[QUOTE="Nicezia, post: 424777, member: 18472"] Well it be a nice idea to come up with something. Basically now its a opetion between the user having to know something about scripting or programming Or Dealing with XBMC's xml format... i personally love XBMC because its when i wrote my first scraper i didn't have to learn anything but regular expressions and to set up the xml... I just remember thinking back before istarted teaching myself to program... i wish i could get XBMC center to get information from my favorite site, on my movies, then after a trip to the wiki finding out i could, my first thought being - yeah but i'm going to have to learn how to script VB, or C++ or something like that.. when i found out all i had to know was regular expressions and how to format an xml (and to be able to follow a bouncing buffer.) It thrilled me to be able to contribute... as well as to be able to make my program do what I wanted it to do. I think that kind of power should be in everyone's hands, and i know that the XBMC has some difficulties, sure i screwed up some entities writing the xml scrapers, so i'm making every possible way to make it easy on anyone who wants to incorporate it to make it easy for anyone who wants to modify or create a scraper for this format, to do so... I know open source as i understand was brought about so that one wasn't reliant on the creaters or maintainers of a project to get the program to do what they wanted, me, i'm trying to even extend a little of that feeling of freedom to even those who haven't got the skill for scripting. My library is an option, and while you don't have to adopt it as your standard, its going to be out there with many tools to make it easier for the average user to get info from whereever HE wants, without having to break down and learn the principles of programming... Lets just say its a personal quest for me, i am learing to program so others don't have to and can still contribute. [/QUOTE]
