I don't know what you mean by Media. But if you want to add information from internet to each episode from internet I am also with you. I am writing two times about that problem but no reply.

Sorry guys for my late reply, but I was out these days.

Kojiro at this time is not possible add the "Media" to an episode, but I am working on this. You will be able in future to add episodes to a TV Serie by reading files from Hard Disk or CD/DVD

Jorshua, I will try to add also this.

Thank you!

Sounds great Alessio :)

when this feature is added to XMM v.5, to allow import of TV series through HDD scan.. could a tag import feature (much like the one in meedio) be supported in XMM aswell?

like:

<Seriesname> - <seasonnumber>x<episodenumber> - <episodename>.avi
Lost - 2x14 - One Of Them.avi

that way some of the fields can be pulled directly from the naming of the file :)


just an idea, and thanx for an excellent software.. cant tell you how much I depend on it :) thx again!

I made some adjustments to TV series screen. It looks very close to similar that original BlueWorld with the following changes:
-video quality and audio quality are imho season/episode level info, not series level info. For this reason, fields for those are hiiden
-font is slightly larger
-cover image is twice as large
-under the hood there are lots of changes that imho make the template easier to manage. For example table structure is heavily altered and also somewhat simplified. Furthermore the template now uses (embedded) css styles instead of font-tags (font tgas are not part of the current html versions at all). Also, the file is xhtml.

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.

edit: added episodes screen as well.
edit: screens included with version 5.3 build 3

I am currently considering what to use for management of my tv-series. So far XMM seems like a promising candidate although it still leaves plenty room for improvement.

So far the best system to manage tv-series I've come across to was Meedio's TVOD-plugin. Unfortunately that relied on grabbing the data from www.tvtome.com thqat does not exists anymore (it was replaced by www.tv.com). The plugin never got repaired. Instead it got replaced with mmtvshows plugin, that is not bad either, but importing speed aside, is not up to TVOD level feature-wise.

So here are what I currently miss the most:
1) Importing tv-series does not add actors into actors database.
2) Actors and series/episodes are not linked. I feel that it should be possible to link actor on series page that would take me to actor's page that would list everything on which the chosen actor has appeared. Furhermore, the listing should be active as well (meaning that all the series/,movies that are present in my collection) would be linked as well. Dvdprofiler has that linking part covered, however, it does not store any other data for actors.
3) TV series should have field "exists in collection" etc. It is quite typical to record running tv-series. However, it is unfortunately not unheard of to miss some episodes. For that kind of cases I would like to be able to download all the info but be able to set status as "missing" so that it would be easy to see that I don't have that particular episode.
4) As TV series are typically released as season boxsets, so some mechanism to handle dvd releases is pretty much must for me. It should be possible to set all the same features that are available for movie dvd's for tv-dvds as well (meaning, aspect ratio, audio streams, susbtitle streams, number of discs, extra features, cover images etc.). So for boxsets, these info should be season level info. For recorded episodes, however, that info would have to be episode level

The way I see it, the info should be divided into several db tables to consist of:
-series level data (image, cast, plot, etc.)
-season level data (season plot, this is actually more or less the same as release data)
-episode level data (guest starts, plot etc.)
-actors (this would be common for both tv series and movies)

Ideally I would like to have gui build so that series would have "homepage" much like movie card. That would be whole page, not divided between series and episodes like is currently the case. On the series page there would be link to seasons and from seasons to episodes.

Hi Willo,

Thank you for your suggestions!

I need to work very much on TV Series, I have tons of ideas and features to implement in future releases.

If you have more ideas please write it freely.

Thank you,

Sure. Besides the ones listed above, one of the most frustrating problem with Meedios otherwise pretty good tv management functions was tthat is was seriously lacking for management of series that are not loisted at www.tv.com, most obviously all non-English series. My approach for this was to create bunch of xml-files by hand, then create tagmanipulationscript to import that (not too nice at all). However, some system like this might be mandatory, otherwise every user has to input data by hand. I am partial to some kind of file based system, as it makes it possible to swap data between users by sending the files.

If that kind of feature is implemented, I believe that the only "correct" way of doing it is to have script (stored in file) that holds rules how to store data into db so that you have pairs db field - xpath expression. That way it is easy to adjust the system to accept different xml structures.

One nice feature available in Meedio was series banners (http://www.fluxxx.net/banners/, I believe the site is hosted by T0ffluss, who apparently posted on this very same thread few posts back.) Obviously it would be easy to adapt the use of those right now by just manipulating series card html-page acvcordingly.

To make it possible to really transfer data between different installations of Extreme Movie Manager, I feel that there n eeds to be external id system for series and people, if we use internal id, same series will have different names in different installations. This is especially big problem for peopl, where name alone is not nearly enough for reliable identification. For this reason, I think that XMM should use imdb's id too identify series and people. This way is would be easy to match updated stuff to existing data even between different installations.

I will start to work soon on all your suggestions.

Thank you!

Two more suggestions;-) Since it is possible to use several importers (and sometimes there might be need to rerun importer to update data, I feel there should be ability to
-set importer to update mode (which would update existing data instead of creating new entry
-set importing preferences so that you could combine data from several sources (like get credts from imdb, episode plot from tv.com and banner from fluxx.net. As of now, this is partially doable with importer opions)

I created two new screens. Series screen now uses banner from fluxx.net. Furthermore I added field for country and vertical line between side bar and main content area. Also the file structure has been further xhtml'ised by getting rid of local formatting and replacing them by css and also table structure has been simplified further.

I used tv-com script to populate data for testing the adjusted screens. It seems that it does not import:
-all actors (severasl listed under castt at www.tv.com were missing (for example Janel Moloney, Mary McCormack and Richard Shiff)
-series plot was not importer
-series genre was not imported
-series country was not imported
-series language was not miported
-series awards were not miported

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

I created mockups of how tv screens could look like:

http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=seasonsscreenil4.jpg
http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=episodesscreenat7.jpg

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).

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)

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!

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..

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!

Alessio
