I'd like to try building a scraper plugin

[horstepipe 377]

Hey

there's a german site, https://www.fernsehserien.de

which is the only one having the right episode's order for lots of older, mainly animated, tv shows.

E.g. Paw patrol:
https://thetvdb.com/series/paw-patrol

https://www.fernsehserien.de/paw-patrol/episodenguide

 So you see that in Germany season 1 has 26 episodes, but in the rest of the world all episodes are seperated to 47.

 

So there is a scraper for Kodi (attached), which does not have that much code. So I'd like to try it out based on that and on existing Emby scraper plugin, which in best case does not have that much code, too

So could anybody please give me a little direction, about which Emby plugin lends itself to best, including source code and some general documentation about writing an Emby plugin?

Hi.  If you are going to employ actual scraping techniques (as opposed to using a published API) then please be sure you get permission from the site to do that.

Thanks.

For an example plugin you could check out the metadata provides in the lastfm plugin:
