Automatically Adding ISOs to the DB

darylcroft · 2007-04-26, 15:49

Looks like I'm starting to get things set up. I was wondering if there was any way to get Media Portal to automatically scan and add ISO files. If I manually add the name, it searches IMDB and grabs the newest information on the movies and then all I have to do is enter the path to the ISO and everything works perfect and I am able to play them.

If this is possible could someone let me know where I could be gong wrong.

Thanks

MP Setup > Movies > Movie Extensions > [i]add .iso to the list[/iso]... is that what you're looking for?

I've tried that but it doesn't seem to work with ISO files and I'm not sure why. It can add my AVI movies fine like that but not the ISOs

It works for me using VideoLAN player as the external app used to watch videos/dvds...
