Metadata in Recorded TV files?

Brocklander · 2005-12-29, 09:27

Does MP save any metadata to its recorded DVR-MS files - like show name, channel, etc?

There is one particular tool that organises DVR-MS files that it has compressed in to folders and renames files by title and episode, but I don't think this works as there is no metadata in the files that MP produces. Is there any way to do this?

Speaking of file formats, are we still seeing a change from DVR-MS (which would make this whole post pointless)?

Hey cool, I just stumbled across the new naming section under TV. Should provide hours of fun setting up new naming and paths 8)

How are you reading the meta-data from a dvr-ms file? can ffmpeg do it?

Thanks, but as you said there is not metadata there containing the show information. Its kept in the SQLite db.

But what I want to know is how does the DVR-MS file link the DB entry to get the description in MP??

Can somebody tell me what the number is after 'p' ?
example = Boomerang_Captain_Caveman_200604131332p4329.dvr-ms
Channel =Boomerang
show =Captain_Caveman
date/time =2006/04/13 13:32
p = ???
It doesnt seem to link to any db records...
