Heyhey!
Im trying to find a way to get my TV Series's into TV Series without having to manually rename every single file.
Mediaportal records TV for me, and creates a .ts file, and an .xml file. (.xml comes from the EPG I guess).
Unfortunately, I live in a cave and I get pretty average EPG data and my files dont get named with series/episode info - even though it is sometimes present in the EPG data (just in the wrong place).
(Note: All of my content comes from recording live TV, I dont download tv/movies/porn/music/bomb plans etc)
SCENARIO 1: - Can I automagically extract the Season/Episode data from the .xml file and parse in TVSeries?
eg. "./CSI_New York - SE - .ts" and "./CSI_New York - SE - .xml"
./CSI_New York - SE - .xml includes this information...
In this case, TV Series could, conceptually parse the .xml file, or a script could rename the file a using the .xml file to extract the S8E18 data.
Has someone done this? Is there something I can use to accomplish this?
SCENARIO 2: Is there a utility that extract Season/Episode data using the description?
eg. The Big Bang Theory has no S/E data.
However, if I just google using this text, i discover that this is S5E20.
Now all I need is for some smart cookie to integrate this search into TVSeries, and i'll be home 'n hosed!
Am I living in dreamland, or have I just not found the right check box yet?
Edit: If I had a scenario 3 it would be using the actual video in a way analagous to Soundhound / Shazaam
