LibTvdb - A small library to fetch TV series information from the thetvdb.com web service.

LibTvdb is a Qt-based library which provides asyncronous access to TV series information from thetvdb.com via a very simple interface.

Usage is straight-forward. Create an instance of Tvdb::Client, connect to the necessary signals, and use Tvdb::Client::getSeriesByName() or Tvdb::Client::getSeriesById() methods to fetch the information:

 Tvdb::Client* client = new Tvdb::Client();
 connect(client, SIGNAL(finished(Tvdb::Series)),
         SLOT(myFinishedSlot(Tvdb::Series)));
 connect(client, SIGNAL(multipleResultsFound(QList<Tvdb::Series>)),
         SLOT(myMultipleResultsSlot(QList<Tvdb::Series>)));
 client->getSeriesByName( "Lost" );

Then in the slot connected to the Tvdb::Client::multipleResultsFound() signal decide which series you meant (typically by asking the user) and then call Tvdb::Client::getSeriesById() to fetch all details on the series:

 void myMultipleResultsSlot(const QList<Tvdb::Client::Series>& series)
 {
     int i = askUserWhichSeriesToUse(series);
     client->getSeriesById(series[i].id());
 }
