Hi.

I want to bulit a site with my movies list,
I DON'T want to re-scrap all my 500 movies with third-party tool wiche use IMDB or something like that, I JUST want to use xbmc database,
to make simple HTML page with Movie-title and year, maybe poster.. but title and year is the Important..

I don't know to program that, so I will thank you if you do that for me.

Look into the webserver for xbmc (already built in) - then you could save a copy.

[tomer953]

there is an option to make it auto? like a script that make XML or HTML file with movie - year ?
script that i can put on XBMC startup, and in that way my site will always be update with XBMC... and I don't want to use XBMC WEBSERVER

XWMM has an export to html list function, works well.

[tomer953]

yes, but I cant save it for some reason

[tomer953]

its a pop-up, can't save as.. and can't see the source code..

like I said, I'm searching for a script that make this table automatic to html file, and wan't to put that script on XBMC startup, then everytime I will run XBMC, I'll have new HTML file with my new movies

[tomer953]

anybody?

Well I`m not sure about using the database as a source ,as I've got all my data saved in the Dirs.
You could do this by using the export fuction in XBMC.
Then using powershell I convert the info and folder.tbn files to an xml file.
This works really fast and is easy to use.
I always keep my nfo and tbn files in the same dir as my Iso files - makes backups and reinstall a lot easier :-)
See my page - www.neugie.de/dvds/dvds.xml
All the info is taken out of the nfo files.
I don't use the export function myself - I like to manage the infos myself so I use Media Companion to scrap the info and the covers.
Just my way of doing things ;-)
If you need the the powershell script - let me know.
I did try different methods myself but find this way easier ......
All files - iso ,nfo ,tbn and jpgs stored in one location - making backup and reinstall alot easier - no more scrapping ;-)

The script I use is a Powershell script - not sure but I think it only works with Windows ??
Will post the script tomorrow as I'm not home right now :-)

Here are the two scripts I use.....
The first one builds the xml file with all the info i need out of the nfo.
I'm still only learning Powershell - been at it for 4 weeks now and still haven't got everything the way I want :-(
If there is a line break in the nfo the xml file will break there - had that on a few of my nfos. Had to remove all the line breaks in those - wasn't many thank god :-)
The second file copies all of the tbn files, renames them with the imdb id and gives them a jpg extension.
Using ImageMagick : Convert I then resize the jpgs to suit my needs.

Hope this helps .....
Using Powershell can make things a lot easier - have found lots of uses for it changing files and sorting files.
But as I said I think this only works under Windows.

P.S If someone can help me in sorting the line break problem in nfos i'd much appreciate it :-)
Any other help streamlining the code adding to it....

Sorry for my english but I've been living in Germany for the last 20 years - so it's a bit rusty ;-)

Remember you need ImageMagick to convert the tbn files.....
Only one script now plus the xsl file.....
