Feature Request: Remote Database and/or Movie List Export (2 Viewers)

[shackrock]

awesome just set this up on my server/htpc. Thanks a lot, never really thought of this. Also my first experience with the php sqlite combination. Use php a lot but mostly mysql based
again!

You should try this out:
movingpicturesxml - Google Code

I made a process plugin that exports to an xml.

Wait, so what exactly does this do? Any different from what we've already done with the database + your php code?

It is a lot better (imo) than the php code, and it will automatically ftp it to an ftp server if you set it up to do so. The plugin will also compensate for changes in the DB by automatically removing missing columns from the query strings.

All that woud be needed to list your movies would be a simple php script using simple_xml and xpath. (which is a lot cleaner, also imo).

Agreed, but the HTPC I run MP on was primarily set up as a server, so MP is not always running fro me, so the php script makes more sense. The server IS always on, MP just isn't

I'm improving on looks, overall data availability and some stuff that makes it kinda automagic

-------------

Oh wait, now I get it. Of course you just upload a static xml to some server, the server reads that and throws out your page.
What I'm doing now is up to date to the second lol

so how do i put this output file and access it on my site?

 

[LRFalk01]

I have made a change to the MovingPicturesXML plugin to be able to transform the XML output before it saves / sends the file via XSL.

Download can be found here:
movingpicturesxml - Google Code

Hey LRF. I've set this up correctly I am sure - but I can't get it to export to a file (be it on my HDD or to my FTP). Any ideas here? It is definately enabled in the MP config.
