Media Info callback and downloading a large number of resources
#1
I find that I run into the same problem with every plugin that I develop where I have to scrape a very large number of pages in order to get media info for every item in the list. I was curious how other people are solving this issue?

I am using asyncore to enable async downloading of lots of pages, however this can still take awhile. Usually I have enough info to display the list items after scraping the first page, the problem is that I need to scrape a page to get the media info for each list item.

What are some ideas to get around this?
Is it possible to update the media info for a list item after addDirectoryItems() has been called?
Is it possible to set a callback into the plugin whenever a user requests the media info for a list item? Then I would only need to parse 1 page each time movie info is viewed.

Thanks,
Jon
