Movie Library (BETA)

A super simple frontend for browsing movies.

• Displays your list of movies.
• Plays your movies with whatever player you want (like VLC).
• Supports keyboard navigation (and thus remotes I assume).
• That's it. No mess. No fuss. No coconuts.

Requirements

• A browser.

Setup

• Download movieLibrary#.#.#.zip from the latest release and extract the files.
• Just open the HTML files in your browser.
• The list of movies and their attributes is pulled from a local config.js file. This file can be created manually or generated. An example file can be found here.
• To generate the config file, use configure.html and follow the instructions.
• When generating the config file, I suggest using tinyMediaManager to manage metadata and image files (v3 is free).
• To launch the player program from the browser, a custom URL protocol must be registered. Use playerScripts.html and follow the instructions.
• You can download skins for VLC if you do not like the default interface (or use a different player entirely).
• The config generator and player scripts are built for Windows (for now).
• Works best in FireFox as it handles scrolling better.
• You can specify custom filtering and sorting functions by creating a local custom.js file. An example file can be found here.
