Title: MC 11 library of DVD's ?
Post by: Jaqqe on October 28, 2004, 02:10:40 am

Is it possible / has anyone made a library of DVD-movies in their MC ? I don't have any idea of how I should start building such a library. There's no need to be able to play DVD's on the computer, I just want to get rid of my Excel-sheet with the specs of my movies.

Same here! I've always wondered if anyone's been able to setup a flashy visual thing for their DVD lib.

I'd love the same system to show my library of "DVDs" on and to be played from my hard drive.

Same for me, it would be nice.
I would love to see the pictures "folder.jpg" from all my movies been imported in MC the same way it is imported with my music.
Why is it working with the music and not the movies???

I would like to see this but there is a bit more to it than meets the eye (I think.) One of the main problems I have is that every CD or DVD I put into my PC while MC11 is running is stored under
'CD & DVD'. This is messy and means that even a movie I rent ends up in the list.

Another problem is that the DVD is shown as a number of Titles under one particular Volume.

And one last issue (for me at least) is that the 'CD & DVD'  database is not available in Theatre View.

Here is a link to my own personal feature requests that would fix all these issues:

Would be really great to hear if there are any plans or such at jriver about this DVD-feature...

I'm trying to use tile view with my movies. I think it would be great if tiles were made more user configurable. For example: is there a way to set height of the tile or is it locked to that 130 pixels like in default template. I tried to increase it just to find out that the tile didn't get more height but only the html inside it.

As long as were on the subject...how about VHS tapes? Any easy way of doing that? I've got a gazillion laying around here not knowing where anything is.

Lunchmeatvoom made this recommendation in a post now split to a new thread on MC11 Instabilities:

If you want to catalog your DVD collection, try this:

I use it to keep track of my 370 DVD collection.
