I have finished creating a new plugin I called "MyDVDs".

I happen to have a DVD mega changer with approx. 200 DVDs loaded in it which I have cataloged the contents using Ant Movie Catalog. I did this because the built-in catalog function of the changer is lousy (other descriptive words come to mind too, like useless...).

I have then use the export function within Ant to create an 'xml' type structured file (template is included in the 'Setup' dialog).

I import this file into a new SQL database in MP and then view/filter the database in MP. I can filter the list by Year and Genre (Actors later); View DVD details such as Cast, Plot and Reviews along with cover Jacket images.

Now, I use MP as the heart of my HT - when I want to watch a movie in the mega changer, I look for a movie in myDVDs - get the 'slot' number where the movie is loaded and then use NetRemote/Girder to start the movie (independent of MP right now - I am thinking of a MP-NetRemote Plugin next).

I would like to make this available to everyone, but do not know how to post the code on this site - can I send the files to someone to upload?
