Feature Request - Use web GUI to modify local nfo without scraping #314

Open fumbleone opened 2 years ago

Sometimes after watching a movie, I want to go back and update the nfo genres. I don't want to have to rescrape everything when I already have the covers. I'd rather be able to edit nfo in the web GUI rather than in a notepad. GUI has advantage of simple clicking to remove genre or add from favorites.

I've dabbled with this one in the past, but I wasn't able to get it in a state I was satisfied with. I would recommend either using an external nfo/xml editor or to use JAVMovieScraper's desktop editor.

The issue with the current javinizer gui is that the data model and the editor gui don't really match up to be able to transform back and forth 1 <-> 1. This is because there are transformations that happen in the backend as the metadata gets transformed into the nfo file. Unfortunately development on the GUI is at a standstill as well due to the difficulty of the technology used.
