myTrailers local showtimes extension (4 Viewers)

[falkyre]

[UPDATE]

Hey everyone.....

Small update...

Jim aka key master (from Meedio world) has provided a very good backend for getting movie showtimes for you local area. I intend on using this to create a database that will be updated via some form of scheduling system and then use myTrailers to tie into the trailers...

Wow, half of my work is done...

Thanks to Jim!

[/UPDATE]



Hi all,

I'm going full on with redoing the myShowTimes plugin and have talked to ZipperZip, the author of myTrailers to get permission to add to the myTrailers plugin. That is what I am going to do.

Now what I need from you....What web pages do you use to get your local showtimes. USA and Canada already work, I'm going to look at the code from t he Meedio plugin that captures the data for Germany, Switzerland, UK, France (and some others I can't recall at the moment) and convert those into the MP world. So can others provide....

URL
Name of City to do a search on
Some form of Zip Code/Postal code if required.

I intend on building the parsing modules for each location and after those work, then add them into the myTrailers plugin...

Thanks!

This sounds killer! I look forward to using your new plugin. I am located in USA, but if you need any help, please let me know.

How's your regular expression matching? I use it everyday at work but just basic stuff. That's where all the fun will be. The actual coding and GUI stuff should be really easy, it's the regex stuff that does all the work and the HTML scraping...

The best Dutch site is http://www.filmladder.nl/

is has a per city selection posibility

Like ASiDiE - Be willing to check it out with USA.
BTW - I have used Fandango in the past.

Also www.cinema.de has a good overview for Germany.

Thanks for you work.

For France, the best site is www.allocine.fr.

But we have already work on a grabber ( forum : http://www.mp-fr.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2201&st=0 ) for a plugin.

So, i think the better way is that we merge with you.

We can help you to integrated the french parser. We need for this an explanation about data management (XML files, data base, ...).

Thanks
