Hi there (und Grüße aus FfM),

I'm pretty happy with how glyr's working, thanks for that. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a tool which can reliably do the same for video (movies, tvshows) as glyr is doing for music. Thus I'd like to ask if you'd be interested extending glyr to a (pretty much) one stop solution for both audio & video?

So specify f.e. "--type={show,movie}" and then selectively get things like original title, airdate, plot, etc. from tvdb, imdb, etc.

Thanks for consideration(alternatively I'm happy with some links to other projects, too, of course).

Hi,

Movies and Shows are not in glyr's reach, Sorry. There is however a library called libhugin that was developed as a "glyr-for-movies" by a friend. Not sure how well it is working right now. But I guess you're better off by asking the original author. As far as I know it is scheduled for a rewrite currently.

You can find it here:

Thanks for the hint, I'll check it out.

(close at will or leave it open in case you change your mind ;) )
