dvd list with pictures/description..

Postby kirneh on Wed Jun 02, 2004 5:32 pm

I have a lot of dvd'movies. I dont want my HTPC to play the movies, i just put the movie in my dvd.
But i would like to have all my movies inside Xlobby to browse around. It should then get actors, story, pictures and so on from a site like imdb.com.
Have anyone made this to Xlobby ?

you dont have to rip all your movies in your htpc to browse around. If you use dvdprofiler you can create the database with all the information about the movies while movie itself remains offline.

In a way. I havel like 40-50 movies on my hard drive, and 200 movies on CDs/DVDs. I catalogued all offline movies with AntMovie Catalog (excellent freeware), and then exported the catalog into an xml file, altogether with images (covers). Works OK. You can find a thread on how to do this somewhere in the forum...
