Preparing all my 'media' for Aeon?

fekker · 2009-03-27 03:49

I figure this is a good thread for this information

MIP (media info plus) generates the media information for your media and add's it to the .nfo file.

cptBry worked out the details on xbmc side, and we worked out what fields and data to put into the .nfo

I have also sent the required code to Media Companions author so the .nfo's are created the same as what the hd flaggin is looking for. It's also on sourceforge as MIP is open source.

Each video stream, audio and subtitle stream's data is written to the .nfo for movies and tvshows.

Here's what the "fileinfo" looks like in the .nfo for xbmc
The language is the 3 digit code

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<movie xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <fileinfo>

    <lastupdate>2009-03-24T20:11:06.53125-08:00</lastupdate>

    <version>1.2</version>

    <streamdetails>

        <language>eng</language>

        <codec>DTS</codec>

        <channels>6</channels>

        <bitrate>1 536 Kbps</bitrate>

      <subtitle>

        <language>deu</language>

      </subtitle>

      <subtitle>

        <language>eng</language>

      </subtitle>

    </streamdetails>

  </fileinfo>

  <title>WALL-E (HD)</title>

..... more movie details, standard xbmc format ......

</movie>

Can MIP update all your current nfo's with that video resolution and audio details without overwriting the existing data in the nfo? I've spent a fair amount of time updating some movie titles, plot synopsis, etc. and really don't want to lose my customized info.

Yes it can, you just select 'Auto Pilot' and then 'Update Media Information Only!'.

Hopefully AEON can use this info and save everyone having to rename all their movies. Shouldn't be too hard as it already gets the Studio and MPAA Rating from them.

Awesome! I've been using MediaCompanion but I'll be giving MIP a try now.

Yeah, I'm definitely not interested in renaming all my media. I like them being nice and simple like "Hitman (2007).mkv".

But does Aeon grab the studio and rating details straight from the nfo or does it use that data because it's been scanned into the library?

That info will be scanned to the database anyway.

Has that made it to SVN?

My mistake, the extra info the MIP adds to NFO files does not get scanned to the database at this moment in time.

You guys were right about the image looking blurred, turns out it was the Largeimage control causing the problem -

Here's the result -
