Who wants a website of his moviedatabase? (1 Viewer)

[fish12345]

Hi,

I just wrote a litte webpage in PHP to generate a kind of dynamic website which shows all my movies in the database. It uses the data and pictures which movingpictures has stored.

In my environment there is a 24/7 file-/webserver. A tiny task copies the picutres and database from my htpc to this server but it would also be possible to install the webserver (e.g. apache) on the htpc itself. The disadvantage is that the webinterface is only available if your htpc is powered on.

I started this thread to get an idea if there are more than just one or two users who "wants" to have this webinterface. I would try to provide a simple setup if there is enough feedback.

The following video trys to show you the features and look of the webinterface. Of course there is still a lot of work to do but I think it's not bad. At the moment it is only available in german but i would provide a multilingual version if many users wants to have it.
Enjoy the video

Best regards,
fish

This looks amazing. I know that there is already another "project" doing something similar, but I am not sure how far along that is. I can't find the thread right now.

I would love something like this. It looks great. Just a question. Does this require that you can host this yourself or would it be possible to upload all of this to a hosting service running php, incase someone doesn't have the possibility to host themself? I am able to host myself, I was just wondering.

I use it in an local environment but I could also think about a modification which is able to upload the pictures and database-information to a webhoster.

I also have a linux server running h24 and will be interested in such a script...

Just want to say Fish, what you are working on looks very interesting. The Moving Pictures Social announcement was really meant to create awareness so duplicate effort was not wasted on similar services to Moving Pictures Social. We are still quite a ways from launch, but we have seen more than a few projects like what you are working on. So we really wanted to hopefully funnel efforts like yours into an official product like Moving Pictures Social.

So Fish, if you want to continue to work on your stand alone product we fully support that. But if you are interested in helping out with Moving Pictures Social, we would welcome your work with open arms.

Are you accessing the sqlight db via php ? If so you need to compile sqlight support into php when using a LAMP server or install an extra plugin when using WAMP. I also wrote a PHP-script for displaying my movie list but I use MySQL where I put the data manually. Just interested on how you plan to distribute your script for people who don't know how to enable sqlight in php, like xampp users.

Hi,

nice to see some people who are interessted in my script.
At first I want to say a few words about MovingPictures Social: I really like the announced keyfeatures of it - I also thought about something like that when I wrote my script but there were some points where I did not found a good solution and so I did not followed an idea like that anymore. E.g. I really like it to have more or less individual pictures/covers for some movies and I want those pictures (not some general pics) on my web-movielist. But individual pictures for every movie and every user needs a lot of diskspace which I can not offer on my root server.

Unfortunatly I do not have that much time at the moment so I probably wouldn't be a huge help for a project like MovingPictures Social.

Nevertheless I want to "pimp" my php-script a little bit so it is easy to use for most of us. Let me introduce you what I am planning:

• Little program written in C# syncs the SQLite-database to an MySQL-DB (I did this in PHP and it is quite easy and fast but I've never done something with C# so it may take some time
• Picture uploader which supports ftp and sftp (it should also be able to compress the pictures for the web)

In an environment like that you would be able to just have an apache and mysql-server on your htpc to provide the website if your htpc is on. Or you would be able to have a webserver somewhere in the internet or your lan. It only requires mysql, php and ftp which should be on nearly every webserver.

I think it will take some time until I can release an early alpha for the brave pioneers. I hope that you can test the first parts in two weeks or something.

Great regards,
fish
