I have MediaCenter Master (metadata collector) installed on my other Windows 7 PC and use it to gather all the METADATA for the movies in the collection on that machine. All my movies are in separate folders with the name of the movie (i.e. Titanic (1989) ) It finds the IMDB data for the file and puts backgroud art, and metadata for the movie, actors, synopsis, etc in that folder and then Windows 7 Media Center shows me all this stuff.
I have run the feature in the MP Config Tool and had it go out to the IMDB EN 1.2 site and it pulls all the same stuff down and I can see it in the Edit DB feature - but none of it shows when I am in the MP software under VIDEOS.
I have three folders under the VIDEOS folder on the HTPC (MKV, MP4 & MPG) under those are the same folders {movie_title (year)} with the individual files for the movies in them.
When I start MP and go to MY VIDEOS, I see the three folders (not liking this, but for the moment....dealing with it), and when I choose one...I get the folders pictures (they are correct as there is a folder.jpg in each of them), but when I choose the movie...rather than startting the movie, I have to navigate the move and start it....but none of the METADATA is displayed at either location. Am I missing something? Why is it in the DB, if I cannot see it?
What is the best way to do this so that I can use/view the metadata that is being pulled down? and get the movie to start by simply choosing it from the first list?
How would I get a differnt icon (than the Blue MP icon) that shows when I am looking at the MY VIDEOS folder with the three sub folders (MKV, MP4 & MPG) - also when I choose one of those - I see the same blue MP icon?
Thanks all for your help in advance.
