| | Posted: | | | | Is there a plan / support for Web Services? We have two pcs in our house, but they're not as accessible as the Mac in the living room. Want to see if there's a plan (or if it already exists) for Web Services for the DVD Profiler Database.
Thanks,
Ben |

| | Posted: | | | | It's an XML like interface that *mostly* supports any kind of coding. Google has support for it. Essentially you make programing like calls from a client up to the server. Take a look at wikipedia's definition:

| | Posted: | | | | I think, Giga Wizard wants to know what you want to do with it.
There is an interface between the program and the server but it's not public and I don't think any of its function would be any use to you.
The question remains of what you wish to accomplish, mayber there's already an add-on of any kind (plugin, php, ...) for it. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Ah,
Really I'm thinking about trying to make a Profiler Lite for the Mac. Add a dvd, look at dvds, and that's it. I'm really just too lazy to walk upstairs and add 10 new dvds on my PC upstairs if it's possible to figure out a way to add it via the mac (also -- we have an "older" iMac that's based off the powerPC chip -- so we can't run wine/darwine correctly to run dvd profiler on it). I've recently started working with Web Services at work with Java/Tcl/Perl and thought it would be a great place to have that technology. |

The one caution i would offer you is that you don't own DVDProfiler, so any attempt to develop a Profiler Lite for the Mac based on Profiler would likely run smack into a Copyright issue..

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah... Profiler "Lite" wasn't really anything I'd definitely use... Thought if there were web services, it would be cool to come up with something easy to use with the Mac. |
