Feature Request for Movie Library

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hello

I am hosting my DVD images on an external Firewire HD.

When I start up Remote Buddy it takes ages for my movie library to load. I would love to be able to specify the location of my movie library to Remote buddy so that my movies list loads faster.

Is there any other way to speed up the process?

Regards
Andreas

Can I also add DivX/AVI/MOV files to the built-in movie library and not just VIDEO_TS folders? (FAQ015E0200)
Yes. All you need to do is to install VLC and organize your files in a given folder structure. It's also possible to add covers then. If, for example, you want to add the file MyMovie.avi, the folder structure should look like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
You can add movies that are split up into several files the same way. The folder structure then looks like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 1.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 2.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 3.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
The names of the movie- and coverfiles are freely choosable - you only need to make sure the suffix fits the format of the file. Supported formats for cover files include JPEG, PNG and GIF.

In Remote Buddy's menu, you can then start playback of your movies complete with existing covers in the context menu of the VLC Behaviour.

Thanks for asking.

There's no way I'd know of to speed up Spotlight queries - sorry.
Spotlight in Leopard is supposed to be much quicker, though (http://

Having said that, extending the Movie Library functionality is also
on my ToDo list.

Best regards,
Felix
