I'm trying to write a scraper to get movie information from the Grindhouse Database. While I like the site, this project is mainly so I can learn scraper development. Whenever I have the scraper try to scan a directory I keep getting an error about it not being able to connect to the remote server, so I'm wondering if I overlooked something.
Here is the code for grindhousedb.xml
I only have the title under details at the moment because I want to make sure I can get it to connect to the server first. After that hurdle is passed, then I'll work on the rest of the details.
The code for the addon.xml file is below:
