TVRage Scraper?

Post by daKlone »

Can anyone tell me how to change the scraper used for TV shows to TVRage, rather than TVDB? I've gone through the "Set Content" method, but only have TVDB listed as a possible source.

I'm running XBMX4XBOX 3.5 Stable.

Thanks :D

Thanks for your reply, Dom.

Do you know why this is? Is it a technical reason, i.e. it can't be supported, or a development one, i.e. no-one is working on it, or something else?

This is due to less interest by community and or coders. Of course it is technically possible to add new scrapers although it is in my opinion some harder to implement than just Python (because of System Integration and XML regex). It would be not very hard to write a complete Python scraper but that wouldnt have a System Integration like the normal, builtin scrapers.

E: As yo see here: http://services.tvrage.com/info.php?page=main it also supports scraping so maybe tvdb is just better?!
