Hi All, back in 2006 (I think) I created a system whereby DVD ISO images were held on a Central Windows Home Server and there were connected media players in each of the rooms which worked well. The Movie metadata was managed by MyMovies for WHS
Time has passed and it's time for a technology refresh but this time I want to include in my project home automation software which can extract my media library information and make it available via the HA system.
Basically I need a media management system where I can access the library contents which will contain details of my music and DVD/BD ISOs) via an API. I am looking for is a content library which can import DVD/ISO images easily - MyMovies was great for this. Because the media will be played on separate devices (rather than the media/content server itself) All I need to be able to do (at a high level) is to retrieve the media library which will include file locations and metadata.
Plex is almost ideal but doesn't handle ISO images as far as I understand it
MyMovies Handles ISOs great but the API is only available to professional developers
Does anyone have any suggestions based on the brief outline I have given above.
Regards
Dave
