I scan a site for videos and I need to do multiple requests for each video to get the necessary information in order to be able to play it and display information.
To reduce the loading time, I would like to be able to gather information about the movies, such as "Plot", in the background, after the virtual directory structure has been established.
However, I am not sure how XBMC's plugin architecture works. I presume it loads the items directly into non-python memory, thereby destroying the relationship between my actual node and the pyton ListItem object.
Is it possible to add information to a node after it has been "submitted" to XBMC from the plugin? (i.e. after endofdirectory())
