CoverFlow and VLC in a webpage

27 April 2008

This is just a very short post about a cool hack made by someone on the VideoLAN forum: VLC&Coverflow.

This webpage uses Flash technology to let you choose the movie you want, in a CoverFlow-Like mode.

When selected, you can get the VLC to play it without the disadvantages of Flash Video format (slow, low quality, CPU hungry…)

    Does VLC have a plugin for coverflow ?
    I am running kubuntu 11.04 .. it would be great to have vlc play all my media files (audio and video) selecting them by cover art.

    Hey it’s great to see that some people are using my hacks and surprised to see it on a site outside of the vlc forum :)

    There is a newer version being done as well which is all HTML no flash just css and html :)
