[QUOTE="jjnaude, post: 399665, member: 49583"] Hi MrTrix First off, thanks for the plugin, it's something I have REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted for a while now. I can't wait to give it a try. :-)) As far as the html parsing is concerned, may I suggest that you consider something like the scriptable scraper that is used by Moving Pictures. You may even be able to reuse some of their code. Any plugin that does HTML parsing tends to be high maintenance and eventually the original author is simply no longer willing or able to adapt the parsing every time the source site's layout changes. Moving this kind of often changed functionality into an external script that is only interpreted at run-time allows community members to get involved and remove some of the workload from your shoulders. A second spin off is that you don't have to deal with 1001 "Please support my personal favourite site" requests, since additional sites can be added by anyone capable of writing a regular expression. Thanks again. This was the last missing piece from my MediaPortal setup. jjnaude [/QUOTE]
