Question 
Is there a way to utilize the built in scrapers (imdb, tvdb) to populate the movie info dialog instead of setting it manually using setInfo()?

i think there is, i want to build this into my addon. someone who knows will hopefully contribute.
might be an idea to look at the imdb/tvdb scraper source, since the're packaged as addons.

i need this feature too. any1 know?

TV Shack addon doesn't use built-in scrapers, it uses old python scraper scripts, which would be less than satisfactory.

will there be in the future?

seems logical to have python functions in xbmc or xbmcplugin modules that let you call them.
