I'd just like to update everyone on the list of my progress writing my movie library plugin. I saw that others are interested in writing something similar.
The IMDb plugin is "finished". An initial version of it that retrieves all of the data from IDMb for a movie and allows searching for movies. I had originally wanted to use imdbpy, but I was talked into using the elisa http client to improve the user experience. So I wrote the screen scraper code from scratch. I define my own models that extend "Model". I'd like to add searching for actors along with the capability to retrieve all of the information on an actor too, but that will come later. Right now, it just grabs the Person's imdb id and their name. The IMDb plugin has been submitted for code review. You can find it here: https://elisa.fluendo.com/quality/review/ I've got a lot of the poster retrieval plugin written right now. I'm just ironing out some architectural issues that shouldn't be too hard. I'd like to have the initial version of it submitted this week. Finally, the visual part of my project will be a movie library plugin that will use both imdb and the movie poster plugins. I've got screen shots/mockups on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tale/tags/movielibrary/ I've got that started as you can see by the screen shot. I need to implement the details page and hook up the code to use the other plugins. I'd love to have help with the plugin. Feel free to contact me if you want to work together. I'd like this plugin to get incorporated into the main release so I'm going to try and architect it in a manner that is useful to all. -- Trey ____________________________________________________________ Click here to find the perfect picture with our powerful photo search features. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/Ioyw6iiedACQP4wkNvNY0M0oogAjemFrnD0nrl9Xkstdd15siG6C7V/
