Collectorz - MovieCollector : MediaLabel field? (1 Viewer)

[TommySharp]

Does anyone know what field in Collectorz Movie Collector would relate to the "Media Label" field?

All my DVDs are backed up and stored on DVD-R discs as Divx file, so I end up with about 4 or 5 films per disc.

In Movie Collector I categorize them using these two fields...

Storage Device = DVDWallet 01
Slot = 001 (My DVD Walltes can hold 100 discs)

Is there any way I can get MyFilms to prompt for the disc and then display these TWO fields so I know where to find the disc?

I can see that I can get it to prompt me for "Media Label" but not sure what field that relates to in Movie Collector..... Plus it'd be great to be able to prompt for more than 1 field?

Actually the Media Label field is empty with a Movie Collector Database. Sorry
I cann add a map between that field and the MC db's storagedevice field. I don't use the MC soft and examples received from users don't use that field.
However, in those files, I cann't find any slot tag ! Can you send me an example of your db as I can see the correct syntax for that ? Is the slot tag a complement info of the strorage Device or is it only for your purpose ? If it's always a supplementary info, we could combine the two informations in the Media Label field :
Media Label = Storage Device/Slot
ex : DVDWallet 01/001

Thanks for the response..

I've attached an example database with just a few movies in it. The tags to look for are....

- <storagedevice>
<displayname>Part 01</displayname>
<sortname>Part 01</sortname>
</storagedevice>
<storageslot>001</storageslot>

They do seem to be listed again further in the XML file. My divx files are listed as being on 1 disc only, however the extra tags may be used for recording which slot a 2nd cd of the movie woudl be in?

The "storageslot" tag does seem to be a complement to the "Storagedevice" tag and they are both standard fields in the MC database.

Your suggestions of concatenating the two fields into the "MediaLabel" field woudl be awesome as then when I chose to play the file it will prompt me which storage device and media slot to get the disc from.

Ok, I'll try to add the storagedevice/storage slot in the medialabel field ? What do you mean when you'll have two discs ? Can you give me an xml example ?

I've attached an example. I think it appears to be more to do with multiple discs...

Any luck with this Zebons?

Yes but it needs time to code...

Hey Zebons,

Don't suppose you made any progress with this?

Zebons, don't suppose you've had any luck with being able to add the "Storage Clot" field?
