Hi,
Wondering if anyone is aware of a good documentary website for scraping and if there are any scrapers for it?
If not anyone interested in setting one up? I am a big fan of documentaries and would help out however I could by adding content but I am not a web designer so would need help there.
Of course all this would be made better in my opinion if I could have a documentary section in XBMC instead of mixing it with TV Shows; but that's a separate issue.
Best,
R
Documentary Website

thetvdb has had most documentaries i've added and is an ideal place for them. If they don't have your's why not add the content.

Perhaps you're right re thetvdb but, many of the documentaries I have were not on TV Do you know if these are allowed. It's one of the main reasons why I hate putting them in the TV section of my own library

Documentaries are fine on thetvdb, as i mentioned most i have are on it - you just need to make sure you get the names correct.
What do you have that isn't on it? xbmcBoxes.com - The definitive source for xbmc hardware configuration and setup info Shuttle XS35GT Build and Review www.paulrae.com - my blog with lots of useful xbmc and htpc related articles How to enable debug logging and post a debug log How to post about a problem in a useful manner to get better help Debug file location I run XBMC on a selection of ION based xbmc appliances and a atv, all being feed by a opensolaris based NAS using zfs (8*1.5tb, 8 *1tb, 4*400gb). |

Documentaries are OK in thetvdb, but in my opinion, the best site for documentaries is, hands down, the docuwiki from mvgroup.org. The wealth of data, high-quality maintenance and up-to-date information is much better than thetvdb, although of course it does not have the api-friendliness and adequate posters/fanart/banners for an HTPC that thetvdb has. They are kind of complementary though. |
