as long as you can perform the search and each entry has a separate url, the actual search url is irrelevant. look at the html and the form..

There are still several fields in the editor where I couldn't figure out what they are for (Trim, Inverse from "Expression" and "PostData", "Cache as" from the Tester), but I just copied the settings from existing scrapers and it worked without any problems.
Really nice piece of work.

trim removes whitespace on the boundaries of strings. no idea about that inverse. and cache is useful if you want to run several functions on one page. the parameter is a local file which we cache the url to, hence avoiding refetching it when you run the second function

add as many <thumb> tags as you see fit. whatever pops up first gets the priority.

If there is no large Image, I see it right away and can select the lower one.
But if I set the priority to the lower ones and a larger is availible, I might not realise it and stick with the one xbmc downloaded for me.

i mean, if there isn't a large image for the movie available on the site, don't add it. simple as that. if you then process them as
1) large image expression
2) small image expression
large image always gets priority, yet the small image is used if there is no large available.
