how to scrape own moviedatabase - yofob - 2014-04-05

I want to scrape my own moviedatabase based on mysql/php. So I could define the xml output-format of this database.

But how should the scraper be written?

Hi,

Do you have access to your DB from your XBMC via HTTP? If so, you can send some SQL over HTTP requests to your DB and than parse the results.
Use GetSearchUrl with your SQL string:
http://localhost:1234/path/to/your/db?query=SELECT%20title%20FROM%20movie_table
