Java is a pretty simple language... if you are programmer... you can learn java fairly quickly.

If you were do this in java, then it would be better integrated into bmt, and work across multiple platforms.

If you do want to learn java, and you would like to contribute a tv.com provider, then let me know, and I can help you get started... but don't feel you need to... I already have a TVDB provider, which works well... but you can never have too many providers

Thanks. I think you have it covered. I'm also wondering about legal issues when tvdb exists it seems silly to scrape from TV.com while we have such a great open community sharing to the tvdb. I would learn Java eventually, but not merely for this project since as you point out, the tvdb and your BMT has it covered.
