WDTVHubGen - Looks up Movies, TV Shows (Series included) and creates XML for the Hub

I've had a similar issue with a date I had first formatted DD/MM/YYYY (european style), but the hub could't handle it.... But testing it is the only possibility....

ok. so it appears that the hub doesn't process the numbers it just puts them pu and adds a minutes after. so I did this... check out the screen shot to see what I did. configurable if people want just minutes or hours and minutes...

Cool program. But I cannot get it to recognize the folders on my compputer. It allows me to select the folder but will not process it. Seems like it thinks there is nothing selected.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanx in advance.

Does teh folder have the actual files/movies in it? or is it a folder of folders?  i'm working on a "all folders" below option for 1.0.7 if that is the case.

Yes it is a folder of folders.So that would explain it not retrieving them

I tried to run just a movie - DVD VIDEO_TS folder/VOB files but it did not retrieve any results. Do I need to change a setting to get it to search according to the folder name? About half of my rips are in VIDEO_TS format.

Thanx again

is http://code.google.com/p/wdtvlivemetadataloader/downloads/list now the correct place to get the latest version of the App?

[NoSlack913]

No, that is a different application written by another member. the best place to get it is from the first post (I update that everytime... ) but teh url is : (edited to new location) wdtvhubgen.codeplex.com

Great suggestion. never htought of doing that, I'll add it to the roadmap.  just to be clear. you have a full directory of Video_TS (basically a dvd rip) in a root directory called MovieName ... so I would search for the movie name, and drop in an xml and jpg for that movie, but what do you "play" when you click play inside the hub? a video__ts.vob file? becvause I will have to rename that file to the "moviename" for the metadata to work according to hub standards.

thanks

Sometimes I click the VOB and sometimes Its the VIDEO_TS folder.The HUB doesn't play the same files the same way with the VIDEO_TS folders. Seems it plays the VIDEO_TS folder when there is a folder.jpg image. Otherwise it makes me sleect the VOB file. Kind of strange.

I have a bunch of meta data strored on my home server as I use WMC and MediaBrowser everywhere else in the house and some of the images do show up in the HUB.

Not all of my movies are VIDEO_TS. SOme are AVI ( OLD rips ), some are mkv ( BLU RAY rips ) and some are MP4. All of them are stored in the same master folder called "Movies" on the Home Server. My HD movies are in a seprate folder called "HD" and TV series are in another folder called "TV." All of these media folders are in the "Videos" folder on the server. Every moive has its own folder.

Hope this helps

Great description thanks. at the end you say "every movie has its own folder" does that mean every movie you have, or just the video_Ts rips?  thanks.
