Need Help with Scraping
Hey, have read your well-structured documentation on web scraping.
I am a JavaScript developer who uses axios and cheerio to web scrape (They work just like (jsoup in Kotlin)
I have a hard time extracting video in movies sites like sflix.to or zoro.to and I was asking if you make try to make me understand how it's done.
I have seen the source code of CloudStream but I don't know Kotlin so I have a hard time understanding what the code does and how to follow the execution of the program.
I have tried researching on this but to no avail so your assistance will high be appreciated.
Regards.
What part of it is hard to understand?
Currently they don't use polling in sflix so that can be safely ignored.
Zoro uses polling, but I don't think our code works :shrug:
Either way try to replicate this for polling in zoro, our code is pretty shit. They basically run a websocket in the background while streaming to ensure it's viewed on their site.
