ViMediaManager
|
This open-source Mac OS X media manager gathers, stores, and manages information, artwork, trailers, and themes for movie, TV, and anime collections. It has extensive preference options, allows editing of metadata and selection of artwork, manages movie sets, offers recommendation information, and has a comprehensive episodes manager. Although still in alpha, ViMediamanager is functional and in active development.
General
ViMediamanager is developed primarily for XBMC, but can be used with other media players like YAMJ and Boxee.
ViMediamanager works with each movie or series in a separate folder together with its corresponding artwork, metadata, etc. It does not use a "flat" organization with all media files and corresponding files in a common folder. The program can automatically create the necessary folder structure from a flat structure.
