This may be a for fetch idea but i would like to get some feedback on it.
Right now there are scrapers that are available to retrieve media info on media.
These scrappers can be created without really haveing programming experience.
My idea is to be able to have the ability to create "scraper like" functionality that can be added as a "source". So everyone that wanted programmers to create python scripts for certain web sites will be able to easily create there own scraper for there online source. And being that it is a source, perhaps this media can be added to library mode?
If this were to catch on people could upload all there scrappers to a site to share with others.
Please everyone let me know how bad an idea this is! Or if you like it let me know as well.
