im refactoring the data objects in the code and i want to do it in such a way where we are not hard coded for thetvdb. can anyone think of other tv databases out there we could possibly use in the future?

do you see any value in making it so we can search more than one source? i do, but im not sure its worth the time.

I think that even if you don't have another source straight away.

Creating a single source with a plugin-like interface will be the best idea.

If someone wanted to come along and add another source later on it should be a really simple job.


All functions of v3 i think should follow this method.

IMDB and TVRage seem to be the most popular sources for information at the moment, apart from TVDB. An interesting approach by FileBot is that it allows you to rename files based on multiple sources. Implementing something into TV Rename could be interesting, for example you could choose one series to follow anidb.net's listings (and renaming method?) and another to use TVDB's. Just a thought.

please please add TVRage, thetvdb is not useful for downloading TV shows because a lot of things are totally out of sync with everyone else including the "scene" which is where we get all the content from anyway!
