[QUOTE="doskabouter, post: 1305162, member: 98267"] My thoughts: Indeed the tests are a leftover from long ago and have no real value anymore. As for things that depend on external sources (imdbscripts, subtitledownloader,onlinevideos etc): that is always a struggle to keep everything (even if you only update those you actually use yourself) working. We do try to find the most stable source ofcourse but sometimes you just don't have that and have to fall back to html parsing, however fragile this is. Having tests that test if those are working is at best a single-point-in-time check which will not say anything for the future. That is why we want to be able to distribute updates without doing a full reinstall/update of the mediaportal setup. But if you think its easier for you to fix the tests in a TDD kind of style (working through a failed test) you're free to do so ofcourse [/QUOTE]
