I’m glad to announce that my media server manager is very almost completed. The files upload to their respective categories and the Java application handles the media library perfectly.
It took a bit of learning Swing in Java but that wasn’t hard at all.
There’s a couple of things to do in the media manager before it is completed. Remove media and categories from the server. And add descriptions to the media files. And that’s it.
The next step is the Android application to manage devices so that I can set them up on the go without the need to get back to my PC.
Unknown devices (those that are ready to be set up) will be stored in the root directory of the media server. The Android application will then assign it a category and a playlist.
All looking good now.
