so everything is possible, eh...?
and it's a good idea, huh...?
so why don't someone make it ??
i would do it myself but as i said - i don't know any scripting. and as homer says - trying is the first step towards failure...

seven5, your suggestions are right on par with what i've been dreaming about for a while now. xbmc is already so good that i feel like crying from joy every time i use it, but a "my tv" section with tv tome lookup functionality with be the icing on the cake :-)

the formatting of the tv tome site is pretty standardized. it probobly wouldn't be impossible to parse it.

if someone is willing to host a script (php) that would scrape the html file and create xml data from it, somewhere fast and able to serve all xbmc users (of this script), and who would be available to update the script when needed, then i think that would be a good compromise...
that way, every script use the same url to get it's data from, and when an update is needed, only the php script needs to be updated, not every xbmc' user scripts!
though tvtome.com might decide to block the host's ip after some time if they monitor for data scrapping...

why not just make a script that allows one to make a series of episode guides for various shows, i mean looking a this simpsons url its just a graphic backround and then text? this could be simple enough? thus u flip thru till you have found the episode you want to view read the info then hit a button to execute the file, you could do a number of them for different shows?
