I am working on an application and wanted to gage people’s interest in my project.
This is my Idea
Have an application where my friends can see what media I have , select what they want me to copy for them and then save this list to a file .
Email me the file and then I could open the file with an application and then have it automatically copy the media they selected to a drive.
Features
• The list of what I have should come from XBMC (I use XBMC with mySQl).
• The list should be updateable in an easy way and should be saved in an xml file.
• It should display how much space they will need for what they have selected.
• They should be able to filter the list so they don’t have to scroll through everything.
• The copying should be simple I should just open the file they send me and point to a dive where the stuff should be copied to.
• The copying must be done with TeraCopy because its faster than windows normal copying
So I have created the below application and it has 98 % functionality right now .
Just wanted to know if anyone else would find this use full ,or had any ideas.
How it works
1) You the person who has all the stuff opens the application and clicks MakeXML and this makes a list of your shows and saves it to an xml file.
2 ) You give you friend the application with the file you generated with all you media listed in it.
3) They open the appreciation and select what they want by show and season , taking note of how much space they should have free for every thing they have selected.(bottom let corner of the application show total space required)
4) Once they are done adding stuff to the list they click Save and save the file to disk. They then give you the file they saved and a drive.
5) You open the application click Select File and select the file they gave you , then you click Select a folder and select there drive or a folder on their drive . Then you click Copyshows and it will start copying all the shows to their drive.
So this all works but its a rough prototype if people are interested I will clean it up and add more functionality.
Requirements for it to all work.
• Your xbmc will have to be using MySQL (I might change this and have an option to used xbmc’s flat file but that might take a while to read from)
• You will need one custom function in mysql that I made (I might change this in time but the function is bundled with the application its called Xbmcfunction.sql just run it once and your sorted)
• .Net 4.5
• Teracopy
Latest Update
As I said at the start this is just the beginning of and idea and I am flexible when it comes to every aspect of the project.
Please let me know what you think off this application and how valuable it would be to your life .
Thank you for your time .
