Using moviename.nfo and scraping from IMDB for additional info - kelque - 2009-12-26
I'm trying to use moviename.nfo files to group sets of movies, and on that files I only have something like this:
[HTML]<movie>
<set>Star Trek</set>
<sorttitle>Star Trek 2009</sorttitle>
</movie>[/HTML]
So the set does get picked up, but since I don't have a <title> section (or anything else for that matter), I was wondering whether that info could be scraped from IMDB.
I mean XBMC does the scraping, not that I do it and put it in the nfo. Essentially, that XBMC fills in the missing information from one of the online scrapers.
Here is some info on that: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Import_-_Export_Library#Video_nfo_files_containing_a_mix_of_XML_and_URL
But I'd still have to get the URL myself, and I was hoping that wasn't necessary. Also, the example only mentions IMDB, but is it usable with the other scrapers, like TheMovieDB?
Thanks!

Yes, you can put in any URL supported by any of the scrapers.

Alright, I created a script, and it wasn't hard at all (Ruby FTW!).
I *almost* have a fully working library... now on to the music.
Thanks!
