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
- Never remove a provider completely if it's been in use before. just disable it.
- Never change the ID of a provider if it's been in use before.
- 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
