lucky-loek / lmdb

An eye jerking web app that tells you how much time you could've done better things than watching tv instead.

Lucky-Loek's Movie Database

Welcome to the most unnecessary app I've ever built. It imports your IMDb watchlist, runs it through OMDb and then displays your movies plus some absolutely tear-jerking statistics on a dashboard.

This app is mostly for me to experiment with certain architectures and editors. Right now, it's a single-action controller based app that I wrote in Vim. But it may change to hexagonal, microservices or whatever I find interesting in the future.

Requirements

The app works on Docker, or you can run it locally (for which you will need Php 7.3+). Now you only need a .csv export of your IMDb watchlist and an API key by OMDb.

Note: OMDb limits free keys to 1000 requests per day. I've not built in any way of dealing with this limit so expect errors if your watchlist is longer.

Installation

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/opt -w /opt laravelsail/php80-composer:latest composer install
# For local installations: composer install

$ cp .env.example .env

# Fill in all the credentials, paste the csv file in storage/app

# Start the app
$ ./vendor/bin/sail up -d

# First time setup
$ ./vendor/bin/sail artisan key:generate
$ ./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate

# App is available at localhost

Usage

$ ./vendor/bin/sail artisan lmdb:import

# Visit localhost

lmdb's Issues

Images don't really do anything

Maybe make them like a filterable list to check individual movie data?

Series do not contain episodes

For instance, a 100 episode series now counts as 1 episode. This makes the already high viewing time way too low.

Search method

Would be nice if we could search for movies or series

Add view count

I've seen the Return of the King at least 10 times. That should be included, for now it counts as much as a movie I've only seen once.
