Hi,
One of the nice things in mythweb imho is the possibility to link trough
to imdb to get more information on a movie (probably because guideinfo
is very limited here). I would like to add this to mythfrontend so that
you could lookup a movie from the program guide to see if it's worth
recording or not.
I see two ways to do this :
- call mythbrowser with an imdb link like mythnews does for website
related to the newsmessage
- re-use the imdb script and interface from mythvideo to get the info
and layout the data in a propper myth screen
What would you prefer? The first option you have the possibility to link
trough to actors, director etc... The 2nd option would be more
integrated but also more work.
An other question is how to access the info. At the moment the "i"
button is already used to set recording options in the program guide.
Maybe the "m" button?
What do you all think? Anyone else see use for this? And before I put in
the effort, is there a chance this will be included if it's finished?
Steven
