BTW, does XMM use IE as directly to show move/series details? If that's the case, it should be possible to make more "intelligent" guis (as in able to react what data is present) by writing a xml page instead of html and aplying on-the-fly xslt transformation to produce final (x)html.
Since no-one else answered, I guess I am doing it myself then;-). I finally gave this a try and found it it doesn't work. It probably would, but XMM seems to filter caed files so that only htm (and likely html) files are shown in the list, no xml-files. Because of this, currently seems impossible to use xml & on-the-fly xslt transformation to create data adjusting card files. Any chance to get this restriction removed in the future versions? |

Hi,
I have just started looking at XMM (for use with Meedio) for my TV Shows.
However, currently I would have to rename all my files, unless there is something I am missing.
My file structure is based on folders/directories
(i.e Drive\TV Shows\Series Name\Season Number\EpisodeNumber.avi)
I cannot see a way in XMM to setup a tag that includes the directories, so that I could automatcially import the Series Name and Season Number. The way I can see of getting XMM to work is to rename all my files so that the series title, season number, etc are all in the actual filename.
Is there anyway to take the tags from the folder names? or are there plans to implement?
Thanks
Darren

I would highly appreciate it if if someone with better skills than me in importing xml into MS Access db would write importer for the xml-structure below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tv_series_metadata>
<metadata_info version="1.0.0">
<update_date format="yyyy-mm-dd"></update_date>
</metadata_info>
<series_info>
<id type="imdb"></id>
<series_name></series_name>
<country></country>
<language></language>
<genre></genre>
<running_time></running_time>
<network></network>
<production_company></production_company>
<similar_shows>

<id type="imdb"></id>

<credits type="crew">

<season_info>
<season_number></season_number>
<synopsis></synopsis>
<credits type="crew"></credits>
<credits type="cast"></credits>
</season_info>
<episodes>
<episode>
<episode_number></episode_number>
<episode_name></episode_name>
<channel></channel>
<first_aired format="yyyy-mm-dd"></first_aired>
<synopsis lang="en"></synopsis>
<credits type="crew"></credits>
<credits type="cast"></credits>
</episode>
</episodes>
</season>
</seasons>
</tv_series_metadata>
The purpose of such importer would be to import metadata info for shows not listed on tv.com. |

So you have to specifically add all the fields that can be called from cards? Instead of being able to call any field with some kind of notation system, like [table].[field]? How about linking between cards, is it possible some way already? If not, do you plan to add that possibility? |

Is it currently possible to access all fields in table Episodes from episodes card? I tried to access fields like Codec, Resolution and Audio codec with no success. Furthermore, is it possible to run queries from screen to create links to other table (such as SELECT * FROM Actors WHERE Name = $CurrentActor$)? I would like to create links from Actors to actor's page as well as from similar shows to the shows in question. |

Now I should have understand: for all Episodes that you have in your Hard Disks /CD /DVD XMM should extract a "frame" of the video and use it as "picture" of the episode.
This sounds really good and nice feature (for movies too). I will start to work on it 
Thank you!

Hehe.. sorry about that.. my last post was a bit vague.
Meedio has a plugin, called movie thumbnailer.. basicly what it does is to create a picture of video file. These pictures is stored in the same folder as the video file, and with the same name
Simpsons - 2x5 - Some Title.avi
Simpsons - 2x5 - Some Title.jpg
All XMM needs to be able to do, is to check if a jpg file with the same name exists, and then add it to that episode :)
Iwe spread the word about the developement of XMM lately over at the Meedio forums. There was a plugin before that did the TV series information grabbing flawlessly, but lately, it has died out. Thats why XMM would be a killer setup, together with Meedio, and the XMM 5.x importer (developed by Tinus)
Thx for all your hard work !
really appreciate it!
best regards

Hi,
Sorry, my english is bad and I am not sure I have understand: the function "movie thumbnailer" of meedio what exactly do? it create only little images of covers?
For episodes, how can I add pictures automatically? by reading it from Hard Disks?
Please let me know, because I really want make this function.
Thank you!

Thx for respons :)
I finally got to try out the fluxxx.net script, and it works, but you cant do multiple imports, and atm. it does not support the covers I have on my site :)
yeah, I know of the manual adding of episode picture... but... having 1964 different episodes.. well.. I dont even want to start ..
dont know how familiar you are with Meedio, but it has a plugin called "movie thumbnailer", basicly what it does, is to create a thumbnail of each episode, named <episodefilename>.jpg (the same as the episodes)
auto add these pictures on import would be a killer feature..

Thank you Richard!
You can add picture to every episode, but manually (in the edit window).
The only problem at this time for episodes added with Hard Disk Scan is that you cannot import information from internet for these episodes. I am trying to find a way.
Bye!

WOW! thx for the beta 4 release!! :)
great to see the tag import was added... works great so far. Is there anyway XMM could import episode images for each episode? (meedio creates a thumbnail of each episode, having a field where the episode image could be would be superb)

I created mockups of how tv screens could look like:

If the data was divided in three levels (series, seasons, episodes) as suggested few posts back in this thread. Seasons/episodes screen shopuls also include technical details (seasons for dvd's and episodes for recorded episodes). |

Fields "similar shows", "director", "writer" and "cast" could do with the handling of pipe (|) characters similarly as it is handled in field cast. |
