Full Version: Scraper reading a xml file

Hello everyone, I would like to develop my first scraper. I would like to know if it is possible that the scraper read an xml file which you previously stored the details of the film.
I thank all those who help me.
currently it's assumed that all resources used by the scraper are available over http(s). it *might* work with a file:// type url, i'm not sure if kodi's curl is smart enough to do that.

that being said, if you already grabbed the data it's easier to just use nfo files i reckon.
A .nfo file is pretty well xml isn't it?
yes, a nfo file is the exact same xml format as what a scraper outputs as its results.
