A data source for searching DVDFr.com has been added to Tellico. DVDFr is a French movie site with a nice XML API for performing queries, which made adding the code very simple.

Sites with existing APIs are easy to add as data sources, and I added DVDFr a day after I came across it. If anyone is aware of sites with APIs which are not currently supported in Tellico, please let me know.

Two additional data sources have been added to Tellico. Freebase is a generalized database of just about any structured data anyone can add. Tellico can search Freebase for books, comic books, movies, music, video games, and board games. Open Library is a online book database that aims to have one page for every book ever published.

Both sites return data in the JSON format, so the QJson library is required when compiling. These data sources will be available in Tellico 2.3.

Tellico comes with interfaces for searching a number of data sources, most of which are listed below. Not all of them are enabled by default since they might require registration. In Tellico's settings, select the Data Sources page and add or modify your specific sources there.

Two new data sources have been added to Tellico. MusicBrainz provides data about music and TheMovieDB provides movie information.

Wine.com recently made available an interface for searching their wine database. As you can see from the screenshot, Tellico will support searching Wine.com in the next release.

Amazon.com has changed their data API to require that all searches be signed with a secret key, unique to each user. Tellico 2.0 for KDE4 supports the new method. However, most older versions (i.e. all versions of Tellico prior to 1.3.6) do not.

A quick backport of the fix was made for Tellico 1.3.6 for KDE3. Most distributions probably won't package it, since they've moved on to KDE4. Find it on the Download Page.
