Hi and hello,
I want to present my first version of my newly created NFO metadata extractor.
It's really a first alpha release so don't expect wonders.
What does this plugin do?
The plugin is a new extractor for MediaPortal 2. It searches for NFO files which look like defined in the XBMC wiki.
In a NFO file meta data for your movies / series / music videos can be saved so that you don't have to rescrape all your data again. My NFO extractor gives the possibility to retrieve this data from NFO files and write them into your MediaPortal 2 server database.
At the moment the following file types are supported: ts mkv avi mp4 mpeg mpg flv
All other file types especially DVD folders etc. are not supported yet.
How can I install this in my MediaPortal 2 environment?
The plugin is divided into three single plugins:
- NfoMovieMetadataExtractor
- NfoSeriesMetadataExtractor
- NfoMusicVideoMetadataExtractor
To install this plugin only extract the files from the "Nfo Extractors v0_1 Alpha.zip" attachment and copy the folders into your plugins folder in your MediaPortal 2 server folder.
How can I use the extractor?
Create new shares in your MediaPortal 2 user interface and select Movie/Series/Video as Media Aspects.
After some searching on your harddrive the data will be included in your database.
Are there screenshots?
No. Due to the fact that this plugin is working in the background of your server nothing can be screenshoted here.
Feedback?
Sure! I would love to get some feedback. Test it like hell and write what worked and what didn't.
