Alright, so are there any existing EZTV scrapers out there? IIRC the old popcorntime.io use to use EZTV for TV Shows.

amilajack commented 8 years ago

Actually now that I think about it eztv isn't that good of an idea since the website doesnt show the seeder count. We could determine that at runtime but that would be costly. I'll look into how existing strem.io providers are doing this

thangngoc89 commented 8 years ago

There is yts and seztv available in strem.io. We can use it instead.

thangngoc89 commented 8 years ago

As far as I know, eztv is the best source for tv shows

amilajack commented 8 years ago

We're already using yts

z11h commented 8 years ago

Is there anything that can be salvaged from the old popcorntime eztv TV show scrapper?

amilajack commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to get the seeder count of the torrents on eztv?

z11h commented 8 years ago

image Hmm, seems like the 'Alternate Releases' section shows the seeders and leechers for the alternate episode meaning they are recorded. Ill do some more digging to see if it shows up anywhere else.

amilajack commented 8 years ago

This means that the crawler/scraper would have to navigate to each link and scrape each page (at runtime). This would lead to a suboptimal experience. In strem.io's case, they're doing this on the server, according to @thangngoc89. We could find a way to make requests to their servers.

It's well documented here. https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-addons

About EZTV and YTS, there is Popcorn times plugin that fetch content from thoes sites https://github.com/JCB9090/pct-addon

You can spawn a instance of it locally or use a hosted version of it

thangngoc89 commented 8 years ago

Well, looks like pct addon is just a wrapper of official popcorn-api https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-api

Looks like thats what we're looking for.

amilajack commented 8 years ago

https://zooqle.com is a provider I think we might be interested in.

z11h commented 8 years ago

@amilajack and, it looks like they have a nice API https://zooqle.com/help/api.html

amilajack commented 8 years ago

@ZakariaRidouh is it possible to query using an imdb id?

amilajack commented 8 years ago

I looked more into zooqle and I found that their seeder counts dont really beat ours. Dont think there's a point of adding it at the moment. Let me know if you think otherwise.
