Hi,
After a long time using XBMC, I decided it was time for me to start developping a few addons, so I'm pretty much a newb with XBMC's API.
One of my firsts attempts will be to add a DataBase editor inside XBMC, in order to easily detect and edit my badly tagged movies (when file name is not the name retrieved from the scrapper for example), and browse the movies that weren't found at all in the scrappers. The idea is to regroup what is already feasible inside XBMC inside a single screen, with less clicks required . It shouldn't be really hard, but hard enough for a first addon (something close to http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=57031) .
So, I've been searching the API for how to edit the DB from within XBMC, unsuccessfully. I've read that the DB is accessible from the JSON api, but I could only see getters, no setters.
Am I missing something? Is DB editing even available from python addons ?
Thanks !
