With all the great stuff being produced by @ding73ding (JAV Database thread) and @kunoichi (VivaJapan - Video Management Application thread) I can only update that I've managed to reduce the lines of code in the JAD app of mine. Last version I produced for myself was 13kb, now I'm down to 10kb. Basically I consolidated two very similar procedures in the code into one with a boolean passed to determine how to split the duties as if there were still two separate ones.

It still looks and feels like my last posted video example. Really for what I need it to do, it is working for me. But I still wanted to have it navigate to a page for each title clicked to show more data on it. When I can get to it, I suppose.

@ding73ding, well it turns out my boss said I might not have to learn Python after all. They're switching gears on how they want to accomplish whatever it is they were trying. I didn't even know.

But, hey, what about Xojo? With VB being my thing, I'm wondering how that can play out for cross-platform. I can code in VB-like code where I'm comfortable AND, to quote their site "Xojo can be used to develop apps for iPhone and iPad, macOS, Windows, Linux, the web and Raspberry Pi"

Ah... sorry. Never heard of Xojo so that's -5 points right there. I am not super-geek but something I never heard of is not likely to be important.

So... let's a-Google... ok it's proprietary, -10 points. Supported by one single company -10, not public traded company -10. Been around for quite a few years +10, been around for a few years and never heard of it, -50. Stack Overflow has 85 entries for tag xojo, vs. 79,850 for tag matlab (a proprietary language that I use), -1000 points. (for reference Python tag has 998,925 entries) So the sum doesn't look good. Unless someone pay me a lot of money, I'm not going further with Xojo. I advice you consider the same.

And... I don't think I will ever need a JAV app on Raspberry Pi. For my use, porn is not very mobile or cross platform. But... actually my program 99.5% (hesitant to claim 100% now) cross-platform for Win/macOS/Linux. For iOS and Android I guess a solution is out there but I haven't investigated it.

Not to be spineless about new things, I was wondering what it would look like to have a JAV shop (physical one) look to my app. While this isn't implemented, only a mock up of a virtual shelf with DVDs side by side, it does look interesting.

@ding73ding Looks like I have a need to learn PHP for work. I really can't wait to get paid to code a better JAV Archive Database (basically)!

I've been at a standstill with the HTA version, but, I'm about to start on a PHP version. Once I learn PHP, that is. But I've worked with ASP so I'm good with web/database development. Shouldn't be too long? :rolleyes:

Hi,

Came across this post, and thought this was a novel idea. Enough to give it a try and implement it as a real web control.
You can see the result here: https://jsfiddle.net/pu35gysj/
Make sure to enlarge the view panel to allow for animation and scrolling.

Have fun.

OH MY FUCKING GOD (Apologies to God, im just so happy). THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CODE AND NEVER COULD GET TO BE ABLE TO WORK! Please tell me you have made a program, or the ability to link to the files themselves. I have always dreamed of a walk-able JAV store where I could look at all the files I have, and pick one up, and go directly to the file itself.

I won’t answer for him but I’ll tell you that what he shows as his example may be able to be implemented into a desktop app perhaps (like electron or angular), but, that is CSS, so, it’s a web-based thing. Early on I did something nowhere near as cool with HTML/JavaScript (maybe CSS, I don’t remember) where I could put a BD-R disk in and load a web page that had the contents as DVD covers. Clicking on the cover would then play the video in the browse at the native file resolution. I could only get it to work in Chrome, my IE was largely corrupted on my PC and it wasn’t working in Firefox.

What he did is really cool, though, right! But, in order for you to do what you want, you’d need a very large single storage location unless you don’t mind splitting it up into separate libraries. Especially with how many titles you have, I remember your earlier posts, you’ve got quite a few, don’t you?

I do, Yes. I could always just do HTML with no JS or CSS (bloated IMO), but I would have to manually input everything.

When I was first looking into a web interface and looked at CSS I saw so many forum posts and columns on the web saying that you just HAD to use Bootstrap and blah blah blah. Not me. When it comes to coding (in any language) I only incorporate the libraries or code chunks I need, I don’t get the whole shebang. With what I’m working on I’m finding CSS bits and pieces, just enough to get what I want working. Once it is working well I’ll clean up the sytles.css file since now I’m just cutting and pasting from here and there to see if I can get it to work. So far so good. Sure it is good practice to keep something like (this is just an example, I don’t have this in my CSS) :

div.a {
font-size: 15px;
}

div.b {
font-size: large;
}

div.c {
font-size: 150%;
}

But by the time I’m done testing I’ll change it to :

div.a {font-size: 15px;}
div.b {font-size: large;}
div.c {font-size: 150%;}

MUCH more manageable and readable to ME. The point of using the other method is that it should be clear to read for any others that need to look at your code. No one will look at this but me, so, I’ll know exactly what I’m looking at. So, while CSS can seem bloated, I know exactly what you’re talking about, you certainly don’t have to keep it so, and, it really can make things look and behave in some pretty cool ways.

My problem is since I'm doing this in PHP it won't open a local file. My HTA could.

I’ve been working on my tracking system using that USBWebserver and PHP/MySQL (that comes with it) and I’m so far getting satisfied with it. Still very bare bones but I’ve included some CSS for some visuals. IT IS A TOTAL DISTRACTION from working on the functionality, believe me, I wish I could stop and get back to the inner workings but I can’t resist, just seeing what can be done. For example, using the incredible example from @BenKitty and his DVD spine presentation, I was able to find something similar in terms of only displaying a cropped portion of an image, so, my view shows just the spine of the DVD cover although the entire DVD cover is present. When I click the spine the entire full sized cover is displayed in a lightbox. There was a bunch of CSS markup for the example I had found, but, I only grabbed what I needed from it. I’ll try to post an example this weekend. I eventually want to finish this thing! But, if you’re a developer, you know darn well you never really do. You just keep adding/removing features.
