Few questions off the bat =]
Is that vudu at the top?
Gorgeous UI on that system
Are you planning on writing in Python like the other plug ins? Either way, do you have anything written out yet, or is this still a twinkle in your eye
As far as I can tell, this is aimed towards films? I only say that because you mention imdb and movie posters
A majority of people have 4gigs or less on their tablet, so assuming that the rip is around the average 400-700 megs, there wont be more than a couple (if any) on any given persons tablet.
seems like alot of work for little result
I would recommend making it more aimed at television shows
the reason im making this distinction, as opposed to just using one plugin for movie and tv is three fold
1 - the aspect ratio on movie posters makes any screen cap from a tv show fugley as hell
2 - imdb has piss poor episode guides for tv
3 - The pertinent information seen in guides for television episodes and for movies is usually alot different (much longer plot synopsis, and air date for the former, cast runtime, director and shorter description for the later) and therefore one template prolly would work for both
Instead, Id use rage tv as a site to scrape info from, have a screen capture utility instead of movie posters ( i believe this is already implemented in canola tuning)
Itd be alot easier to develop, as you could practically rip off the cover views page (ratio is near 4:3, if not the same. im tired and don't really know)
I mean, you could eventually add the ability for canola to make a distinction (separate folders?) between films and television, but im not sure what a scroll between movie posters and screen caps would look like
thats my inital input, id love to discuss it further though
ps @ harpglass - im not sure i understand what you mean...a catalog of the dvds you own without connection to a desktop/server?
like...a graphical list
im not sure I see why someone would want that
If you could explain its advantage id be very appreciative
