Version 1.6.2.1- Tool to scrape TV Show Information for the WDTV Live Hub [12/4/2011]

[Kazgor]

Hi,

Can i ask which theme these tool is aimed at? i just ran this against Alcatraz and pulled in episode images that are 400x225 so wide art... yet this doesn't display well in the default theme or Delirous them.. they come up squashed due to the images wanting to be portrait.

any tips on how to make it look proper.. i ticked options per your suggestions.  

only time the episode title is shown as 01 - Pilot is in the view with 7 tiles at the bottom.. yet the image on the upper left is not the series art.. i would like a more Season 1 boxset type art. is there any filename i can use for that?

thanks.

What am I missing? Just cannot get any info to display. Have tried several Naming Template options.

All data is stored on a WD NAS Media Server on LAN. 

Is there anything I need to do/setup for theinfo to display or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks for any and all help.

Will have to wait for a moderator to approve the images.

Hopefully you can see them here.

Yes, I can see those.    Everything looks correct.

What version of firmware is your WD using?

[hilroy97]

Hi Tony

Thanks for that confirmation ... I think

Running latest FW 3.03.13.  

This is the first time I have tried your software and am looking forward to getting it working. 

Just wondering, what is the link between the video file and the XML? Is it just based on the filenames? I searched to see if there as anything in the WDTV that could be causing issue but can find nothing!

To eliminate network issues, I will drop some video on the internal drive and try from there.

Thanks again

Yep, it's purely in the filename matching.

So, just to confirm:

These files are on a NAS.

The NAS Share is added to your Media Library (via the Media Library Manager)

Your Content Source is set to "My Media Library"

[hilroy97]

You nailed it!

The share was NOT added to the Media Library. Just set it up and works like a charm.

Thanks again

Ed

Great job BTW

Now I have to add some more info and a question. Not sure if you can do this but never hurts to ask.

Typically I store my media on the WD MyBookWorld NAS. It is connected directly to my router (Gb ethernet). This device has a built in media server (Twonkey I believe). This is what I normally select when accessing media from this device.

If I access through this method, the scraped info doesn't show. When I add the share and select 'Windows shares' instead of 'Media Server' as COntent Source, the scraped info worls fine.

Can this info show up when using the Media Server instead of Network Share? I willl play a little more later to see what else I can see.

Thanks again

Ed

No.  DLNA doesn't support metedata.
