Movie / Video Information (1 Viewer)

[yogiman_uk]

Hi Everyone

Before anyone shouts at me I have looked at the features of my video's my films, my movies...... etc.

However I find various issues with all of these that don't suite. either information is missing "this happens a lot" or it's handled in a way that makes little sense to me.

What I want is the ability to display information + thumb nail of the movie or other film/program in my database.

At present I have a media server which has around 2.4 terrabytes of movies / documentaries etc on it.

I have catagorised the movies :-

Horror
Thriller

etc... and each film is in it's own folder. Also in each folder is a scan of the DVD cover in very high quality.

Thus if I browse to that catagory, i.e Horror I get a thumbnail of each movie.

What I would really like is to also drop a formatted text file into each folder containing the information about he movie, director, writer, producer, cast, review etc.

Is this possible if so, what do i call the .txt file? If it's not possible is anyone working on this?

I know there are other film management / database tools available but most do not cater for the information I want...

Any help would be really great.

Thanks


Yogiman!

I have thought of this to..

Fore example if you got a movie server with 2.4 terrabytes movies like yogiman_uk and you got 3 client..
each of them should download these information from imdb.

Why not make some xml file with these informations and out them into the folders, and then use them for a start, and then you can always update later...

Then you just have to download them 1 time, and you don't have to download then each time you reinstall MP
