Hello,
1. Is it possible to download (or scrap and download) a file in the background silently (keyword silently). If so, how to achieve such thing (not the download process, but the "background silently").
2. How can this download be on a separate thread (not necessarily a real thread, but the same idea), so that it doesn't interfere with the addon/user?
3. Can I run the thetvdb scrapper built-in xbmc on my own addon data or directory items to fetch posters/fanarts/thumbs/info...etc, and how to do this?
4. Finally, how can I make it work automatically on startup (silently in the background)
I am not asking for detailed code, just few lines snippet or even pseudo/human description with pointers. I also don't expect someone to answer them all, if you know one answer, then please share it with me.
I appreciate any help.
