Private Netflix-like clone in Flask

[fisle]

Currently I wouldn't recommend using this with TV-series, as I did not think of them during development.

Every episode would end up as a new movie, and at the moment there's a problem because new movie info (description, ratings, genres) come from rottentomatoes api which AFAIK does not support tv-shows, so you would be unable to add the tv-show at all. For initial hack with @TheLinuxBug we made it to ignore all the info/etc and just put the filename as name, as per this image.

@TheLinuxBug suggested using tvrage api to get the info of tv-shows but first I need to fork in actual support for tv-shows in the first place.

Thanks, I'll keep my eyes open when you add support for series then .

Tried it out, it was a bit tough to setup because I've never used Flask, but I eventually got it  It works very well, streaming is fast.

Also, add a custom subtitle directory option and an option to leave avi files alone, I've disabled both of those because otherwise it would take forever. Also try to add a delay after you finish typing to get results, the rottentomatoes API, or use http://www.themoviedb.org/ and http://thetvdb.com/ for info

I've also noticed a bug with adding movies, when adding a movie to the database, you'll randomly get the previous movie name populated in ~ 1/5 of the select fields. Another bug is using names with periods etc in them, jQuery errors out.
