AniDB

If you just use the plain SQL commands then they shouldn't have a problem exchanging data.
As for the connector, maybe an external module that connects or something, haven't decided it yet.

Thats also an option

That will probably be a choice for the user (wheter to use sqlite, postgre, mysql or something else)

Ok I'll give it a try aswell. OS: Console client, I'll mainly build it for Linux, *BSD and other *n?x systems Programming language: C++ Features: Creating a local (probably flat-file) database with hashes of the local files (by scanning the directories recursively) Renaming files according to the da...

Ah ok, well I'll have to use the UDP API then, but I still think UDP isn't fit for a task like this (but it does save a little bandwidth, thats true)

I'll make a post in the 'UDP API Client' thread

But argh! If you intend to use wxBase, you'll be using C++. I can't help you there. A nice POSIX C AniDB library. Now that's what we need! :D I have to admit I'm a console junky anyway, I do have X running but I do most of my work in a console. Besides that, I'm a horrible designer so doing anythin...

My idea of a multiplatform client is a wxBase based (note: not wxGTK, wxWin or wxMac, but wxBase only!) backend that can communicate with anidb and manage the local copy. Basically, do what aom does without the GUI. Actually, I am planning on building such a client. I'm currently PM'ing with EXP ab...

If you build a program that works in x.org (linux/bsd/*n?x) then it will work in OS X aswell. Ugh... X11 integration is nearly nonexistent on OS X. X apps run in their own little world. No standard GUI widgets, keyboard shortcuts, or even drag and drop (a must for a file-based application) Ok I hav...

Actually, its even easyer than that, since you can use the same compilers and the same libraries its not even needed to port it.

Yes

I was just saying that it is possible without a mac, you don't have to do it for me anyway, I only run linux (and I don't have a mac)

I'm thinking of changing the script a little, atleast a few extra features would be nice. Not only making it a little more flexible (some parameters should be optional and have a default value) but also adding a rename feature so it renames the original file to the name of the serie and the episode ...
