VDB is intended to be a GUI tool for searching a large digital video collection. The idea came from my own video collection becoming too large and spread out to “visually” search easily. Planned features include tagging, metadata editing and fetching from external sources and being able to save and load filters. A comprehensive plugin interface will be added and most of this functionality will be in the form of supplied plugins.

The implementation is written in Python, using an SQLite backend and a pyGTK (+ libsexy) frontend.

• Add files and directories to file database
• List of file names
• Full-text search based on file names
• Launch default player for a selected file
• Data persistence (SQLite database stored at ~/.vdb/vdb.sqlite)

See the Roadmap for what's planned in the future. The Ideas page is a brainstorming page for the project, so something interesting might turn up there.
