Hi Guys,
I'm trying to modify the TVDB scraper from the Kodi repo to scrape the episode thumbnail from The Movie Database (TMDB) as a substitute, with all other data to remain being scraped using the TVDB service as normal.
I've been reading up on the very helpful Wiki guide: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Write_media_scrapers but unfortunately, I can't seem to make any sense of the part explaining how to get information from elsewhere (Chapter 3)
Would anyone be able to tell me how I can achieve this or, even better, post a modified version to achieve this?
In the TVDB xml, line 304 is the relevant part for episode thumbs.
I would really appreciate if anyone knowledgeable in scraper development is willing to donate a few mins of their time to advise me on exactly how to achieve this, bearing in mind I've no experience of scraper writing and base all my knowledge on this topic from reading the Wiki page.
Many thanks!
EDIT: I'll be using my own API key, so no need to worry about that part.
