Thanks Martin. I'll look into that too. Btw, rottentomatoes.com is also a very famous site and it too has its own API. On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 5:19 PM, Martin Bednar wrote: > Le mardi 12 juin 2012 11:24:24 Srikanth S a écrit : > > Thanks for your response Sebastian. Apart from the possible probl

Fair enough Peter. But think of it this way: today everytime i connect my external hard disk to watch a movie, I can only see names. I might have searched for them before, but I've forgotten what those movies were about: their genre/rating etc. So I fire up chrome, and search again. Compared to tha

I think the general way to do this is to write a strigi analyzer. Strigi is a service running in the background indexing your files. This information is stored in Nepomuk and that is where Dolphin gets the information from. I guess that in theory the strigi analyzer could fetch data from the intern
