Hi,
I would like to ask about the stance of the kodi project on a possible scraper reuse in another project (also GPL). And possibly any best practice you would recommend.
I was toying with the idea of writing my own scraper, but then saw the giant library of kodi scrapers, read how to write a scraper, and figured implementing your "engine" (which BTW I find very ingenious) would be a lot easier than writing/maintaining my own scrapers. I currently have a proof of concept working (themoviedb scraper loads and gets info for a movie
) .
Of course I have no idea if it will go anywhere, but if it does, I'd like to be on good terms with you guys
Thanks,
serafean.
