Are you considering this? (I could be totally of here since I don't understand the existing scrapers.)

I just think it would be nice if the scraper had a python wrapper around the regex where you could add some post and possible pre handling.

Like: Oh, you didn't find it, then we do this.

This was actually what I expected when I first looked inside beleiving I could customize it.

it's one of those things that would be nice if somebody did, and very welcome, yet nothing we want to focus on since what we have works well.

Thanks. Then I know. (not a realistic project for myself).

In my case an alternative would be to improve the sorttv script to be more creative in analysing the tvdb and make sure we get a good file name before the scraping.
