Hi!

When i'm in EPG i'm able to query OFDB / IMDB but mostly i get no result and when i get some english one. So is it possible to integrate here the MovingPicuture Scraper scripts?

Not at least currently. Also such would require some sort of "light" plugin architecture as we cannot create any dependencies to the MP for a 3rd partly plugins.

Thanks for your reply - OK.

For what it's worth this would not be too hard to integrate. The core of our scraper engine is totally stand alone. You'd just need to create a wrapper to put the output in a format you want. You basically input a movie title and optionally a few other pieces of data and it outputs a Dictionary of values. But as Tourette mentioned because the EPG has no plugin architechture, it would have to be a change to MediaPortal itself.

EDIT: Actually just to be clear, the output is a List of Dictionaries, each dictionary representing a single movie. So you get a list of search results basically. I think it's not as simple as I implied above but it still would be pretty easy I think.
