Re: [E-devel] etvdb, EFL based TVDB library
Hi, Nice job for that, but as cedric already said you should use Ecore_Con_Url. You can take a look in Enna we have a working scrapper for TheTVDB: https://github.com/enna-project/Enna-Media-Server/blob/master/src/modules/thetvdb/ems_grabber_thetvdb.cpp Le 12.04.2013 02:03, thomasg a écrit : Hi everyone, As there's a clear lack of EFL based libraries :P I've written one for the TheTVDB.com[1] API.

[E-devel] etvdb, EFL based TVDB library

I'd be very happy for any constructive feedback and any contribution, but be kind. :) I just did a quick review of it. I would recommend you to move to use Ecore_Con_Url for just one good reason it will force you to redesign your library with an asynchronous API. Right now, you will have blocking call for any of those network request. You also can't cancel them. I know you can trigger them in a thread, but for such a low bandwidth things it is not really useful and will add some overhead (You will still have the issue of how to cancel them). Also I think that eina xml support partial parsing, so you can parse data as you receive them and will have the result ready as soon as the last packet come in.
