HTPC and anime, possible?
iakovl:
right now i'm considering starting to use dedicated HTPC software like XMBC and BOXEE and i started to wonder...
do they (or other) have a plug-in or feature for anime that works like the IMDB plugs that take data from it and show it about the movies/tv shows you have on your pc.
geoffreak:
Plex has a plugin for thetvdb.com for metadata, so I assume other versions of XBMC can or do as well. I have personally made sure that some of the more obscure anime are in the database, but the mainstream is always added quickly.
kureshii:
XBMC has scrapers for TheTVDB, IMDB etc and music videos as well. I can't remember the full list, but one can always just take a look in the software itself ;) Too bad AniDB's scraping rules are strict so there's hardly any work being done on releasing an AniDB scraper.

Perhaps if someone offered to host a/some server/-s. ;p

I'll leave Anime Bite open for scraping once it can afford the extra bandwidth
