ndeshmukh: I am considering what I want to do. I like using XBMC built in scrappers when possible.
I wrote some code for amazon to do a similar function to IceLibrary or XBMC.MyLibrary.
It creates strm and nfo files for all of your Favorited shows and movies. It also adds a source for them. You have to set the content for the source and then you just run a library update. The nfo file can supply all the meta that has already been scraped from amazon so if doesn't have to be looked up and adding it to your library is very quick. It is easy to add a option to disable nfo if you want it all scanned from somewhere else. You can still rescan the show to overwrite the nfo data if you want.
I want to do something similar for hulu subscriptions and favorited free cable shows. It is really pretty simple. Hulu has a ton of metadata. I like dumping meta to nfo because it adds everything so quickly.
anyone like this idea? integrating content into the library should be the ultimate goal in my mind. I like idea of a singular source to look for media.
