DVDpedia: Integrating plugin data

I'm really enjoying using DVDpedia, but I would like to see one specific thing added. I would like it if the data retrieved from the plugins didn't have to be re-downloaded from the net each time it's selected.

For example, if I want to look at the "trivia" for a movie it downloads the info but doesn't seem to store it anywhere so if I look at the trivia for a different film but then want to go back to the first one then it has to download it again. Ideally, I would like to be able to store that info so that I could view it offline.

I hope this is possible!

It was left out in the hopes of keeping the database lean as some of that data, can be quite large. We will look at making a version that stores the information once all the excitement with the Tiger development has died down and we have more time.

Sounds good.

Perhaps storing the data locally could be an option in the preferences, otherwise it just downloads the data fresh each time. I doubt everyone is as fascinated with the trivia and goofs listed on IMDB.

Thanks!
