I still don't see the connection with Coollector

The idea was to use the exported data files from coollector as the data source for the web app.

That's what I thought, but I fail to see how it's worth all your hard work. Isn't it easier to just use Coollector ? Or XBMC ? Why do you need a web interface ? Are you trying to access your files from the internet when you're not home ? Or to give access to your friends ?

I use XBMC sometimes.


Not that much work...


My home network has quite a few pc's operating on it.

Well, all your PCs could have Coollector installed, and your coollection file could be shared on the network.

Anyway, I will improve the export feature soon, and you'll do whatever you want with it

Sorry but i cant leave without first defending JSON.


When Coollector generates a json file it in essence declares a javascript array containing all the relevant information. All that is really necessary to display the information is to simply assign the values in the array to a HTML object ( in this case <div id="movies"></div> ).


The 2 lines of code above (3 if you count the for loop separately) will create all the necessary HTML objects and fill them with the relevant information.



The resulting HTML template is only 1.5kb in size and already contains styling information and the four required lines of JavaScript.

When ? Never

Sorry, I'm not convinced

Don't even try, my heart is a rock.

Can be done with JSON too. It's actually pretty easy...



Plus there's all the 'little' things that are easily done with the values in a JavaScript array. e.g. changing title color to yellow if the movie is owned etc.

Ok, ok, ok.

The future export feature will handle XML and json.

the defense rests.
