Media Library

• server api part for the media library

Old - for history reasons

This project wants to provide a rest based application to manage your media library. With version 1, it will have support for audio, book, game and video.

It is written in javascript, html and php. The frontend will be an ajax based single side page. A possible mobile app is planned but in the far far away future.

• extend search to search for shared libraries
• implement wish list
• implement borrwed list
• create mobile phone application
• fetch more informations by using third party sources like wikipedia or amazon
• implement plugin and update architecture
• divide read from write logic (as demonstrated in php magazin 5.14 p 10 ff, CQRS)
  • use php/propel objects for writing (by supporting Commands)
    • writing is working with events to keep update in sql database fast
    • event handler is taking care of updating reading part
  • use redis/coucheDb for reading (by supporting queries)
    • data of reading can differ from needed output
      • simple json/xml for general questions
      • full json/xml when manipulating data
