Hi all,
I really like how MP is more and more moving towards an online based system.
There are a lot of plugins using online content, I got a lot of 'em running and can't go without any of them anymore (My Trailers, Showtimes etc).
The pulling of content is great but I'd like a bit more serving As I use my HTPC as a combination of server and client (web and mp, running 24/7) it's an ideal situation for me.
Since I run a PHP on my HTPC and coming across a great thread here explaining how to access the sqlite databases through PHP, I already have the environment to expose more to the web.
As some of you might have seen/noticed I already played with this whole idea a bit creating a readout for moving pictures database and tv series db. However there's no limit to what can be exposed! Parsing of xml is not that hard either through PHP so editing all kinds of settings within MP is easy. Possibilities are endless.
Please post your ideas about all this; exposing mp content to the web.
If you're as enthioustic as me and wanting to help out, PM me. I can already give you some pointers and tips to go about PHP wise.
I know some people might disagree on this tactic as the install of it all will never be user friendly, however I'm not targeting that audience. As I see it now it would be either PHP or DotNet based.
