Tool to preLoad "Get Info" metadata on your TV Live hub

[whyte46]

Hi Tony I can see the date in the XML file under the year tag but in the hub it just displays n/a if I then ask it to rescan info in puts the date in with m/d/y format where as the one in the meta file was day month year. Also I noticed that the ones added with this tool keep the file name for the movie

Hmmm.   I guess it parses the year information then and reformats it.  I prefer MM/DD/YYYY format myself, so I didn't notice that.

You're correct; the hub does not replace the filaneme with the <title> tag on XML that the user provides.

Hi

I'm new to all this as I only got the Hub for Xmas.

The tool works great (Big thanks) but I have a couple of questions.

1. How do I get the large cover picture to display (to the left of the overview/plot).
2. How to display the film title rather than the file name.

I assume there is a config xml file somewhere that links everything up, but I don't know where it is located.

Any help much appreciated, sorry if I've gone off topic slightly.

Once again, a great tool.

Cheers

1>  A file called "moviename.jpg" must exist in the same folder as the movie.

For example, if your movie is "Sharks Kill All.avi" then youd need a file called "Sharks Kill All.jpg"

2>  You can't.  That's a bug in the WD's code.    This DOES work if you do GET CONTENT INFO on the movie, but then that will overwrite the XML that this tool provides, so you're need to put it back.

If there is parenthesis in the filename, program gives an following error message:

There is an error in XML document (8, 8).

Doesn't work:

C:\Movies\Great Movie (2010)\Great Movie (2010).iso

Works:

C:\Movies\Great Movie (2010)\Great Movie 2010.iso

Hello! The_roggy

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you for this excellent tool, It did save me bunch of time to get some of my metadata...

One request, Can you please include  means to parse subdirectories and gather Metadata Information? - I have my movies in folders and this tool does not seem to work when there are folders and subfolders.

Also, Please include .ISO in the file list of known files.

Thank you again for a wonderful tool, Hope you find time to update the tool for the community.

With best wishes

If you want iso use immediately just go to the end of the current movie extensions and add , .iso after WMV

My movies are in subdirectories and it scanned them all. Have a look at the log file in C:\temp to see what happened.

Be aware that this tool will not download any information where there is more than one title found plus it may download the wrong movie info so you should check.

Hello RickUK

Happy New Year to you!

Thanks!  that did the trick... I never realized that field was editable to include whatever file extensions one wishes!

Great job and thanks again to Pieter Roggemans  We all owe you pitchers of beer! for coding this for this community. 

Best regards
