Metadata Agent from XBMC plugin

Is there anyway to add metadata information for Indian movies? There is a website that provides such metadata information and it is currently in use by XBMC. Yamsonline provides metadata information for Hindi, tamil, telugu and malayalam movies. A lot of users will benefit from this. Is there anyway to convert the xml files below to a metadata agent for plex?



Link is here,

It’s absolutely possible with a basic knowledge of Python programming! The resulting agent will be cleaner, easier to maintain, and more powerful than the old scraper. The hardest part is basically decoding the gibberish regular expressions encoded in XML :slight_smile:



So how do I get started? Do I need to learn python? One of friends knows python. Do we need to know anything about how plex handles this info?

it helps to learn python. There is also a great beginner’s walkthrough here http://blah.thingsinjars.com/post/297/writing-a-plex-plugin-part-i/. Chekc out this thread: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/14945-plugin-tutorial/. Look at these docs: http://dev.plexapp.com/docs/
