imdb from scope.dk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Overview from discussion on irc:
the only way would be to setup a seperate PHP script that constantly scrapes 
scope.dk to create a reference overview that links tt-ID to scope-ID

but if i can find the time, i can work up a system for scope.dk, and there is 
nothing they can block, as my system will not proxy between client and their 
site, so they can ban my IP, but it will offer a translation step, so i can go 
http://myserver.com/scope.php?imdb=tt1234567 and as a reply get the scope.dk ID 
back, and then i query scope.dk from client directly, so unless they ban 
scope.dk

Ok, with full foreign title support working, it is time for me to start 
tackling this issue. Does scope.dk total movie count of 7879 sound right to you?

I planned to scrape their total overview page.

Starting with: http://www.scope.dk/film?bogstav=&sortering=3&udvid=2&side=1
All the way to: http://www.scope.dk/film?bogstav=&sortering=3&udvid=2&side=158

But even if I know the scope.dk ID, I'm unable to find an easy reference 
anywhere to the imdb tt-ID. Did they remove the trailer links from the detail 
pages?

The http://www.kino.dk/ and http://www.filmz.dk/ websites at least have an easy 
IMDb link with the correct link on each of their movie info pages.

How complete are they? Do they have 7879 (or more) movies as well indexed do 
you think?

Yes, that sounds about right.

About the trailer imdb tt-ID... only newer movie contains this sort of 
information unfortunately.
But in 9/10 cases you'll get a match by searching google with original title or 
danish title in combination with scope like
http://www.google.dk/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=The+Lord+of+the+Rin
gs%3A+The+Fellowship+of+the+Ring+scope
http://www.google.dk/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=The+Lord+of+the+Rin
gs%3A+The+Fellowship+of+the+Ring+scope#sclient=psy-ab&hl=da&source=hp&q=Ringenes

something that you get from imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/
Ringenes herre: Eventyret om ringen (2001) 
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (original title)

---------------------------------------------------------

Filmz.dk might have imdb tt-ID for al movies, but all movies does not contain 
summary etc. They have only been added to be used as reference. A bit smaller 
than scope.dk

Kino.dk is more like a cinemasite with whats coming in cinema and reviews and 
that stuff.

Lovefilm.dk Actually quite a movie rental site. No imdb at all :(

headweb.com alternative to lovefilm, online rentning. They have 3527 movies and 
all with imdb reference! But summary aren't as good as scope, and sometimes 
they're in english.
