yeh for a easy-to-install stand-alone setup maybe sqlite , but imagine the future with freevo boxes that have multiple front-ends, streaming live video with neat os-specific gui's, a little "whats on now" display and a browsable tv guide, something along those lines anyway. just that i havnt seen plug-ins for vb(win) or perl(nix) to let me access sqlite, just dont want to re-invent the wheel.
This all sounds pretty cool, but wouldn't we want to keep the interface to the DB backend as an API? Sounds like you're just asking for problems if multiple clients access the same tables in the DB. How would you ever be able to make changes to the DB structure without breaking things?
Instead there could be version-controlled RPC APIs over HTTP that can be accessed from any language (Python, Perl, VB etc). And then the backend DB would be implemented using whatever SW that best fits our needs.
Anyways, I like what you're talking about, and it would be interesting to see your work. Keep it up!
