Download Movie Organizer
Software requirements
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Window 7
Java jre 1.6+ (32-bit JRE required to run as Window's serivce)
VLC Media Player 1.0.4 (1.1.x not supported)
Internet Browser: Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6, or Chrome 4.0
New Installation Instructions
1) Download latest version below.
2) Extract. The contents will be placed a directory called "craigworks". Make sure the directory structure (e.g. craigworks/movies/bin, craigworks/movies/lib, etc..) is preserved after extraction. Start.bat will build the java classpath from the jars located in the lib directory.
3) Open file explorer and locate and execute start.bat or installService.bat in craigworks\movies\bin. When installing a service in Windows 7 or Vista, User Account Control will display a confirmation prompt. Click 'yes' to install service. Also, the first time you run CraigWorks your firewall software may prompt you before allowing java.exe to access the internet. CraigWorks requires the internet to import data so make sure you allow it.
4) Start up a browser
5) Type in: http://localhost/CraigWorks/movies. It should bring up the home page.
6) Start adding movies, by clicking the "+" icon. Enter title and year and click "Import", then "Save".
7) To play movie files you will need VLC. Install VLC using my version below or by going to the VLC site at http://www.videolan.org/ and downloading the latest 1.0.X release (Note: 1.1.X is not supported yet. Enabling fullscreen mode does not work). For Firefox and Chrome browers, make sure to include the mozilla plugin during the VLC install.
Upgrade
1) Download latest version below.
"Release 1.5" changes the way displays settings are stored and requires you to re-input them for each display. Please make note of any special settings (e.g. vlc options) prior to upgrading.
2) Make a backup copy of your craigworks directory, just in case ;-)
3) If you are running as a service, uninstall service before upgrading. Run craigworks\movies\bin\uninstallService.bat
4) Remove directories "bin", "lib", and "web". This step is required.
5) Extract new content into same directory structure.
6) Apply any changes you may have made to craigworks.properties (e.g. port)
7) Open file explorer and locate and execute start.bat or installService.bat in craigworks\movies\bin. When installing a service in Windows 7 or Vista, User Account Control will display a confirmation prompt. Click 'yes' to install service. Also, the first time you run CraigWorks your firewall software may prompt you before allowing java.exe to access the internet. CraigWorks requires the internet to import data so make sure you allow it.

9) Type in: http://localhost/CraigWorks/movies

Which VLC Version?
This is the version of VLC I've been testing with. I compiled it myself and made a couple of my own modifications to better work with this application. The two changes I made were 1) trust all VLC options and 2) forward keyboard events to webpage when playing in fullscreen mode.
