Re: IMDb+ Scraper (Fix English, Rename+Group, RottenTomatoes, and more) v3.2.5




Just to give you an idea of what's coming, and already done in the v3.3.0 version that I'm working on:


  1. DONE: Improved speed on scraper with less memory usage
  2. DONE: Limit writer and director to just one name if desired, as some skins would make multiple names horizontal scroll.
  3. DONE: Add support for 7 extra languages for summary, certification, spoken-language and genres for: English (default of course), German, Italian, Icelandic, French, Spanish, Portugese, and Swedish.
  4. Dutch language support will be added later, have to write a PHP based proxy system first that takes care of API access that the scraper script can not do.
  5. Multi-language rename+group support will be added, it will be split between existing English prefix and foreign subtitle. For example: "Star Wars IV: La guerra de las galaxias" for Spanish users.
  6. Simplified debugging support to report problems back easier
  7. IN PROGRESS: Update plugin+skin to make all the new options fit easier
  8. IN PROGRESS: MPEI package to install the plugin very easy
  9. SOON: Plugin will install new and auto-update existing scraper scripts while MediaPortal is running


The whole problem with path will be sorted via the install/auto-update system that the plugin will handle, as I will be able to copy the XML files to a proper location and adjust scraper script before importing to point to this location. The MPEI package will make it easier to install everything.


I'm going as fast as I can, so stay tuned :cool:
