Hey guys,
I've been searching for a way to create an overview of my movies and tvshows but did not find a fast and simple one.
After some research I was able to browse the .db file with simple sql and create a csv file. From here it was easy to generate a excel document of my collection.
I created a youtube video. Probably something that can come in handy for you guys.

Exporting the db results in xml which might be easier to use then the db...
And i will never understand why people are doing youtube videos instead of writing a HowTo with words (too old school?).

Along these lines, I think it would be cool to be able to print out a magazine style catalogue of my local movies. Each page would have, say, 2 movies, with a synopsis, a poster, ratings etc and a barcode. You could flick through the catalogue and decide what to watch, then scan the barcode on your phone, which would contain a URL to send the JSON-RPC code to the Kodi machine to play that movie.
Sometimes we have visitors around. They want to watch a movie. I have hundreds of them, would be cool to give them a catalogue and say "choose one while we have a beer and I cook dinner" rather than sending them to the media room on their own.
Kinda retro I know, but it would be a good coffee table item.
Just need the time and a bit more knowledge of pdf construction and scripting.

I normally just give them an ipad with the kodi remote installed for choosing a movie - but yeah ... Should be doable by crafting a webfrontend which does all this incl. The barcode generation and then print that website i guess
