Post subject:  Display Collection by Cover Art
Julien,
Is there any way to display the collection by Cover art? Sometimes I want to pick out movies to watch but I can't always identify movies by their title, it would be great to be able to display my movie collection by cover art. I know there is the "icover" but that only displays a few at a time, and you can't print it or look at all the covers at once. It would be great to have a selection where you can display dozens or even hundreds of titles with cover art in a large grid. Any possibility of this? Thanks.

I took a screen capture of my music playing software as it kind of shows what "concept" I'm thinking about...

Hello!

Have you tried playing with the "COOLIRIS" button on the left column when you are browsing your collection?

The 3D add-on is quite nice!

Eventually I could add a "cover only" collection display.

Initially I postponed that part because the % of available covers would have made it look quite sad.

Maybe it's now time for it.

I tried it but It only displays one cover at a time (with a horizontal strip of multiple covers on the bottom). I can't get it to look like the one you have pictured? I click on the "view this in 3D" but it just takes me to their website. Also, cooliris doesn't seem to work in Opera web browser, only IE.

Turns out it's not so much supported anymore: FF12 not, IE9 not...

Sad. It was a nice plugin working with Google Image and Facebook :-(

Well, maybe time for the cover-only collection display :-)

At least you can try my little flash effort right above Cooliris: iCover

Julien,
Thanks for trying, I give you full credit for offering us different options. Your coding/web skills are awesome, regardless!

I agree, if time allows, having a native html based cover display would be great. It would be really awesome if you can define the rows and columns. Like 15x10. I could look through my 700 disk collection with just a few pages! That would be really cool.

Thanks for all your efforts Julien, I speak for all the lddb members when I say we really appreciate it!

(for completion)

iCover 1.0 was also discontinued because Adobe Flash is going extinct and was replaced by pure Javascript/CSS iCover 2.0.
