Hi there,
Before i went off to write my own solution I thought i would see if something like this existed already. Now that I have a central XBMC MySQL database on my server I want to have a CLI script that I can pass a filename argument (like a tv episode) have it download all the relevant data and insert in the DB (same as what the XBMC client does basically). This way no xbmc client would have to scan and retrieve a new eps data, they would just exist in the DB already.
Essentially I guess it would be a CLI scraper. Anyone aware of anything like this? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question.
EDIT: Thought I might do it as CPAN perl module and utilize MySQL and TVDB modules to access the db and reference thetvdb respectively.
Thanks
