I think what I'm going to do here is leverage off of the ttvdb.py script that
already exists within mythtv. I'm thinking when doing an "Update Episode
listing", for any episode that has No summary data available from tvrage I will
check against thetvdb.com.

I requested an API key from TheTVDB.com and updated grabid.pl to update episode
summary information from thetvdb if it's not available from tvrage. At the end
of the summary information the source is identified. The ttvdb.py script
doesn't grab all of the episode information for a show with one call so I just
updated grabid.pl instead.

Making changes to grabid.pl to use XML::Simple. Also want to allow the user to
choose between TVRage.com or TheTVDB.com.

Been working a little on grabid.pl to allow the choice of tvrage.com or
thetvdb.com. It is currently hardcoded to tvrage.com but most of the code is
there to pull from thetvdb.com. My plan is to make it user configurable. I'm
going to have to leave it as is for today since it's Thanksgiving and I'm on
turkey duty. I uploaded the latest but it is a work in progress. For now you
can change it to pull from thetvdb.com by changing tvrage_defined = 1 to
tvdb_defined = 1.

I think I'm done with this. Both sites have their strengths. I currently
prefer TVRage.com as the default and let TheTVDB.com fill in the blanks. There
are some shows that TVRage doesn't have info on but TheTVDB does and vice
versa, so it's nice to be able to choose.

I forgot to mention that all of the show information is grabbed from
TVRage.com. Episode information can be grabbed from TVRage.com or TheTVDB.com.
The reason for this is that TheTVDB.com doesn't have an API call to grab all
available shows from their DB. They are releasing a new site/API that will
have this capability in the near future. I know there are other ways to get
this info from their site but I will only use the API so that we can play nice
with their systems and comply with their TOS. They will block IP Addresses if
they feel users are abusing their site.
