[Approved] - IMDB.com (default info grabber)

In latest SVN i add support for scripting using CS-Script from http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/~olegshilo/index.html
in this may find some example of scripts, but basically every script are a standalone class.

Only one script included, it is for imdb.com grabbing, the code is same like used in mediaportal for grabbing.

For making a new grabber need to be implement the next class:

Code (text):

  public interface IIMDBScriptGrabber
  {
   // get the list on find films specified by the title
    void FindFilm(string title, int limit, ArrayList elements);
   // get movie detail from a url
    bool GetDetails(IMDB.IMDBUrl url, ref IMDBMovie movieDetails);
   // name of script
    string GetName();
   // language of grabbed site
    string GetLanguage();
  }
 

then copy the new script in scripts\imdb\ directory with csscript extension
in configuration will appear in available databases with file name with you save it

The green highlighted file is available via Update in MediaPortal Configuration.

To make a grabber you may use any class implemented in .net 2 or mediaportal (for mediaportal need to use all namspace specification like <MediaPortal.GUI.Library.Log.Error("bla bla")>) or define new one in script, but some C# knowledges needed, in this way you or somebody able to make grabber for any site.

In this week i try to make more grabbers, a template file and some documentation in wiki

I make a new grabber for http://www.gaz1.com/movdb/ but is more a example.

Write a tester program for scrips, copy in same directory with mediaportal

Dukus - Do you have any sample scripts we can test out, so I can start to understand?
