A very special thanks to the maintainer of the TVDB and its content contributors that make this scraper possible. Feel free to donate to it because servers don't pay for themselves. :D ##Simple ThumbnailerSimple.lua is a simpler scraper that only relies on Lua Socket and is not resilient to changes, but depends on much fewer libraries. ###Dependencies
- Lua Sockets
###How to use:
- Go to http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=showname to get the series id of the show. Replacing showname with the name of the series you want.
- Go to http://thetvdb.com/api/6A2C4EF987BDF26B/series/seriesID/all/en.zip to get zip containing a bunch of info about the series. Replacing seriesID with the id you got in the previous step.
- Extract the en.xml file and pass its location to the Lua script.
- Watch as it downloads all the thumbnails for the series and be happy you don't have to do it manually.
Please don't abuse the public API token.
