Media Info Plus - Manage your Movies, Shows, Tunes, NFO and more (Open Source VB.NET)

Great, i'll give it a try and let you know!

Cheers!


***EDIT***

Yep, you were spot on, FileMonkey did exactly what I needed, unchecked the Year filter for Folder names and Voila! Thanks again!

As far as testing though, it's pretty clear that the File mode doesn't work correctly, it makes no change whether I turn the filter on or off!
Cheers again though!

Glad I could help. Hopefully, the file-mode problems don't dissuade you too much from using MIP. I know Fekker was working hard on finalizing that part of the program before some unfortunate circumstances required him to put all his equipment into boxes for a period of time...I'm sure he'll be back in full force in no time at all.

I'm very much sold on the software, just a few things that annoy me, but i'll address them with you guys soon!

Cheers again!

Been using this a while really good - but have never found a setting for trailers? is there one? would be nice to pull the trailer down too.

I don't think that was ever finalized either.

You could try dropping in a URL for the "trailer URL" and seeing what happens there...I think that may be all XBMC needs to be able to play one...

Does Media Info Plus support RMVB? It doesn't seem to be doing anything with Alias on my system, and it is in RMVB.

Last I heard, MIP does not like RM. I have several old South Park Eps, and they don't show up either. As always, I state the disclaimer that I could be wrong, but to my knowledge this is the case.

The easiest solution I could offer would be to make a dummy folder for the RMVB items, and then create ghost files with filename.avi. This will generate the .nfo files and media images...then drop them into the real folder, and XBMC should be all good.

If you have a lot of files, you could copy all of the RMVB's to another folder, batch rename *.rmvb or *.rm to *.avi, then scan. You won't get codec or audio info properly, but you will still at least have the .nfo's and associated files.

How would one use MIP to do the extrathumbs folder along with a few thumbnails? That's the only thing I can't figure out how to do, other than that its perfect.

Again...this is one of those features that was in the works just before Fekker had to go offline. You can generate thumbnails for TV shows using the tools > create thumbnail feature, but it's not implemented for movies AFAIK. Also, the TV thumbs are dropped directly in the season folder, and not in an extrathumbs location as required by Aeon...

Gotcha, I look forward to that functionality - soon as that works it'll be perfect in my eyes
