Add an option for CSV

[kbostick88]

Can you add an option to add a CSV option. If we had a list of movies/shows in a CSV file, allow that file to be used to create the collection

Second for this. This would provide a huge increase in functionality. Provide a template and we can dump lists out of any multitude of sources (icheckmovies, etc).

I'm a bit hesitant to introduce CSVs on top of the YAML?

You should be able to accomplish this with the individual TMDb movie or TMDb show or TVDB show. Something like:

collections:
  - My Random Collection:
    - tmdb_movie:
      - id#1
      - id#2
      - id#3

The list of IDs could be infinitely long, you'd just have to reformat from whatever source. Not sure if that makes sense?

That makes sense but would be very complicated to automate. If it accepted a csv file you could pull collections from a site/source that is constantly updated to maintain the collection. For example a collection for movies on Netflix, these would not all be from the studio netflix. Many sites list all the movies/shows on netflix and create a csv list of them.. it would be a ton of work to try and change the format and automate that process unless i am missing something

Can you provide a link to a csv that's constantly updated and then maybe it and more like it could be added but we'd need an example
