Running Coollector without internet connection
Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:44 am
Hi,
I am using Coollector and checking the network activity using Wireshark (formerly Ethereal). I successfully used your items_ archives to load the movie pic database. Besides the Items_ database of movie pics I believe the Persons_ pics database should be available also.
I like your program overall and another thing to consider would be to have an option when Ordered By dropdown is set to personal rating that the number of persons displayed for the movie can be limited. This would reduce the number of persons jpg files that need to loaded when the movie is selected.
Also consider adding a video playlist capability. One way with video files would be to copy the file to a queue based name like _00000.mp4, _00001.mp4., etc. On the DLNA player if the user starts at the _00000.mp4 file the device will go to the next one when the _00000 file is done. Same thing works when you use the > button to play on the pc using media player.
DLNA devices like TVs and Blue Ray players can select video files to play from a network DLNA server and your program offers outstanding capability for media server based systems where DLNA falls short Outstanding program concept!
Keep the gui graphical and simple and if the user wants deep down movie related info www.imdb.net provides even the trailer if desired.
Great job!
