Project DescriptionTV Meta Data Finder - Open Source
Original Source Developed by Bill Daugherty II, continued work by: Steve Drake
For questions please email tvmetadatafinder@drakey.co.uk
Works Great with Media Browser http://code.google.com/p/videobrowser/ for the Media Center!!!TV Meta Data Finder is a utility used to once replace Sam Saffrons Scraper because at one point the API for thetvdb has changed. (The script tvdb_scraper.rb is found on the site: http://www.samsaffron.com/downloads/2, it was recently updated so its now usable also.)
Features:
- This is a compleate rebuild of the application, everything is faster, and no more hangups
- User interface that allows you to choose the directory of where you would like to start the indexing of your TV Shows
- Works very well with Sams Video Browser (I am also on the development team for that)
- You can choose the format to rename the files as it is being indexed
- Gets the meta data and images for the TV shows
- Adds Banner Art
- NEW!!! Custom file name formats
- NEW!!! Creates a thumbnail image of the video if no images are found on the server
- Bug Fixed: Series.XML to have an attribute of Series instead of Item for its meta data
- Bug Fixed: Hangup issues
Install:
*The .NET Framwork 3.5 is required
*Microsoft .NET Framwork 3.5
Future Additions
- No longer dependent on directory structures for the names of the TV Shows, and the Season just as long as the file contains that data, otherwise it will skip the file.
- Let me know if you have any other suggestions/bugs
