Addressing recent issues with the website and API

There's a Netflix original title with the year zero (0):
https://www.netflix.com/title/81156880

It supposes that is the most recent (see date on Globally new to unoGS).

re: Expiring titles... examples or it didn't happen

@admin Here's one of over 30 leaving Netflix US: https://www.netflix.com/title/80047200

Strange - expiring seemed to be updated for the countries with earlier problems but now Canada, Mexico, US and UK are all back to zero titles.

Here's a selection of expiring titles for Canada

I really wish Netflix would choose a lane regarding expiring formats :(, hopefully. this will be fixed in the next pull

Thanks for including Mexico again

Can I just ask that next time there are problems like these (and there have been a couple of instances over the years), not to have 0 data coming in but to keep stale data. For example, it would have been inconsequential to keep Netflix Mexico data for a few days, albeit a little stale, rather than have nothing.

admin · 18 May 2020, 16:12

We did keep stuff up for quite a while before folks started complaining about data being incorrect, the only reason we pulled those countries when we did was because we honestly thought they weren't coming back for a while. To be honest we came pretty close to just shutting the whole operation down...

admin · 18 May 2020, 16:13

oh, and MX is back... we are back up to 27 countries

18 May 2020, 18:11

In Country Detail, if there are more than 100 titles added (e.g. 120), the maximum value is 100 and will not show the rest of the titles.

admin · 19 May 2020, 08:27

correct, please use Advanced Search if you want a full list..

You can specify days back in the search query using the format new last x y where x is a number y is a time period.
e.g
select a country
and search for new last 5 days

All of these titles added within the past 48 hours are missing from your US listings:

These were added to Netflix in Sweden, but not to uNoGS's Swedish section, within the past 5 days or so:

These and probably many more are missing from your listings for France. I had a list of around 50 titles added since May 15th but got tired of checking them all:

19 May 2020, 13:54

This same issue unfortunately applies to your listings for Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain... And those are just some random countries that I checked. It seems that the great majority of what's been added lately is missing.

admin · 19 May 2020, 15:41

you can paste these list directly in the website and they will automatically get added

All these have now been added and will get picked up on the next cycle

@admin for greece search stuff - ya really weird. i think that's the start of hiding most unique content away. But I finding that even directly accessing stuff trips the proxy error these days - especially in CH/Switzerland. The issue I have run into is that I was just using the UI via Selenium to do some matching up of my library to possible higher resolution options. but that doesn't work if 'searcing hides stuff' oh well. It was a good exercise in refreshing my scraping knowledge.

Thank u for bring back Mexico to the list
