xbmc developers,
i know this idea has been somewhat discussed already. but i thought i'd add a spin to it.
would it be that hard to made xbmc have all of the features of the high-end (and very expensive) kaleidescape server? http://www.kaleidescape.com/
if you're not familiar with this server, check it out!
so basically, here's what i'm suggesting:
1. build in a "ripping" function for dvd movies. the ripper should be a simple, user-friendly feature. it should allow you to rip by chapter, file, or whole move (with or without special features). also, if the user selected "whole movie", they should be able to select whether to make the decrypted files into one vob file, or keep it split up.
2. the resulting file(s) should be placed either on an smb share, or on the local drive.
3. it would be great to have the imdb info for each movie/clip. thumbnail, title, director, actors, etc.
please let me know if you guys are interested in this feature. if you either can't or don't want to implement this feature, is it possible for me to write a module to implement this feature for xbmc myself (i have the xdk)? i have several friends who would be willing to help program this as well.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
