Is it possible?

Hi Zebons....Great Plug-in!!!

One question:
Is it possible inside MP with my remote and sitting in the comfort of my couch , setting a movie as “watched” and adding a value to the rating so that it is updated immediately??

I searched all post but not found this function…remember I am looking to do this without using ant catalog in windows but doing it inside MP with this great plug-in…is this possible??

Thanks in advance and congratulations for this work

zebons,

Maybe you could update your wiki link in the first post in this thread as since InfinityLoop's been cleaning, the original link is moved to your above one. (Just stops people going to the create page bit in the wiki.)

I've added a changelog to the wiki and updated the discussion links, I'll see if I can update some more over the next week or so.

Yes it is with the update button function on the detailed screen.
For the rating it's a standard choice in the update Menu. for the watched you have to add it in the setup with the Ant Updating Item group, add Checked in the ComboBox , give a label associated - watched for example - and a default value. In that case, it's a boolean value so you can put here true.

Tried using the "watched" setup and can't seem to get it to work. Where is the "watched" status supposed to be displayed? When exporting from ant to xml, should movies be checked or unchecked? Thanks for a great plugin and any help getting this working for me.

There isn't a "watched setup"....
With that plugin you can modify some items of your ANT database directly in MP with the UPDATE button on the detailed screen (bacarefull to add the corresponding string in your string.xml to have a label on that button search 79861 in the wiki).

You already can update two items :
- rating
- file name of the movie

But you can add two supplementaries items thar you want to manage for your own needing. And you do it in the plugin setup with the "Ant Updating Item" group. Here you have to add items that tou want to have possibility for updating in MP.
So here add : item "Checked" in the ComboBox , give a label associated - "watched" for example - and a default value. In that case, it's a boolean value so you can put here "true".
Please take a look on the Wiki, there is an example in the screen copy.....

I see two problems with your configuration :
search path for file read : is the default path for your movies files (avi) and not the path for the AMT XML file
The medialabel content for your movie isn't good. You have to specify here the filename of your movie (complete path or not).
For example F:\avis\a scanner darkly.avi or a scanner darkly.avi but in that case you must put F:\avis in search path for file read
