        @rowjoo The naming convention of the built in scraper is crap. Eg it won't find Megaman but it will find Mega man. Choose input and type in a few different variations of the name.

            @rowjoo Universal xml scraper. It uses a pc to scrape then automatically transfers the info to the Pi.
