Automatic rename and organize (1 Viewer)

[stekre]

Hi!

Just converted from Meedio to Mediaportal, because Meedio has grown to big and it is a headache to configure and make it work. Always a plugin that stops working and has to be fixed. It's so great to use Mediaportal and have everything working in just a couple of days. But there is 2 things I can't find out.

- One of the greatest things with Meedio was that it could organize my files automatically. I had a plugin that monitored a folder, and when a file was dropped in this folder it would rename the file based on a ruleset (regex) and move it to a folder of choice. Is there something like this in Mediaportal, or do you use any other program to organize your files. I would like to have everything automated and organized like I had with the Meedio setup (when it worked).

- I like the blue3 wide skin the best, but I can't find out how i edit the main menu. I just have the standard icons, and can't find a way to add tvseries, moving pictures etc to the menu. It just shows in the regular blue3 menu.

All help is welcome, and for making such a great program!

I guess there isn't any program/plugin doing what Meedio did. I'll make it myself and maybe releasing it here if I invest enough time on it so it's configureable for others as well.

Regarding Blue3 wide, I haven't found any way to edit the menu (basic home if I'm right) other than editing the xml file and make new icons etc. Telling in case someone is wondering

Hi stekre,

As "user" you have only posibility to decide where do you want to have a plug-ins visible, In the "Home" or in the "Plug-ins" menu.
You have also posibility to edit the *.XML files but ist's very complicate.
After installation you see all plug-ins in the "Plug-ins" menu first. In the MediaPortalConfiguration/Plug-ins you can change it to "Home" menu.
MP use *.MPI Plug-in very easy to install, just double click.
Some plug-ins are the *.zip files and you have to copy some files like (*.XML,*.DLL, *.png etc.) to the right folders in the MediaPortal *.XML
