Hi guys. Perhaps someone can help me out with this.
I have used this cool plugin to generate nfo files and copy folder and backdrop images also.
(using the settings %Filename%-covers.jpg etc)
Everything has created fine.
My issue is importing into moving pictures.
I have set the the importer to look locally via XBMC(local) for film, cover and backdrop.
When I run the import it finds all my files as they all say detected as getting data from local.
But to me it looks like it is still getting all the artwork from the web. as the network trafic is high and its taking a really long time to complete.
Where as if it was just copying in the local art it should be quick as a whip to import.
I have ticked the boxes on the importer setup tab to say look locally for covers and backdrops. and I have even added in the field of types to look for both %Filename%-covers.jpg and %Filename%-backdrop.jpg. But whatever I do seems to make no difference and its going online to retrieve this extra data.

Am I doing something wrong? I am using Media portal 1.3 alpha. Perhaps thats the issue?

Hi,

have you set it up like this?

Only local date must be active.

AH! no.. I didn't try it like that..
I tried it with XBMC and Local each at the top of the list. But I didnt disable all the other sources as well.
I really don't know why I didn't think to try that.
I ended up letting it get the images from online in the end. took a couple of hours.
At least it got the movie info from the nfo though which saved me hours of certificate and sort order work.
And I now know how to do it should it need doing again.

Thank you ever so much for the reply.

Hi,

Is it possible to get .nfo files that are compatible with My Videos as well as Moving Pictures? I love to use IMDB++ scraper to get localized results as no Swedish scraper exist for My Videos, and then I export them to .nfo files with MovPicNFO and run an import in My Videos using it's NFO scraper. But there are some stuff that doesn't work so well here. Genres in Moving Pictures use | as a separator meaning that multi-genres like |Adventure|Comedy|Family| get bundled together in a way that makes them unusable for filtering within My Videos. A better way would be to use this format:

<genre>Adventure</genre>
<genre>Comedy</genre>
<genre>Family</genre>

AFAIK, Moving Pictures can use the above format as well, and making this application much more user-friendly (I've tried to get filtering working inside My Videos for the last two days now ). See here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...please-teach-me-how.114070/page-2#post-935899

Yes this idea would be very helpful.

Question:
How can i get the "watched" status in the main nfo file?
My problem ist that the myvideo nfo scraper doesnt recognize the watched status. Does it reads the ...WatchStatus.xml?
All my movies are unwatched...

 

[MaxMan23]

The myvideos nfo scraper does not read the WatchStatus.xml. So can you add it to the main nfo file please to get a standard way over all systems (xbmc, mp, ...) to export movie data

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<movie>
........
<watched>false</watched>
<playcount>0</playcount>

Hi,
...

<genre>Adventure</genre>
<genre>Comedy</genre>
<genre>Family</genre>

I have added this feature, but MovPic cant recognize this format ?!
This is implemented in the attached beta, so you can test it.

The myvideos nfo scraper does not read the WatchStatus.xml. So can you add it to the main nfo file please to get a standard way over all systems (xbmc, mp, ...) to export movie data

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<movie>
........
<watched>false</watched>
<playcount>0</playcount>

I added the <watched> to *.nfo file.
<playcount> does not exisist in MovPic DB or i didn't find it.


by the way:
How i can setup MyVideos to use the *nfo files?
