Additional TV Scraping Data #87

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Could you add a few extra details to the scraping process via 
the "custom_metadata_properties".

Channel the show aired on (TVDB)
Season description/Synopsis (TVDB)
Season Rating (I'm not sure if TVDB supports this, maybe use IMDB)

At the bottom of the TVDB they have a "New Today" section which list's the 
days new shows/episodes. Could we somehow use/take this info and perhaps I 
could then display this as a scrolling RSS ticker so user's could see 
whats coming out that day.

Actors is something else that I'd also like to expand on but I'll leave 
that for another day :)

but the series information needs to go somewhere else, other than with the 
mediafile,
since it is shared my multiple mediafiles.  This probably won't happen, until 
we get
a database.

As for the other info, ie, what's new today, etc, you can already do that using 
the
current epg data, so I don't think we'll spend any additional effort scraping 
them
from other site.

Oki, I did wonder where storing season info could be held and thought it maybe 
an 
issue. I had the idea that it could go into the base "Season" folder for that 
show. 
The database thingy sounds good though so I'll wait for that to make an 
appearance 
sometime in the very near future.....Only joking I know its a very long way off 
:)

Would you reconsider adding the shows airing channel to the api. I'm quite sure 
TVDB 
supports this as I've seen it on MP and being outside the U.S we dont have that 
info 
available to us. A silly request I know but I like seeing what channel a show 
aired/premiered on.
