@ Apachehaovk :

@echo off
for %%a in (*.*) do (
md "%%~na" 2>nul
move "%%a" "%%~na"
)

Just copy this into a text file and rename it to a .bat extension. You will place the .bat file into the directory containing your movie files and then double-click it. It will automatically create a new folder of the same name of each of your movie files and then move that file into it. Voila! If you have any subtitles that are named the same as your video files, they will get moved into the same folder as well (any file of the same name will, actually). So if you have a movie called The Transporter.avi, a The Transporter.srt subtitle file, and a The Transporter.jpg image file inside your Movies directory, when you run the script all three files will be moved to Movies\The Transporter directory.

I'll be honest, I felt the same way you do with the 1 folder containing all movies and thought that the individual folder was the "stupidest fucking idea ever." Yet here I am with my collection sorted into their own folders! I must say it is totally worth the work that I have put into it! I don't have 46tb of movies, but the outcome would be so much better! I know it's just personal taste, but it has been in my experience an easier way to go if you just follow the wiki.

Edit: That script took approx 10 seconds to work with 3200 movies

Did that work out for you?

I absolutely LOVE the VideoExtras plugin! It's my primary reason for moving back to XBMC after struggling for over a year with MB3's poor handling of extras.

On to my question: Is there any skin other than Aeon Nox Gotham 4.1.9.9 (for Gotham 13.1), that indicates the presence of extras on the movie or TV show list? That is... built-in support, without editing xml files? I have no problem editing them... I just don't want to have to constantly redo them when the skin is updated.

Hi Pagali,

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not completely sure if any other skin supports the "overlay" support fo rhighlight the existance of extras.

There is always the confluence patch that could be applied - confluence is "normally" only updated when XBMC is updated, so you should be OK, and will only need to re-patch confluence after you do an entire XBMC upgrade.

Thanks

Hi Gade,

The TvShowTitle is set for play all:

Code:

# Start by adding an option to Play All
anItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(__addon__.getLocalizedString(32101), path=path)
# Get the first items fanart for the play all option
anItem.setProperty("Fanart_Image", files[0].getFanArt())

if tvShowTitle != "":
    anItem.setInfo('video', {'TvShowTitle': tvShowTitle})

I have also added a change to set the title as well, in case that helps

Code:

if extrasParentTitle != "":
    anItem.setInfo('video', {'Title': extrasParentTitle})

Hope this helps

Hi Rob.

Sorry about the late answer. I have been busy updating Rapier for Gotham.

Thanks a lot for the help and patch once again.

Unfortunately it didn't help and the ListItem.Path and ListItem.TvShowTitle still turns up empty. Also the ListItem.Title doesn't get displayed when Play All is focused.

Let me explain in detail what I do:

I use the ListItem.Path to set a clearlogo, and when Play All is focused, no image is displayed.

I use the !IsEmpty(ListItem.TvShowTitle) to set the TV Shows breadcrumb and the IsEmpty(ListItem.TvShowTitle) to set the Movies breadcrumb. But when Play All is focused, the Movies breadcrumb is displayed at all times (which means the ListItem.tvShowTitle is empty at all times).

But actually it's not a problem for now. I have removed the Movies and the Tv Shows labels from the breadcrumbs. It probably wouldn't be ideal anyway, as I also need a breadcrumb for Music Videos, but I can't think of a way to determinate the path.

Hi Gade,

I didn't know if you were still looking for this - I think it's possible we were talking about different screens, I was talking about the plugin screen, and I think you were talking about the script generated screen.

Maybe try the following:

Capfuturo just pointed me at the script screen with something that sounded like the same thing you were asking for.

Thanks

Hi Rob.

Thanks a bunch for still looking into this.

We were definately talking about two screens - I am realizing that as well. I was referring to the script generated extras window in the movie or tv show library.

Your patch absolutely did fix the ListItem.TvShowTitle being empty at all times when Play All is focused!

Is it possible to do a similar patch to fix the ListItem.Path also being empty when Play All is focused?

Thanks again!

Cheers
Christian

Hopefully the following patch will do that:

https://code.google.com/p/robwebset/source/detail?r=469

Note: In the case where the Extras are stored on a completely different system (using "Use Custom Extras Location" setting) then this will actually be a "Virtual Path" located under the directory that contained the Movie/TV Show. This is so that addon's like TvTunes can work out relative paths to support playing themes from "parent folders"

Hi All,

With the release of XBMC 13.2 I thought it was time to publish the latest work for VideoExtras. Change log as follows:

Code:

v1.1.5
- Update Playall menu item with Path and TV Show Title
- Update Confluence patch to include Extras icon on Video Info Screen
- Update Confluence patches to Gotham 13.2 (Confluence 2.2.20)
- Set default Icon Image for plugin extras list
- Add scrolling plot to the extras list screen

(Give it a little while to work through the system)

This includes upgades to the Confluence patches to work with the latest XBMC version (also available via the Wiki - Section 10.2)

Enjoy!

Rob

If you post all the graphics you need to look nice, I can have a look when I have some time.

Hi uNiversal,

If you are referring to the overlay images and icons to show that an extra exists - that would be brilliant! (I am rubbish at the graphical design stuff).

The two images used are:

https://robwebset.googlecode.com/svn/tru...y_list.png

Thanks

Awesome Rob. Unless or until someone proposes other icons, in the meantime I corrected the bezel for the overlay_list.png . To match Confluence flags needs a lighter 1-pix bezel at the top, otherwise against the black background looks shorter

Blank 64x48 flag templates:
png format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwsRxYp...sp=sharing
tiff format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwsRxYp...sp=sharing

New overlay_list:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwsRxYp...sp=sharing

Guys you will need to refresh the videos in information screen or delete VideoExtras database, and then restart XBMC so VE can rebuild database on next restart with new icon.

[robwebset]

Thanks Tangata Manu,

I have updated the icon in the source repo.

If you didn't want to lose all the DB information you can delete the following directories to force a refresh of the icons

$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\movies
$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\musicvideos
$userdata\addon_data\script.videoextras\tvshows

Thanks

Rob

[Tangata Manu]

Much better now! Thanks, Tangata.

Im referring to all of them but if these two are all you want you should have them before long, matching confluence of course,
