project vds

This article talk about the vds aka Video Database System. A web application to store your video collection.

Introduction

This is nearly a fresh project. Long time before, i used my custom Microsoft Access database called Video Database to manage my videos. See here for this old project. Actually i'm rewriting this to some Pythonic version with some new features.

The goal is to write some program to manage my video collection. In one way or another, i want some list of all my videos, with some informations such as the duration, time, synopsis, actors. The advantage of a web interface is that we are able to show the video collection to some other people ...

The vds isn't in a Subversion reposition yet, nor is the vds downloaded yet. But the vds is already online and used. A login is required!

Rules of thumbs

There are some rules of thumbs. These rules are there in a try to standardize some things.

Filling in some new informations

For your own good and a question to avoid to forget to add some informations: it's best to add new informations in by following these steps.

• Adding a new movie.
• Linking, adding new actors to this newly added movie.
• Adding pictures of actors.

Images

• Images of actors and movies:
  • Landscape: Size may be 320x280.
  • Portrait: Size may be 280x320.

Screenshots

The "graphical" interface isn't completed yet, even has this a very very basic interface. The vds needs to get some theme. Right now, you can see the basic way it will go. The designed view isn't the final look it will have. I'm planning to give it a beautiful view, but this will be probably done as last.

So i may repeat me; please keep in mind that the interface will change: right now this is just an ugly interface to test if the code behind is ok.
