Working with an another HD-Trailer.Net Downloader User (Matsul), we explored new ways to create and support parsers for Trailer feeds. As an experiement, Matsul created a parser for the trailer feed at TrailerFreaks.
This works marvelously!!. As a test, I uploaded a beta version of HD-Trailer.net Downloader that used the TrailerFreak rss feed. This has a couple of advantages; The trailerFereak rss feed typically lists a few more movies. It also provides the imdb movie ID so I don't have to look it up. Althugh the look up in good at locating the correct movie listing, there are mistakes.
So Matsul also replicated the parser for HD-Trailer.Net and the german trailer feed MovieMaze (sp). These work well as well. NOow I just have to figure out how to add the parsers so that they can be selected in the config file. THere are a couple of complications, not all sites have all of the information used by HD-Trailer.Net Downloader and sometimes there are too many trailers listed at the same time so have to provide a machanism to select which trailers to download.
Fun times ahead. A special thanks to Matsul for the push and providing the first drafts of the new parsers.
