Idea: what about including catalog support?

Can we have catalog support with this filebot?
I use following utility to create my own catalog.
http://smoviecat.sourceforge.net/#about

This could be best additional feature for filebot.

I prefer the above utility approach because we can use it from any external device or NAS since, it is platform independent like filebot.

That could easily be implemented as external script.


1.
Create a CSV file (e.g. Spreadsheet) for all your files:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p53


2.
Create XML nfo files for all your movies, which is not much different from creating HTML files for all your movies:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p205

Yeah, externally handling two utilities bit difficult. Since filebot have an option to download artworks. We can re-use that to show a nice HTML page.

This will avoid another dependency and easy to use application for beginner like me. (Actually i don't know how to create HTML pages)

If there was a designer or web developer willing to help and come up with a static HTML prototype, then I'd be willing to write scripts that would dynamically generate such HTML pages for all files. This seems like a feature were some community involvement would be best to come up with a good solution.

Can we re use that open source simple movie catalog files here?

[rednoah]

Yes, kinda, but it doesn't look modern at all. I'd expect better templates that I myself consider well-done before I'd write a script to generate them dynamically.

Agree. How we can look for a HTML dev here? Can we put notice in forum ?

[mailus]

Any one willing to do this ?
