Hulu List Caching

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Variably cache the lists from hulu so that browsing doesn't take as long.

(Possibly re-cache in background mode similar to a "look for new media" ?)

Under TV, things like "Popular TV", & "Recently Added" couldn't be cached for 
obvious reasons, but Channels / Networks, with refreshes maybe once a week / 
whatever. Alphabetical could be a permanent list, since the alphabet doesn't 
change.

I had this on my list also - cache anything the use accesses for the current 
session at least - if that makes sense.

most of the slow down with listings is because beautifulsoup is slow. I could 
cache the results but beautiful soup would still be slow processing the cache.

I will experiment a bit and see if I can speed things up. I probably won't be 
caching stuff though. moving from beautilful soup to regular expressions would 
greatly speed things but though but would make the code less dependable.

Would it be possible to use psyco to speed up beautifulsoup?

Hulu has blocked this plug in.
