I’ve found some libraries for PHP that will fetch the HTML from Microsoft’s site, and parse it into some meaningful variables. On my hosted site I’ve managed to replicate the standard HTML that is generated from the Microsoft site, but with images local to my server, which makes it faster. Currently I’m messing around with image creation from the information, and I’ve got a image that also looks similar to the Microsoft version. So it’s all good from that point of view.

This all leads to the next step – creation of a WordPress plugin. I’ve got the working skeleton for that, and now I need to plug in all the new wonderful code I’ve written into it to make it work. Will attempt that this weekend I think.

After that, I’ll probably tackle some other things that WordPress plugins don’t have, in particular the one for a Movie watch list. Will have to think about that one a bit.
