bump...
I too would like an easy way to scan my offline dvd's into the xbmc library. Option to filter on online (nas, hdd) and offline (dvd, cd) would be nice.
Movies displayed in XBMC could have an "Offline" overlay over the icon when "show offline movies" are shown.
Extra fields to the database:
Offline bool (true for offline movies and false for online)
Location string (optional - a string stating a location
MediaNumber string (optional - a string stating the media number feks if you archive your dvd's like DVD0101 etc)
When pressing play on an offline movie the info in Location and MediaNumber is used to show a message asking the user to insert the DVD and when done so start playing it.
I have a license for DVD Profiler but lost my database long ago and didn't care to rebuild it. I might buy a barcode scanner for the purpose if import from DVD Profiler was ever done easily...
It's either this or rip all the 400 dvd's to my NAS (yikes!)
I know spiff left, but maybe some other dev would take on this task
