I'm trying to scrape movie links for an add-on.

But the movie thumbnails are base64 encoded strings.

This is how i intend to add the directory item :

Code:

addon.add_directory({'mode': 'individualmovie_kathoram', 'url': fullLink, 'fanarturl': imgfullLink ,'title': names}, {'title': names}, img=imgfullLink)

Suggestions on how i can use the base64 encoded data instead of img url's ?

I think the only way at present is for you to download+decode the base64 to a local file (in addon_data) and set that as the art. Not ideal, but it'll work.

was hoping there'd be a better way than this. thx anyways.
