How to display dvd spider information

by **edgley** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 1:33 am

hello,

I have tried:

category>spider>director
category>spider>directors
category>spider>actor
category>spider>actors

but can not get anything other than a cover to display.

thanks

Not 100% sure but i think the spider function via a skin is limited to coverart only right now..

As far as I have tried you cannot access the fields separately.
All the data is kept in category>spider>info
and cover is kept in category>spider>cover
There are two commands
spider save which saves only the coverart
and spider save info which saves all the other data but coverart.
This is done so that you can get movie information from one source (imdb) and coverart from other (amazon)
