Hi dvd Profiler users,

I've developed a Flash application to display my family's dvd collection. I use the database generator from phpMyProfiler.

this is the link: http://dvd.brinkkemper.nl

I added some features to the application that the default phpMyProfiler doesn't have such as:
- a 3d display of the covers.
- a large wall displaying all covers.
- suggestions of dvd's related by cast and/or crew
- browse dvd's by awards

It also has private features using a Drupal backend with AMF/PHP. These are only available after login and include:
- changing the location of a dvd.
- changing the owner of a dvd.
- voting
- comment on dvd's



Just though I'd post it here to see what the responses are. If you have an opinion on it pleas share it with me so I can improve this application!

Kind Regards, Tom

Wow, that looks pretty neat actually!

I like the lay-out and smooth browsing.

A few suggestions, if i may:
- perhaps adding personal data? Who has watched what? What has been lent out? => can be useful for friends who are browsing
- adding external links to IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc?
- possibility to zoom on cover (for high res covers)

A few questions:
- did you manually upload the covers to the site?
- did you manually upload the headshots as well?
- will you make this available to others to use on their own sites?

That's a pretty cool UI. Too bad it's really only practical on an extremely high-res desktop/laptop screen. You have a 27" iMac or somesuch at home for browsing your collection?

Thanks for the replies.

@Taro
- The site supports personal information. You can comment and vote on dvd's. All those features are behind a login though. for privacy
- imdb scores and links is something for the future
- and high res covers. More hi res than the 3d view is not available via dvdProfiler so I don't realy bother.
- did you manually upload the covers to the site? (yes, but all at in one upload)
- did you manually upload the headshots as well? (yes, but all at in one upload)

- will you make this available to others to use on their own sites?
I'm thinking about this. Thats actualy the reason i posted it here. To see if someone would be interested. I would have the refactor the code to make the modules more seperated.

If you have dvdProfiler running, it would only be a matter of minutes to get the flash site up and running.
