IMDB-Support: Track Movies and TV-Shows #145

Open heibie opened 9 years ago

heibie commented 9 years ago

hey I justed wanted to let you know about a workaround i set up for tracking the movies and tv-shows i'm watching.

i'm using the imdb-app to check-in movies and tv-shows, i'm watching. imdb provides an rss-feed for your watch-list. i use FeedWordPress-plugin in, which Felix already mentioned here, to pull in my watch-list. that's not perfect, because the rss-feed comes with poor content. i'd like to have more metadata fpr the movies. perhaps something like a yahoo-pipe-mash can prerender this information and ouput it to another rss-feed.

the question which comes up to me for reclaim-plugin: better build another modul for imdb (and use their api)? extend reclaim to add multiple rss-feeds? generally use second plugins, like FeedWordpress to import multiple RSS-feeds?

The Problem is the same with lastfms rss: just The titles in The rss. So whatever rss Plugin you use: you still have to find a way to enrich the Feed with more Metadata (URL, etc)

Hi I just wanted to let you know, that i build a solution for my film/tv-series-problem. i wrote a blogpost about my imdb-module (in german). it's an additional module, which is placed in the "mods" folder of the plugin and it's mainly based on the core-bookmark-module. it's using the imdb-checkin-rss-feed and then gets additional information for every movie/episode from the omdb-api and stores the information as wordpress-post. besides the informations, shown in wordpress frontend (poster, title ...) it's also storing informations about the running-time and the entry-type (movie or episode) in wordpress-metafields. this module is far from perfect, but it's running on my reclaim-hub since 2-3 weeks and it works. you can download the mod-file here. i had also some problems with the caching-time of the simple-pie-class. it didn't update the feed after the set chache-time. so right now, i'm putting a simple timestamp to the rss-feed, so that caching is bypassed at the moment, which isn't perfect.

@klischka i think a fork of this module could be also used for your last.fm problem. you only need a good api for additional music informations.

feel free to use the imdb-mod and i would appreciate feedback and ideas for optimization.
