Delphi API implementation

Hi,
I am writing a "TheMovieDB" meta-data scraper plug-in for Zoom Player (still in progress) . The plug-in is built on top of a new (partial) Delphi 7 implementation of "TheMovieDB" API and will be released under the MPL 2 open-source license.
If anyone is interested in commenting on the code or API features, please reply. I'll have the code up soon, I still need to clean it up a bit :)

I've already created my own library for Delphi to read the metadata information for my "Movie Manager" program.
My library works well with all versions of Delphi from "XE2" to "Seattle 10", but is unfortunately Read-Only, as I have not yet considered the ability to submit or edit existing movie metadata information, seeing as that function goes beyond the primary features of "Movie Manager".
The worst part of it was including support for the Movie Posters and all the ISO 639.1 Languages that you may encounter. So you may want to give those functions special care to ensure they work correctly. And do yourself a favor - do plenty of in-house beta testing to ensure you own library provides the correct results.
If you're having some trouble with some parts of your code, I'd be more than willing to take a look at it...

Hi Peter, The API implementation I'm writing will also be limited in scope to read-only. Right now I'm not scraping for non-english versions of posters, perhaps at a later date.
What project did you write the Delphi implementation for?

Hello,
I'm now trying to consume the api from delphi... Anyone can help me or send me some code examples?
Thank you.
