Hi Philippe,
at lp:elisa-plugin-movie-library you can find the source of the plugin. It's
only an import of my branch.
I took a quick look on the moviedb/tvdb branch. If I get it correctly, those
are only two resource providers, so nothing is exported/shown to any
decorator? I didn't know about these websites actually, I like the
`backdrops' images (integration with elisa??). What was your idea on the
integration with the movie library?
You've mentioned some changes in the DB but I haven't notice any change in
the .db file (just quickly checked with sqlitebrowser). I think we need to
be able to divide "videos" in movies, series, rest. You can do it
plugin-based (as in my plugin), but I think it should be something in the
database. I understand this may take time until it's changed in the
mainstream though.
Cheers,
Matej
