pyXBMCscrape (batch NFO and art scraper)
#1
I couldn't find a simple program to fetch information from IMDB and art from TMDB to create an offline database for XBMC so I wrote my own. Suggestions and bug reports are greatly appreciated.

http://www.richardpeng.com/projects/pyXBMCscrape/

Main Features:
- Detects potential mismatches when it searches and prompts for the correct IMDB/TMDB ID
- Run in interactive mode to choose art from a list of URLs
- Force the script to use a specific IMDB/TMDB ID for the scrape
- Will not overwrite existing nfo and art files by default
- Download extra fanart

Code:
Usage: pyXBMCscrape.py [options] filenames

Options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -i             Interactively choose poster and backdrop
  -r             Rescrape nfo files and art
  -R             Recurse into subdirectories
  --no-nfo       Do not fetch IMDB or create nfo
  --no-art       Do not fetch TMDB art
  --imdb=IMDBID  Specify the IMDB ID to scrape
  --tmdb=TMDBID  Specify the TMDB ID to fetch art
  --all-art      Fetch all available backdrops

good tool so far, but would not be smarter if we can use the orginal scrapers from xbmc?

The purpose of my script is closer to that of Media Companion and Ember. I believe I posted in the wrong category since my script isn't intended for direct integration with XBMC, but an external tool. It should be in the "Supplemental Tools for XBMC" forum.
