Question  Export XBMC video and music databases to HTML index files with images, etc.? Post: #1
Is there a html template or similar out there that is able to read the xbmc database?
I would like a fine list I could host on my webpage, preferably with thumbs and movie details.
Movie Collector from collectorz.com can export its database to html (example) and I like the layout.
This program is not free Sad and I know xbmc scrapes better info then movie collector.
So is there anything out there that is able to make a similar database export to html from the xbmc library?

You can export the library to xml and then write a script to parse the xml and convert it into this.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Writing scripts is not my strong side Smile
Thats why I ask if there is anything out there that will do the job for me?
An existing script or program.

I was looking for the exact same thing today. I made a very, very basic html listing using thisxls file and xsltproc. It just lists the title and year of each movie with a hyperlink to moviedb.org.

If you want to avoid parsing xml or querying sql you also have the option to call jsonrpc (this is what the webinterface is using to produce the information)

If you have problems please read this before posting
