I couldn’t find a simple script to automatically pull metadata IMDB and download art from TMDB for XBMC, so I wrote my own. Even though XBMC has built-in scraping, I prefer the additional control of a semi-interactive scraper for batch processing or when the scraper scrapes the wrong movie.
Repository: http://github.com/richardpeng/pyXBMCscrape
Main Features:
- Detects potential mismatches when it searches and prompts for the correct IMDB/TMDB ID
- Run in interactive mode to choose art from a list of URLs
- Force the script to use a specific IMDB/TMDB ID for the scrape
- Will not overwrite existing nfo and art files by default
- Download extra fanart
- Recursively process files and folders
