Idea
We all know the problem.
You have just downloaded a movie from the internet.
Then you go searching for subtitles.
Then you go searching for front and back covers.
Then you grab the info from imdb.com
Then you download the trailer
And finally you are getting pretty angry that you don't have the chapter information and a menu system for all this.
My idea is a .moi file placed alongside the video file. This file is basically a zip file with changed extension. This file should a directory structure like this..
/Subtitles/English/default.srt
/Subtitles/English/directors comments.srt
/Cover/front.jpg
/Chapter/info.xml
/Chapter/chapter-1.jpg
/Info/imdb.com.xml
/info/amazon.com.xml
/info.xml
The video player should auto detect the file and adjust settings according to this. The system should include an auto updater function, which connects to a site downloading new subtitles, and information.
Maybe along with a menubuilder system that will allow us to create subtitles select menus and slideshows.
http://www.nsplayer.org/ Has done something similar but the features are very limited.
In the perfect world you download a movie from the internet. Fire up your media player based on file specs (size, movielenght, etc.) it downloads a .moi. Then it display a menu based on the configuration.
The result would be user friendly and extremely powerful.
What do you think of my idea?
Sorry about my bad english
