Hey guys,
I was getting frustrated by wanting to switch back and forth between XBMC and Media Browser so I wrote an app to do it for me. Figured I'd share.
It's nothing special just a very simple interface. This is the first app I've ever written so be gentle! haha...but seriously.
You can check it out on google code the name of the app is: ConvertLibrary.
Let me know if you think it's cool or sucks, I'd like the feedback either way.
I looked around for apps that did this but there weren't any dedicated to switching strictly between the two and worked only half way anyway. If I overlooked an app like that please let me know.
Feb 24 2011 – UPDATE:
I enabled the NFO/XML feature. It will only convert some fields because not all are supported in the opposing format. If you have any suggestions of fields I missed, let me know and I'll try to address it asap. Don’t worry you have the option of keeping or deleting the old NFO/XML file! ;–
On another note, if you have more than one trailer in your MB trailers folder you may want to avoid using the trailers feature until I make the deletion of additional trailers optional. Which won’t be long, I'm hoping to release that today yet.
I am also working on sending deleted files to the Recycle Bin instead of deleting them outright. I think I should note that if you're running ConvertLibrary on a network location Windows does not have the ability to delete a file to the Recycle Bin for network files.
Updated screenshot.
Feb 25, 2011 Update:
I added the ability to keep existing trailers when converting from MB to XBMC.
March 1, 2011 Update:
I added support for multiple media locations.
