Monotheka is a (yet!) simple application to organize and keep track of your movie catalogue. It runs on Linux platform using the GTK toolkit. It's designed to be simple and GNOME / HIG compliant. It's written in Mono. It's free.

Thanks a lot
Kind regards

those features rock :
http://monotheka.enove.pl/index.php?page=features

IMDBGet - to auto-fill movie data from IMDB (by title)

But this is needed :
MONO >= 1.0.6 (MONO 1.1.x strongly recommended)

mono 1.0.5-1 is in universe right now so unless mono is backported from breezy this won't work

I just compiled it. It's a nice program. One big thing missing is imdb ratings.(and he's going to implement it!)

You got to have mono installed (backported). Also install the package sqlite. Edit monoboil.conf and remove "sqlite-2.8". After this do just :

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

If you like Monotheka, you should try GCFilms (http://home.gna.org/gcfilms/).
It's a movie catalogue, but it has more plugins for importing data form the net than Monotheka. Right now it supports gettinf info from these websites:

- English: Amazon, DVDZone2.com, IMDB
- French: Alapage.com, Allocine.fr, Amazon.fr, Animeka.com, CinemaClock.com, Cinemotions.com, DVDFr.com, DVDPost.be, MonsiuerCinema.com, Movieclub.fr
- Spanish: CulturaliaNet.com
- German: Amazon.de
- Dutch: MovieClubNL
- Italian: FilmUp

It's written in Perl-gtk2, so you don't need Mono.
Doesn't need SQL databases.
Exports movie list to XML, web page, CSV, SQL and .tar.gz
Imports movie list from AntMovieCatalog, CSV and DVDProfiler.
Supported languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian
Has support for Skins.

You have to try it! http://home.gna.org/gcfilms/

thnx I checked it out. It looks nice.

But it can't get ivideo/audio format nformation from files like monotheka can. Also monotheka has plans for a Beagle backend/filter.

So, could we get GCfilms in extras? Version 5.1 was just released. Source tarball is on the site and deb package data is in the cvs: http://cvs.gna.org/viewcvs/gcfilms/gcfilms/packages/debian/

Edit: Or, if that isn't sufficient you can contact "Dab", who does the Debian packaging.
