- pyre 14y ago> how do you distinguish yourself from tmdb This is a command-line program for accessing movie information (via someone else's web API), not movie database system. Asking how he/she distinguishes his/herself from TheMovieDB, is... a little odd. It would be like asking XBMC how they distinguish themselves from IMDB.
- allenwlee 14y agothanks...i barely even understood your response to be honest...i'm not a programmer but trying to learn. love rentrak--i've been talking to someone there for a while now regarding a data feed.
- pyre 14y ago> i barely even understood your response to be honest - IMDB & TMDB are collections of movie data. - XBMC (aka XBox Media Center) is a piece of software that plays videos and will grab information about those videos from IMDB or TMDB to display to the user (e.g. when you're watching a movie, it will show you a synopsis of the movie, boxart, etc grabbed from the web). - This post is just about a program that will allow you to say "I want information about a movie called A Christmas Story " and it will fetch that information from the web, and display it. The only real benefit of this, is being able to do the query/view the response from a text terminal, instead of just going to the website.
