[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 646638, member: 76888"] Hi You were asking what would be best to scrape for NZ On Demand TV plugin [B]For TV3 and C4 it's quite straight forward[/B] goto the website - [url]http://ondemand.tv3.co.nz/tabid/56/default.aspx[/url] Then click "Search By [Genre/Title/Channel]" and choose [Title A-Z] You will then see ALL the online content for TV3 & C4 on a single web page. This page gives you series title, episode title, thumbnail, brief description, link to video. by analysing the link to video you can divide the content between TV3 vs C4 [B]For TV1, TV2, TVNZ6, TVNZ7 - You need to scrape a main list page, then a 2nd page for every show (maybe only scrape the 2nd page when the user chooses a show?)[/B] goto [url]http://tvnz.co.nz/video#[/url] Click "Find A show" -> "Shows A-Z" -> "All shows" This gives you the 'main list' of every TV Show available as well as the channel it belongs to. You need to divide the list into TV1, TV2, TVNZ6, TVNZ7 When the user selects a show he wants to watch you have to follow the url and then scrape everything under "Full episodes" and "Videos Extras" and display that as a list to choose what to watch. Alternatively if you wanted to do a less comprehensive scrape for TV1,2,6,7 then only display the default video that is linked to in the main list. This would be enough for some users as the default video is the current/latest episode.
