How to show saved informations while playing a movie offline

Postby MariusKolo on Sat Jan 06, 2007 2:29 pm

Hi.
I`m nearly ready designing my new skin. Now I have got a little question how to solve one problem. I used DVD profiler to creat a database of my movie-collection. Thisone I have integrated into xlobby. I plan to watch my movies mostly "offline". Therefore I have made a "QuickStart"-button. Pressing thisone, command xlobby to start the movie insert into my DVD-Drive using zoomplayer. The movie is gonna to be played on my screen while I would like to see on the touchscreen which movie is playing now (cover, plot, running time). Is it possible to command xlobby to prove (while pressing QuickStart) which DVD is insert into the drive then compare the information with the Database and afterthat output the saved informations on touchscreen???
Hopefully my explanation was not to confusing....
Thanks for your support

I think you may be doing things a bit backwards. You can currently creat offline events, so if you choose a movie from your database it will open a screen with the info, then eject the drive, you input the disc, then it will close and autoplay on your other monitor. You dont need a "Quickstart" button. Online movies will just play, offline movies will eject and then play.

As far as automatically getting dvdprofiler info, updating database and showing on a screen all on disc input, I dont think that is currently possible.
