Database files as XML

2004-11-27, 17:24

A feature i would love, is that any database files are in XML like the main configuration file. That will make it more easy to manually make new Radio stations, tv stations e.g. without using the main configuration tool. The great about this will be better remote adminstration. You can control the Radio and tv just with a netshare and then restart the box.. instread of finding your old keyboard and mouse and plug it to the box. I know there is posibles with Remote Desktop and such. But this is in my mind more easy.

Maybe someone else wanted this..

Alot of the configuration features will be in the MP GUI in time so in the future adding channels / stations etc can be done by your remote control without requiring reboots or editing files manually.

fiskerendk, I agree with your suggestion. Especially for first installation. Even it would make things easier to share configurationfiles for TV and Radio in a city or region with others.

Instead making database files as XML, a utility to export and import data as a xml file could be better. That way we can distribute data.

XML is not a efficient way of store data that is queried on runtime.

Exactly! A standard XML format should be done for importing/exporting data, but please let's not spoil the performance of a SQL engine!!

Besides that the XML-format is a great idea!
