Intro:
This script is designed to help you find movie listings and showtimes
for theaters in your area (with built-in support for US zip codes).
Based on information from websites like MovieTickets.com, XMovieGuide will
not only display movie showtimes, but additional information such as plot
synopsis, rating, and running time.I've recently separated the website parsing functionality out of the main XMovieGuide script. The download package now includes the additional script MGSource_MovieTickets, which handles parsing of MovieTickets.com. Users can develop additional MGSource files to allow movie information from other websites. If you've developed a new MGSource file and would like to share it with others in the default XMovieGuide package, please contact me at the email address on my front page, with the words "MovieGuide Source" in the subject of the email.
Huge thanks to Poolem from the XBMC Forums, who added Plot Synopsis as well as redesigning the background skin and repairing the Search By Movie Title function. His work has been a major contribution to updating what was already a popular script. Send him a word of thanks if you ever see him around.
Installation Instructions:
In order for XMovieGuide to run properly, simply copy the files contained in the .rar package below into an "XMovieGuide" subfolder of your XBMC installation's "scripts" folder. These will need to include "XMovieGuide.py", "MGSource_MovieTickets.py", and the entire "Images" subfolder. To run XMovieGuide, open XBMC's script launcher and select it. Then use the menu option "Change Location Settings" to configure the script for your area.
