Spiders & Skins

[greyjackal]

Note : this isn't anything to do with the recent (ish) change in spiders - I have downloaded and used Steven's replacement spider files.

Am I missing something or is it rare to have implemented spidering "properly" in skins yet - they just get covers. I have to go into the database itself to then pull film info from imdb (for example) as the "in-skin" spidering seems to try and get everything from one place. And IMDB doesn't have covers

The skins I've used recently have been the new "default" one (aka Simplicity) and Rubbah's skin. I can't recall how it "worked" in baddabing's Heavy Metal though as that was a while ago.

Additionally, via the database, I'm getting multiple synopses if I use IMDB as well.

there are two commands:
one for saving covers
and one for saving info.
This is done by my request because we usually get the covers from amazon and info from imdb.
