but if this working with Dharma ?

It does on my install. It's written for the live install, so I'm sure if it's gonna work on windows (you'll have to install php and change some paths at least).

But I use also MySQL (to share and synchronize XBMC userdata profiles between multiple machines) this could be the problem ?

Yes, that's a problem. The script is written for sqlite. With a little PHP knowledge it's quite easy to rewrite the script for mysql. Unfortunately, I do not have running setup with mysql and not the time to do this myself.

Maybe someone else would like to jump in and create a mysql version?

someone could easily re-write this in python for an addon version (I might take a look but I can't promise anything).

Addon version would be great for it's universality across all platforms, unfortunately you can't utilize xbmc scrapers in python yet, so it would need a standalone scraper within the script.

that's not really an issue. this php code has its own scraper, you could just use the regex from it. or the code from the official imdb scraper could just be adapted for this one.

*sigh* I'll have a go at it tonight when I get home from work.Smile

who wants to test it? I should probably start a new thread, but I dont know what the etiquette is for releasing a script. should I create a repository first?

I will also be happy to test.

You don't have to make your own repo, you could release it as a standalone addon (like both iplayer and tvcatchup) or you could just try to get it into the official repo (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=78532).
