They are local files only.

I am already working on a web-based movie player page, as an alternative to using software, based on a bash script that generates html based pages that allow me to scroll through local movies and then play them. Not done yet, but getting closer.<br>

By "local" do you mean on local drives? Are they DVD ISOs or MPEG files or what?<div class="im"><br>

I love working on bash scripts. And I was always a big fan of automating things on windows, so I look forward to learn how to do automation in linux.<br>

I guess it's kinda like this:<br>
<br>
dos batch --> bash script<br>
scheduler --> crontab<br>

I'm sure the suggestion to learn python or perl was a good one, but I do a lot in bash and I think it is very worth knowing. It helps a lot to have bash skills when you need to do something quickly from the command line. You can do a lot with bash.<br>
