Recordings Importer 0.1

Just to prove my worth, here is the first beta of my Recordings Importer! Please bear in mind that this is a very early beta and as such has lots of things missing. It shouldn't break your system but don't blame me if it does! BACKUP your database first.

This does not yet have TS/XML Support. At present it only deals with dvr-ms, this is coming soon, very soon. It uses default content for a few of the fields (namely, the genre is "imported recordings", channel is 1, keepuntil is 0, keepuntil date is 01/01/2000 12:00:00, timeswatched is 0, idserver is 1 and stoptime is 0). Not being a longtime MP user I don't know what some of these fields do so if someone could furnish me with this information it would be most helpful. The ones i'm a little stumped on are stoptime and the values that should go into keepuntil.

Also, does mediaportal not have a subtitle/episode title function?

I have only tested this on recordings from windows media center. As dvr-ms is a standard, the meta-data *should* be the same for other programs but I don't yet know.

Let me know what you think if you do test it. This is really more to prove that I can backup my words until I actually finish the tool.

oh and BACKUP your database first

Chris
