1.997 - Not grabbing plot summary of new movies

I just used 1.997 to scrape some new movies I got and noticed that the scraped grabbed everything except for the plot summaries.

This is not an issue with Media Companion, I've noticed myself that recent movies on IMDB do not have Plot Details.

An example of this would be Saw V

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132626

The url for the Plot Summary would be http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132626/plotsummary

As you can see there is no summary, only a link to a synopsis, while it would be very simple to add the synopsis to Media Companion, i'm not sure this would be a good idea due to the size,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132626/synopsis

As you can see, this in no summary, but a detailed outline of the movie.

If the above isn't the case could you give me an example of a movie that is not getting the available plot summary

Ah...you're right

» Plot and Outline not being scraped for movies? (and sets?)
» Newline in PLOT causes truncation
» Error when editing Movies/Main Browserthen going to Movies/Table
» 3.039: Scan for new movies does not always detect new movies
» batch Rescrape: Plot unwanted rescraped
