Pick is a media browser, built using django.
Hover over a thumbnail to see a description of the film and click on the stars to rate it.
Films can be filtered by year, runtime, black and while/colour, digital/physical availability and by user rating.
You can also filter by genre, using AND, OR and NOT filters. This allows
you to require or exclude genre(s).
Films can be grouped into series. You can then click through to see all the series members.
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --group all
You may need to either copy or link el-pagination.js from the venv into static, for example:
ln -s .venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/el_pagination/static/el-pagination/js/el-pagination.js mediabrowser/static/mediabrowser/js/el-pagination.js
To make the database:
./manage.py makemigrations mediabrowser
./manage.py migrate
Use scripts/pop_db.py to populate the database. The simplest input can be
a list of filenames (for example, the output of ls piped into a file); use the
-f arg to supply this. Pick searches IMDb for matching films.
To override the automatically found IMDb IDs for any file, you can also supply a patch.csv. This also allows you to manually specify any other data fields.
For example:
scripts/pop_db.py -f films.txt -p patch.csv
See scripts/pop_db.py -h for full usage.
./manage.py test mediabrowser -v 2
python -m pytest -v scripts/test/
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
To view on another machine on the network, add the IP address to ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py.
