Hello,
A project that I’m working on with a few other members of the r/Zune community is the recreation of Microsoft’s metaserivces. For those who don’t know, back in the glory days of Microsoft, Windows Media Player, Zune Desktop Software and Windows Media Centre would auto pull metadata from Microsoft endpoints when a CD or DVD was inserted. These Microsoft endpoints were shutdown in 2019. With the recreation project, we have audio metadata successfully working again (thanks to MB’s endpoints).
However, the DVD endpoint is not done since I don’t know of any movie databases that can retrieve a movie release based on a DiscID. I know currently Metabrainz doesn’t have project for Movie’s and that there are multiple other DB’s out there already that contain movie data with endpoints (TVDB, TMDB and OMDB), but none of these I’m aware of that have an endpoint to lookup a DiscID.
Does anyone know of a DB with such an endpoint or would it be possible for MetaBrainz to add another project that solely has DVD DiscID’s and external links to existing Movie DB’s (TVDB, TMDB, OMDB)?
