Movie Library Clone Goes Open Source
The third
party clone of Niveus Media’s Movie Library has now gone open source. Currently know as Open Media Library, the project is up on Google
Code now.
The one major change that I’d like to see is for Open Media
Library to take more of its own path, rather than trying to be a 1:1 copy of
Niveus’ plug-in. While the cover display
is hardly a new idea, it would be nice to see what other display techniques
people can come up with. Even at its
early stages, I think this plug-in has great potential and being open sources I hope others contribute to the project.
The plug-in does use collection database software from Collectorz.com to generate XML files for
each movie, this is the same approach being used by a few other plug-ins as
well.
Not to be outdone, My Movies will be getting a lightweight
MCML release soon. “I can assure you
that it will not be three months before you are able to use My Movies in MCML”
