I do think it will be useful for a meaningful amount of the users, I don't know if English is your mother tongue

Also a Flemish speaking Belgian computer science student (but from the city with cheaper beer ). And indeed it might be nice to have a Dutch plot (mainly for my parents) and everything else from imdb. The way you explain it I can see it being usable, as long as people can also download all-in-one scrapers (which of course can still work with modules behind the curtains).

About the speed: I think the current scraping is all done by a single thread (correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe I read it somewhere), maybe there are opportunities for parallelisation.
And actually it's not the scraping that really annoys me, it's the looking for file changes. Some watched folders feature could improve this, but I don't know how feasible that is with all the different file protocols xbmc supports.

Beer in villages will always be cheaper Parallelisation is of course an option but at first the threading will be done in xbmc not the library. XBMC will do stuff like lib.init(scraperlist), lib.getPlot(path),...
