[QUOTE="Inker, post: 32313, member: 10541"] Hey, If you do rewrite this plugin (I implemented the current version) may I suggest you use James' web parser classes. We intented to use one web class for all the web calls out there in an effort to merge as much of the codebase, so I think you should do that. Also while I do agree that there are several issues with it currently, I do not think that it is really difficult to use. The biggest problem I see is merely the presentation to the user or rather the selection he/she can make. I believe the backend is rather solid and works flawless 90% of the time, at least for the shows I regularly use it for. Especially the show/episode/season guessing from the filename is really solid I think, so you might want to reuse that part. As far as seperation goes, I did have a prototype running a few weeks ago with its own database but lacked the time to do a nice frontend for it with things like clicking on show, clicking on season etc. This is not intented as a way for me to say "It's all there and I have done it before you" but merely as an indication that I agree with your ideas. That being said, here are some of my ideas of what I had planned/hoped to see it doing eventuell, but simple havent had the time for: -When browsing shows, instead of using simple names, use the header image on tv.com (the one in the header thats nicely widescreen, even has the showname already in it...eg:[url]http://image.com.com/tv/images/special_images/program/112.jpg[/url] -use a different info page specifically for tv series, perhaps again showing this image and also allowing the user to specify url patterns for episode specific images (there are none on tv.com, however several websites provide episode images for specific shows. the way I did this was to simple read a txt file in a subfolder that had the contents like this: Showname;http://www.url.com/728/<show>/<season0>-<episode00>.jpg 0 would mean single digits unless i>9 and 00 would mean always double digits, eg. 09 instead of 9. I think you get my point. I have found good websites for this for several popular shows such as startrek, stargate, bsg, lost, friends, etc.. Some other things I had early scetches for but cant quite remember now. Now, I will be more than happy if you do indeed rewrite this plugin (and will helping testing as much as I can) and if you get this done within a week I will forever bow down to you ;-) Inker [/QUOTE]
