Then the user can go into their Moving Pictures configuration screen and hit &quot;update&quot; (perhaps a once a week auto-check), and the plugin will obtain all the new scraper releases from the <a href="http://moving-pictures.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/MovingPictures/DataProviders/ScraperScripts/" target="_blank">Google SVN Scraper folder</a> (and perhaps a seperate location for the non-standard scrapers, such as this RottenTomato one). MediaPortal uses something like that for the MyVideos scrapers, as it allows scraper updates. I'll bring that up with the developers, see what they think.But now that the IMDb scraper works again, I'll resume my work on the RottenTomato ones, and integrate all the changes. And I'll make multiple versions (Long/Short with TomatoMeter/Average, etc), because really it doesn't take much time due to the tools I got (WinMerge and such).So check back later today or tomorrow and I'll have those done.
