TheTVDB: How does it work? - MKay - 2012-02-24
Hi,
currently I am analyzing the tvdb-scraper (for Dharma) and have a question about the (general) scraper-behaviour:
Inside <GetSearchResults> the found tv shows will be returned.
And one result contains a url where information about the tv show can be found.
So far so good
In case of the tvdb-scraper this url points to a zip-archive.
Now I am wondering how this is handled by the scraper-engine, because the zip-file itself contains 3 xml-files.
Which one will be used in the following <GetDetails>-call?
Are all these xmls combined to one large xml file or how does it work?
Best Regards,
MKay

Yep, exactly. In case a .zip is found we extract and append the contents (see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/utils/ScraperUrl.cpp#L223).
