good now i can move on to supporting TVShow scrapers
Then Music video scrapers
Then Music Scrapers
The hardest part is over now its just a matter of adding in the other functions and considerations for things other than movies
after that i'm going to start making custom scrapers for games, comics, books, magazines
(I'm quite ambitious)

i'd do mvids first as that's pretty much identical to movies, the online part that is. the other part is just another function that is fed the filename.

Allright i'll go with music vids next.
is there somewhere i could find a list of standard function in each scraper type and what the return data is supposed to look like (because i've already noticed TVShows has a completely different return format from movies in get search results)

Quick Question
Where in the source do you define your music video tags?

you guys aware that the mtv and yahoomusic scrapers don't currently work in XBMC (at least the versions released with 9.04)?
I'm going to go ahead and fix them and submit a diff.
Oh and btw, support for music video scrapers is done, as soon as i manage to fix the two that exist
on to TV Shows next
Edit: Sorry, the yahoomusic scraper works on quite a few videos, however its just the fact that most of the music videos i have are obscure ones,
The MTV one however failed on even every one i've tried, it goes through the search fine, but doesn't pull any info about the video..

FYI, updated mtv.xml scraper (r20513) now uses the MTVN content API which is a bit less error prone.

might i suggest adding a version attribute to the scrapers? so people can know which version of the scrapers they have? It would make it easier to keep track of the need to update scrapers. Also i'm thinking that it might be a good way for users of the library if they need to save settings to know when those settings need to be updated from a new version of the scraper.
