After being frustrated by the various offerings I was thinking of creating my own web-based manager.

Overview of features I'd like:

- Web based - so Apache/PHP (probably mysql) would be needed
- Support for both movies + tv shows
- Extensive scraping/api support including mixing data (get rating from IMDB, plot from themoviedb, etc.)
- Integrate with sick beard + couchpotato to notify you of new movies or tv shows
- Synx with XBMC to update changes in realtime
- Anything else?

Does anyone else here have an interest in such a tool?

Hi,

I am also trying to write such a tool on my side.

The address of my blog http://tamplan.free.fr (sorry in French)

actually adding a new file in a folder containing movies automatically add it to the video database via themoviedb.

I plan to deal also with tvshows with thetvdb.

Actually, I code models for files, path, movie, actors...

happy to use Google translation tools... :-)

I'm looking for a web based media manager to manage movies and tv shows on my nas.
For me it's important to scrape to nfo's and not to a sql db (and of course to download fanarts and covers).

A feature that I'm really looking for in a media manager is to be able to add Home Videos to the xbmc library.
I think that the best solution to do this to add them as tv shows and tag them as Home Videos Genre, found a nice guide for this here.
Would love to see this feature incorporate within a media manager.

Absolutely interested! At this moment I have an Ubuntu based system running a mysql XBMC database, SabNZBD+, SickBeard, Couchpotato, Headphones, Periscope, Spotnet, and MediaFrontPage. I can't use all those .NET based media managers, so please make a web based version!

Im confused.. doesnt sickbeard and CP handle the scraping of metadata already along with fanart etc... I use mediafrontpage to view all the programs in one location which makes it easy imo.

what are you trying to do?

@rflores2323: like dhead said, this could be handy for adding home videos or some old strange videos that are not recognized by SickBeard or Couchpotato.

I've found for TV, sickbeard does a fantastic job. So good that I've removed my "TV" directory from Ember altogether.

For movies though, couchpotato just puts a link to the imdb page in a .nfo file and lets xbmc pull the information down. I'd rather have all the nfo information in xml format instead of a link to imdb. (which is why I'm trying to put together some CLI tools to help me manage my meta data)

This all sounds exactly what i'm looking for. Any progress so far?
