MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (1 Viewer)

[Todd]

Re: File Naming

- Open the MediaPortal Configuration application, and enter the configuration of the plugin.
- Modify the File Parsing Regular Expressions.

I had the same thought right after posting. I gave it just a quick try and hit an exception.
I grabbed this out of the MyTVSeries.log file...

3/13/2006 11:09:25 PM - Downloading episode summary for Lost Season -1 Episode -1

There's more lines above this; it was actually the second file in the directory that was logged. I'll run it again tomorrow and see if I can grab the exception details next time. I suspect it was my regex - I always have to look those things up.

Also, thanks for the ideas about writing a plugin! I downloaded CVS and the DX SDK tonight, so I'll definately give it a go.

Fantastic plugin

Hi,

Just to let you know that I think this is one of the best plugins available & is the reason why I have moved from MythTV to Media Portal.

Excellent work

Cheers,
Ben

News?

 

[idioteque]

have U seen this plugin:


MusicShareWatcher

Monitors changes to files in the Music Share and updates the database accordingly. Can run as a standalone exe or as a MP Process plugin.

Don't use both or you will get double actions.

MusicShareWatcher.exe and MusicShareWatcherHelper.dll need to be copied to the MP directory. MusicShareWatcherPlugin.dll goes to plugins\process. You need to enable the plugin inside MP Configuration and turn on monitoring in the plugin config menu.

More details, suggestions for improvements, bug reports in this thread:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=13299

perhaps it can be modified to accept movie extentions aswell to automate the importing of files.

Btw I love the plugin only there is 1 thing holding me back from using the damn thing.

importing stuff which is NOT on the tv.com site is a bitch. extra episodes, trailers,previews and prequels etc.

When doing a refresh, I have to ignore/add/remove all those files all over again. and with a lot of series thats a bitch.

So my personal request would be:
Can u make the parser add all the files to the database, even those it cant find on the tv.com website, so I dont have to redo all the extra's etc.

thx

Thanks Ben, I really appreciate you making the switch. Let me know how I can make this plugin better for your setup...

I still have a big to do list. but not long enough for new requests.

 

[WeeToddDid]

Isn't that what already happens. The plugin scan all the files, ignores any file already in the database, and imports the rest.

That is what happens when I import extra video's.

Just tried with 28a, and it went through the whole thing again, meaning it imported all the files again.

Wee, please make this a priority because its unusable if I have to reimport everything all the time.

Thnx

EDIT: correction, I just ran it again and this time it didnt...so, I dunno. But please keep this in mind.

I have added more logging information in version 0.29... trust me, i don't think let downloading duplicate information. If you still think they are... send me your TVSeries.log file.

This sounds exactly what this plugin will do. It will monitor folders and move the imported files to a new folder structure and rename the files to a proper convention.

Im realy impressed with the overall plugin design and the speed of the developement .

KEEP up the good work
