Plugins

Plugins are Python programs that use hircine’s plugin architecture to customize or enhance the behaviour of certain parts of the application.

There are two types of plugins. Scrapers read and report metadata from arbitrary sources and Transformers may modify that metadata freely before it is shown in the Scraper interface. As such, transformers cater to the needs of a specific user (e.g. to ignore certain pieces of metadata).
