README.md

the providers

to make this as clear as possible, here is some extra information on how the interal system works regarding providers.

Term explanation
Media Object containing information about a piece of media. like title and its id's
PortableMedia Object with just the identifiers of a piece of media. used for transport and saving
MediaStream Object with a stream url in it. use it to view a piece of media.
Provider group of methods to generate media and mediastreams from a source. aliased as scraper

All types are prefixed with MW (MovieWeb) to prevent clashing names.

Some rules

  1. Never remove a provider completely if it's been in use before. just disable it.
  2. Never change the ID of a provider if it's been in use before.
  3. Never change system of the media ID of a provider without making it backwards compatible

All these rules are because PortableMedia objects need to stay functional. because:

  • It's used for routing, links would stop working
  • It's used for storage, continue watching and bookmarks would stop working

The list of providers and their quirks

Some providers have quirks, stuff they do differently than other providers
