Title: DVD/Bluray IDs on TMDB
Post by: stottle on October 23, 2011, 10:13:55 am

I know you guys added TMDB lookups.  I believe the API was added in while Travis Bell (the main guy behind TMDB was AWOL).  He has returned, and been active in requests to update the site.

If you haven't seen it, one of the api features that was disabled was to use the dvd or blu-ray disc ID to support lookups.  Great feature, but leads to a chicken and egg problem, where do you get the IDs to populate in the database in the first place.

A recent comment from Travis:
"Hey guys,

Ticket #8 deals with fixing Media.getInfo. I will fix it but something to mention is it would be really nice if we had 1 larger application on board to use this. The problem with it all along was that hardly anyone was using it. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not an excuse to not have it work but prioritizing it because of this was hard."

That is from the 7th post in this thread (http://help.themoviedb.org/discussions/problems/1-discuss-future-api-changes).

Seems like a great fit for you guys, at least to me.  What do you think?

Thanks.  I've just replied there.
