Hi,
my goal in some words:
- exporting movie info from xbmc video.db to xml file
- getting thumb/cover file, process thumbs as deep zoom image
- create a collection for Silverlight Pivot Viewer (see this example using HTML5 instead of SL: http://pivot.lobsterpot.com.au/html5.htm)
- browsing movies by different criteria (show unseen items, with good rating and genre comedy..)
(yeah I know I can achieve this within xbmc, but it's not that pretty, less comfortable and not accessible to my friends "publicly")
The database structure itself is not that hard to understand even without using the wiki, but extracting the right thumb is giving me a hard time. I know movie.c08 contains some URLs to the moviecover thumbs, where each URL should be found in textures db. There I can find "cachedurl" which points me to the local jpg file.
Problems:
- only a few URLs parsed from field movie.c08 are found in textures db/table
- most of the jpg files found are thumbs in the wrong language (spanish and so on instead of germn or at least english)
Any idea how to get the correct thumb using xbmc .db files?
Thanks a lot!
