feature request: real database about mediacenterjs HOT 5 CLOSED

Sounds like a great improvement and I've put it on my todo list. If you are willing I would really appreciate your support/involvement

from mediacenterjs.

I've chosen SQLite as the database and the next big update will feature a complete overhaul with complete database support.

Could you create separate "layer" between application and sqlite library to
make it easy to change database (e.g. mongoose).. I've created dedicated
branch already for mongodb, so it could be starting point (
https://github.com/jupe/mediacenterjs/tree/music-with-mongodb ) .
Anyway, I would choose the type of database NoSQL for this purpose..
However, if you select noSQL database, I would recommend
mongoosehttp://mongoosejs.com and
tingodb https://github.com/sergeyksv/tingodb . Both uses exactly same api
so users can decide which one to use... and because mongoDB stores
JSONhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-like
documents with dynamic schemas it is much easier to further develop
mediacenterjs as well...

Currently I rebuild the music and movie app with a sqlite database attached.
Please check if this is somewhat to your liking.

I used the dblite module (https://github.com/WebReflection/dblite) because it works tremendously with the raspberry pi and other ARM systems and there is also no need to use nde-gyp to install it. I also what to keep the the install procedure relatively easy for people new to nodejs.

If possible it would be nice to allow the database to be interchangeable within reason. It's nice to allow new people to test out the software with sqlite and implement a more robust database when desiring more performance. just my thoughts thought.

@jansmolders86 are you currently running this on a raspberry pi? Could you detail your setup? I'm curious.
