Feature idea, m3u play lists support.

[LiamKarlMitchell]

It would be cool to have a playlists feature where media can be referenced relative to the paths they are with one of these files.

I have some shows in chronological order rather than production order wonder if other people do too?

Could also possibly pull in images of the cases for each of the dvds from the set and movies. Or let you scan/take photo your own images if it cant find them on the net.

That would be a great feature indeed and a logical one for music, but I wonder if people would often require this for tv shows and movies.

in addition, the custom covers are a great idea as well. I think the items presented on the screen should be editable from the frontend. Would you agree?

[LiamKarlMitchell]

Yes, I was thinking of using it for Babylon 5 my self, the case graphics are awesome. And I would like to be able to stream my collection whilst keeping original in a safe dry place :).

I think playlists have merit in both music and tv shows, and it could load both m3u or xpi playlists as well as our own json format?

Possibly not often require it if we had a directory view?

Hej @LiamKarlMitchell, a bit off topic but: I just pushed a still very crude inplementation of editable music albums. If you hover over an album a little edit icon will appear and once clicked, it will show a mini form to edit basic stuff. You can add your own cover as a link (to an image on the internet from dropbox or google etc). Its still very basic and still experimental, but once ive tested and finalised it thoughly and tweaked the scraper so your editing wont be overwritten, I will add this feature to tv and movies as well.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again Jan

Oh no way, that's awesome I will check it out later tonight.

Thanks :D

Its running much better with the 16 commits I had missed this week.

I was able to change the album art image used.

For editing I would suggest a pop out modal eventually. Similar to how google docs does it when you want to edit sharing permissions of a document.

I have some other bugs and issues I noticed ill have to check on trello and other open issues before posting as requested I guess :D.

Cheers,

Hej @LiamKarlMitchell,

I moved the editing to a modal popup. I also added a preview function for the new cover and I also added this functionality to the movies app. The m3u support will be added in Trello. I must admit it will take some time to get to though. Getting the streaming more seamless has a higher priority I'm afraid.

I look forward to your input!
