XBMC Database Web View
#1
Is there any package that attempts to give you a web view of your XMBC database?

Here's what I'm thinking. I have my XMBC machines connected to a MySQL database that stores all my media info. It would be great if there was some PHP or Python or whatever language app that ran completely separate of XMBC (something that I could run on my headless server that has the MySQL database on it) that I could use to check what shows and movies I already have loaded into my computer.

I've tried doing a little searching and haven't really found anything. Does anyone know if this exists? Would there be interest in something like this if I started creating it?

Thanks,
Tom

Yeah i'd be very interested. I think many people would be, if it were to just be released.

A list of the DB, one for Movies, one for TvShows. I guess it would be best to just code it in php, and have a simplified settings file where you can enter your database IP, name, user / pass etc.

I have no idea how to code PHP, but seeing at the MySQL, it shouldn't be that much of a hassle for someone who actually knows it Wink

# (movie(idMovie)) | Movie Name (movie(c00)) | Year (movie(c07) | IMDB rating (movie(c05) | etc. etc.

I'd really appreciate it, if you are interesten in starting a project. I could help you out with maybe some design tips, and moral support Wink

How about you export a .sql dump and upload it and we'll see who is interested!

XWMM does all that, but it runs from within XBMC.

I dont see a point in having it separate from xbmc.

here is the link to the forum post for this Addon: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=60643

And with XWMM you can edit your database entries, change your covers, fanart etc.

Running it outside of XBMC would be nice so that you could connect to it from anywhere and see what movies/tv shows/etc you have. Then you could show your family members, or send them a link to it, and they could say "hey, you have that movie? I want to come over and watch that!" Smile

In that case, check out ShareThe.TV (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=86430).

Currently it only lists the movies in your database, but there are plans to add support for TV Shows at some point.

You can setup your XBMC's webserver to be accessible over the WAN, even put a username and password to protect it if you need to.

I actually started working on something that would provide this kind of functionality. This is VB.Net Project. So far I was able to connect to MySQL and pull the movie data. This is relational database, so I have to understand better how it works. However your ideas will be much appreciated.

There is a perfectly good reason for this kind of app. Recently I have setup MySQL databases for XBMC and imported some folders, than I wanted to delete over 400 movies and setup separated profile, but there was no easy way of doing it, except for deleting MySQL database and redoing the whole setup.

maybe we'll get a headless XBMC, which would be perfect:

there's another thread but i think this one is dead:

And finally to browse your lib:

Interesting projects, but that's not what I want to do. I would like to be able to edit, add, delete, batch update, filter, search etc metadata in MySQL xbmc database
