Android Android application to create offline movie content
#1
Lightbulb 
I wrote a small android application last night to auto generate offline media files for movies in XBMC.
I have a 100+ dvds and blu-rays and wanted to add them to the movies section of XBMC. I did not want to add the movies in by hand.
My app uses a barcode scanner to scan then check google for dvd/bluray information. It then generates a movie folder and .disc movie file.
I can then copy the folder structures to my xbmc server, and the movies will then show up in the UI.

Just wondering if there would be any community interest in this, or if anyone else has attempted this

Sorry about taking so long to get back, but i come bearing gifts.
WARNING, this code is provided as-is, no guarantees!!!!!!!!

Have a look at http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-offline-content-scanner/
There is an apk, and some screen shots in the download section.
The code is also in SVN.

Enjoy.

Cheers.

Any requirements? I installed it on a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.1 and on an LG Motion LG-MS770 running Android 4.0.4 and both of them force close when you hit the scan button.
