export jpg with full info

Post by pippolino »

Hi,
I have my access db to manage my movies.
All my movies are on a hdd media player (the ones you directly attach to tv without the need of a pc).
I wanted to have the file for the film and a jpg with image and film infos (so i'm able to get infos about the film only by viewing the jpg).
I've made a php script that takes the infos from the db and creates the image.

Now it would be amazing to migrate my db to AMC but, is it possible to create pictures (jpg, gif...) as I described with all (or only selected) film infos? I tried the export image but it only exports the film image.

Any clues?
Thanks
Lorenzo

Hi,
The Access DB can be imported in the latest version of the program, but generating images is not something possible directly in the program.
However, it should be possible to write a script that does that. Even a PHP script could do it.
Technically it is possible to read the .amc file in PHP, though that I am not sure that someone did it yet, and there are few PHP scripts that handle the .xml file that can be used as catalog instead of the .amc (see "templates" section of the forum for such scripts).
