Universal Media Companion, (a unified media manager), who wants to help code this?

Has anyone looked at MetaX for ideas on the GUI? It's been around for awhile on the Mac and more recently for Windows and I think it does a pretty good job providing an interface, both automatic and manual, to tagging both movies and TV shows for iTunes. Granted, I have a love/hate relationship when actually using the tool (can crash here and there) but as far as the interface goes, I like it. Just a thought

Free to download, use and get ideas from:

Windows: http://www.danhinsley.com/MetaX.htm

This is really exciting. Im a PHP/VB.Net developer and I've been experimenting with my own media manager application these last few weeks, getting RegEx to be intuitive and smart and downloading best guess artwork without interaction, similar to Yammm, only TV support that knows what a .rar and .001 file means in relation to other file in the same folder.

Yammm is a Media Manager available here: http://mikinhosoft.blogspot.com/

I'd like to join the team. If you'd like to use my services im here to help. Intermediate PHP/MySQL skills, VB.Net and creative flair with graphics.

I believe that with the PVR project, this is the one i'm most interested in atm.
Are thre any updates, any decisions reached concerning UI programming language, DB?
Since the main action is happening in a private forum, I feel a bit... forlorn

Hey guys, just wondering if there is any update to this project yet?

Cheers,

Hey everyone,

I don't know if there has been any progress, but would you please consider the following.

Tagging of the following media:
-Movies
-Tv Shows
-Music videos
-Music
-Games (this should also work for vista's and win7's Games section)
-Adult movie/video
-Homevideo /Short clips

Support for Aeon's (and possibly other skins) advanced views.

There are no significant updates to report. The project is still in a very early stage, when there is some news to report we'll be sure to let you know.

All of those are on the project's radar. How many of them end up in an initial release (which is some time off) remains to be seen.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah i did not expect all of that to be in the initial release (just that the framework be ready to support them all)

Fekker just posted an update in the MIP thread stating that he should be back in a week or two, and that he would be taking a run at this program at that time.

seeing as his manager is probably the most used around, it feels only natural. but has anything been decided at all, concerning db support, platform support? Lots of people are reinventing the wheel when the only changes needed should be cosmetic.
Maybe skinners should post the detailed media structure required to take full advantage of their skins somewhere in their own subforums; so the UMM can be more than these Aeon-centric MMs we see around.
