Something that's ticking along


This is the first vaguely useful build of Wapiti - something I've been toying around with for a while.


As it stands, it scrapes your hard-drive for media files, and tries to guess correct names from titles. It also finds missing numbers in sequences of files - and adds them to your library as "missing".


Future versions will also be able to scrape websites for full collection information - currently it can only fill obvious gaps (as seen here).


Files that are missing will be able to be flagged as "want" and the client will scrape web pages for relevant downloads, or indeed find other instances of itself on a lan, and sort out what's going on.


I hope to be able to provide a DLNA (or at least UPNP) host from this application that will let you browse by title, rather than more messy folder structure.


There's more - but I'm still getting it straight in my head.


Yes, those are Windows paths in linux - I'm developing on both platforms and my Windows devbox has access to a bigger media library than my Linux one :P
