Movie Picker

A Flutter-based web application for browsing and selecting movies from a DVDProfiler XML export.

Features

• XML Parsing: Reads and displays your movie collection from a collection.xml file.
• Drag & Drop: Easily load your XML file and any local cover art images by dragging them onto the window.
• Web Scraping: Automatically fetches missing cover art, movie summaries, and Rotten Tomatoes scores from TMDB, iTunes, and OMDb.
• Rich UI:
  • Sleek, modern dark theme.
  • Advanced filtering by title, genre, and media type (4K, Blu-ray, DVD, 3D).
  • Sort by Collection Number, Title, Year, and more.
  • "Surprise Me!" button for a random pick from your entire collection.
• "What are we watching?" Panel:
  • Add up to 10 movies to a selection queue.
  • "Random Choice" button to pick a winner from your queue.
  • Clear the queue to start over.
• Persistence: Your collection, fetched images, and API keys are saved locally in your browser, so your data is ready for you the next time you open the app.

Setup

1. Get Dependencies:

   flutter pub get

2. API Keys: This app uses The Movie Database (TMDB) and the Open Movie Database (OMDb) to fetch movie details. You will need to obtain free API keys from both services.

   • Get a TMDB API Key
   • Get an OMDb API Key

   Once you have your keys, run the app and click the Settings icon in the top-right corner to enter and save them.

Running the App

flutter run -d chrome

Usage

Once the app is running, simply drag and drop your DVDProfiler collection.xml file (and any associated cover art image files) onto the main window to load your collection.
