When scraping a movie in TMDB for example, some data fields may be missing. If I scrap that same movie with IMDB, those fields could be filled, but may be missing others. So, in this example, neither scraping source is a full solution.
I am proposing that the scraping be done so that the required (wanted) fields for a movie are asked and the selected scrapers fill them in, not just a single scraper. Conflicts can be brought to users attention, or more simply, the scrapers can be selected in priority order.
I understand that to some degree, this functionality is there by selecting individual data fields for each scraper and running them. This would be a more user friendly way to just get the data filled in for the user.
EDIT: The UMS is an option, but this would have to be used via donor version or a slight workaround to just use it through Kodi to populate. Additionally, UMS does not completely fill the request.
