I have a large collection of movies/shows that have a "Mormon" bent to them.  Many are videos that either were created specifically for the LDS Church or by BYU or others.  A lot of them are not in the Movie DB or Freebase, etc.  I have, however, found them here [http://mormonlit.lib.byu.edu/index.php](http://mormonlit.lib.byu.edu/index.php "External link").  Can someone point me to instructions on how to create a scanner that would look at this DB?   I am sure I have just missed the forum post since there are a lot of scanners that look at anime or adult or blah, blah.  I can't imagine everyone is figuring it out on their own, I just need some direction.   Thanks. ---

Anyone have an update on this? The links provided in this thread previously are no longer valid. Is the Dev team planning on improving the metadata compilation by adding some new sources other than freebase or themoviedb? Both of these tend to be hit and miss alot lately. Any truth to the rumor about Freebase going down within this year? ---
