Data Sources

[eby]

Potential Datasources

• Amazon (ISBN and UPC) - TOS constantly changes
• Netflix (UPC) - TOS constantly changes
• Content Cafe (ISBN and I think UPC now)
• Syndetics (ISBN and I think UPC now)
• OpenLibrary (ISBN)
• LibraryThing (ISBN)
• Rotten Tomatoes (UPC) - includes posters
• Rovi (UPC)
• TMDb - http://api.themoviedb.org/

Questions

• Should we be passing media types and have the config definitions include which are enabled and for what media types. Some of these have no A/V so would be hitting for no reason when UPC, etc
• Some have daily limits (librarything, etc). Should we be keeping an increment, move sources down list based on limits?

It would be nice if we could rank them in order of preference, so that you can try the sources with better quality images first.

Also, do we want to think about TOR support?

We can standardize on URL and presume an admin interface would pass it?

TOR for distribution or gathering?

[jblyberg]

Gathering, though, distributing might be interesting if someone wanted to run a rogue cover image server :)

[eby]

Probably not much benefit since most are key based. If there is a good one that isn't we can work on that or distributed workers
