Indexing script for media files.

Post by d3vlabs »

I have 20+ (5mb and up) XVID (avi extension files) in the same directory that need to be presented to the viewer in a pleasant way.

Looking for an indexing script to work with the database of media files. I'm currently using SNIF (simple and nice index file) [http://www.bitfolge.de/snif-en.html] for my needs. Even thou it gets the job done, I would like to know if there's something with more features. I'm particularly looking for something that can create thumbnails from video clips, has an easy to edit description category as well as any features that might come visit. Considering my budget this script needs to be a freeware (gpl/open source/creative commons/etc).

I have considering using a fully feature image gallery such as Menalto http://gallery.menalto.com/ or Coppermine http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/ alongside with FFMPEG library to host my videos. However such solution is really heavy on CPU and adds a lot of unnecessary content.

I'm in progress of scouting freshmeat/hotscripts as we speak, however I still don't see exactly what I'm looking for.

If you have any ideas/suggestions/comments/etc, please post below.
