[solved] Example Plugin that consumes built in grabbers...? (1 Viewer)

[ChubbyArse]

Hi All,

Hopefully I'm on the right track - I would like to write a plugin that consumes the grabbers that are defined in the Video configuration. I'm writing a plugin that will retrieve movie info / thumbnails / backgrounds and don't necessarily want to reinvent the wheel.

Can someone point me in the direction of a plug in that does this? I've dug around in the GUIVideos plug in, however this seems to use a IMDBFetcher class - rather than delegate to any grabber-based interface to grab. Also things like MovingPictures seem to use their own implementations?

Am I barking up the wrong tree, or is this something I'm able to do?

Thanks

Hi,

have you seen this wiki page?

Thanks for that - I had seen it, but it seemed applicable to IMDB only whereas the grabber dialog in MP Config allows a choice from several different (non-IMDB) grabbers.

Would I be right in thinking then that the original grabber implementation was for IMDB originally, but expanded out to other implementations but as existing implementations existed, the interface name could be changed.

If so, I guess all this is being addressed in MP2?
