Attached is the latest build of International Cinemas v2 which I'm working on. I've added support for the following sources - Hoyts (NZ), Hoyts (Australia), SkyCity.

As always, comments/suggestions welcome

edit: removed attachment as has been superseeded.

Hi McBainUK, just wanted to give ya a big thumbs-up for the great plugins you've written - I've just setup the NZCinema Hoyts and it is working well. Unfortunately the big theatres are not updating their schedules on http://www.CinemaNZ.co.nz, so I'm looking forward your next updates for reading.co.nz & realto.co.nz. cheers.

Looks pretty cool, any chance to include the Netherlands ?
I'm not sure what kind of data a website must provide so you can use it for the cinema listing but perhaps http://www.filmladder.nl/ will get you the data you need.
They change the URL after selecting a city f.i Amsterdam translates as
http://amsterdam.filmladder.nl/

I would like to but having looked on the site its hard for me to find what I need due to the language (as in I only know English :o ).

If any Netherlands programmer (whatever their experiance) wants to take on the project let me know. I can send you source code and offer help. If the film info source is well laid out it only takes 1/2 hour to make a scraper for it as most of the funciallity I've already done for the UK, NZ and Aus scrapers.

What is required is a list of films and showing times at a cinema like here. And then ideally a link to details of each film like here.

Sumo: If you are interested in doing some translation services for me I could have a look at adding filmladder.nl as a source.

I don't think I'll be of any use, No programming skils whatsoever (exept from some HTML a couple of years ago)
