[QUOTE="Ronski, post: 1155065, member: 77761"] I'm just in the process of moving from Media Centre to MP1, and wish to move all my TV recordings to MP recorded TV. Having Googled and searched the threads there didn't appear to be an easy/existing way to do this so I've come up with a solution that will hopefully work, although I've done limited testing and am hoping someone can tell me if there is any improvements/problems they can see before I try it on my entire recorded TV. I've attached a ZIP file which includes the following files: [LIST] [*]Base.xml - this is just the base XML file that my program reads and then writes out to the new file with the metadata it's retrieved from the NFO file and the file name. [*]MP NFO to XML Parser.exe - This is a .Net program I've written (I'm no expert) [*]An NFO file produced via MCE Buddy [*]An XML file produced via my program [/LIST] For my program to work you need to extract Base.xml and the exe file to a single folder of your choice, then it's a three stage process. [LIST=1] [*]Convert all WTV recordings using MCE Buddy [*]Convert the NFO files to XML files that MP1 can read [*]Copy the files to MP recorded TV folder and import the recordings via the TV server [/LIST] For step one you need to setup MCE Buddy to use custom file renaming using the following values, and set it up to convert your video files to TS files - I've gone for uncompressed to keep the quality the same. [code]\%network%\%showname%\%showname% - %recordyear%-%recordmonth%-%recordday% - S%season% - E%episode% - %episodename%%recordhour%%recordminute%[/code] For step two you need to run a program I've written, use the browse button to select the route folder that MCE Buddy has created the new files in. Then press the 'Scan folders' button and it will list all the NFO files it finds. Finally press the 'Process Files' button and it will then create the XML files and rename the TS files losing the time appended to the end. If the 'Delete NFO files checkbox' is ticked it will delete them once converted. Step three is to import them via the TV Server. Whilst I'm doing this for WTV files, it should work for any format that MCE Buddy can handle and produces an NFO file. As always please work on a backup of your recorded TV. [/QUOTE]
