Node / Express app server to list all movies and series on a drive

Mediaparser written in Node and Express

Description

This is a hobby project which parses movies and series in a given directory structure, similar as e.g. Plex does it. After parsing the paths, the app generates a HTML file and serves it to the browser.

Setup

The directory structure can be changed in config.json. The app currently supports one movie and one series directory, which have to be present. Future versions of this project might support less and more directories.

config.json

This is an example config.json

{
  "moviesPath":"/Users/you/mediaparser/media/movies",
  "seriesPath":"/Users/you/mediaparser/media/series"
}

Run the app with

node dist/app.js

Open your browser with the following url http://localhost.

Development

There are two other versions of this project written in Java, and Python. The Node version is the only one actively being developed though.
