TMDb scraper feature request: support adult titles

Hello,
Recently TMDb added support to allow searching for adult films via the API.

It would be great to see this feature added to the TMDb scraper - possibly as a configurable setting.

I remember that I read that xbmc doens't want to naturaly support adult media/scrapers, so I don't think it will be added on the official repository.

I took a look at the scraper and the api and it ist very simple to add this feature.

Just replace the following line from CreateSearchUrl:


with the following line:

Hi,

Could someone please explain how I can make the changes shown above on XBMC on my Apple TV please?

What file is this in and what is the best way to edit that file?

Thx

Do you have a link for where you found that information?

As long as it is implimented as a configurable option (off by default), then I don't see how people who are offended by adult content would be exposed to it. Especially if 1) adult content is off by default and 2) they don't have any adult content in their library.

I'm willing to make the modifications neccesary to the TMDB scraper, but only if it actually has a chance to make it into the official release.

Thoughts?

No chance.

The adult addon repo has an adult scraper you can download.

I'm not interested in just any "adult scraper." I'm interesting in pulling the existing adult titles that are already in TMDB. I still don't see why this would be a problem if it's a configurable option.

Part of the reason I want to use TMDB is that 1) I've already contributed to them, and 2) scanning a unified movie collection with multiple scrapers is not easy (please correct me if I am wrong on this).

So what blocks you to use the above mentioned modification which makes this possible for you?

Nothing blocks me from doing it just for myself. I just would rather commit this enhancement to the official TMDB scraper so that others may benefit from this feature. Also, this would save me the effort of tracking my patch and reapplying locally with every official update to the TMDB scraper. You know, the driving spirit behind open source development.

Is this unreasonable? I feel like I'm missing something because I don't see why it's a problem to commit a small change that gives users configurable access to additional information from an already used service about films in their collection. Is the problem really just that the info will be from a genre of films some people don't like?

Because we will not allow adult scraping in the official version.
