Bit of a concept idea I have.. Thought I'd run it by you. It might be possible to implement or it might be impossible - your the brains so I'll leave you to decide
Right.. Other video plugins browse IMDB and when you select a movie or tv show it will search the net for the video. Now since the newznab compatible sites link releases to IMDB (at least it looks like they do) could your newznab addon browse IMDB and when a movie is selected it scrapes the compatible site and displays the results and you then select the one you want to play?
I am steeling the idea from a couple of other addons that do this and they work well. I could PM you with more information if you like.
Thanks for listening Mr P
Cheers
PS. Great work with pneumatic
Good idea! Newznab has a API for imdb-id search. If you "context menu" a movie you will see "Search for this movie". It uses the imdb id for a look up. Transforming imdb into a addon is a huge task but definitely doable. I have way to many things on my mind before doing this but why don't you give it a try? I can provide a newznab addon api for taking care of the imdb id "your" addon sends..
