"File view with metadata" -- how does this work?
#1
I saw this as an item in the Wiki but there is no info on it yet.

I'm hoping this solves a need I have...

At any given time I have 30ish TV shows recorded from my WMC DVR, in WTV format. I never keep them for more than a week, sometimes a day... but I'd still like to see the episode info (metadata) without messing with importing them into the Library. The file names can be cryptic and seeing the episode info (metadata) would be very useful.

I'm hoping "File view with metadata" would allow me to use the folder view, without scanning them into the library, and view the Metadata for the file by - I know XBMC does not ready WTV file metadata, I'm working on an app to convert the WTV data into XBMC usable NFO files.

thx
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

I believe that just means in Files view, you get to see the scraped metadata that, in the past versions, was only available in the Library view. You still need to add stuff to the library to get the metadata generated.
