Videos I don't want to be scanned at IMDB etc. (1 Viewer)

[NLS]

I have a few hundrends of videos that are not movies, just funny clips etc. How can I make the system NOT scan them at online databases and save (MUCH) time?

 

[smnnekho]

it's recommended to store those in different folders!

you can add them as share but when scanning for updating the database, simply uncheck those "funny-clips" folder

but they are in different folders

ah, you mean in the folders tab in configuration to add them separately (each folder)?

and then tick only the folders with "real" movies?

 

[smnnekho]

indeed, or at least make one folder for real movies and one folder for funnymovies that you can seperate. it doesn#t really matter how many subfolder there are..

ok got it... now to my next question
(will first search and then if I cannot find I will post a new topic)

...subtitles

SUBTITLES

Put them in Movies Folder and just point vobsub to use that one folder, or a subfolder named subtitles, as long as the names are a exact match to the associated video file there should be no problem.

I don't have vobsub installed, I don't like that it's a piece of software 3 years (or 4?) since the last update. Of course the filter is updated, but anyway I had ffdshow already in, so I tried that instead.

Worked fine.

Check for finalising version 1.0 (the version before looking into DVB-S/T solutions) of Giakoumis (my HTPC):

- Check my EPG because I think it doesn't work for channels I DO have data about.

- Fix TV, since it seems to get forced to SECAM (although Greece is PAL only nowadays) and I loose color etc. The worse thing is that I think I DID fix that, but when WebEPG "interconnected" the channels, it messed them up again (strange). Unfortunately channel info is in that database and I cannot touch it by myself.

- Check if things work ok with CDDA (yes haven't tried yet!).

- Check if things work ok with DVD (same!), including subtitles there.

- Check how MP handles CD/DVD images. Is there a way to allow me to mount nrg and mdf files since Daemon Tools allows for that anyway?

- Add some more actions to my (ATI X10 compatible) remote.

- Add games/emulators to my MyPrograms (looks easy enough).

Things that should be simple but weirdly enough are not:

- Find a way to execute 1-2 stand-alone executables from within MP and WITHOUT going into deep menus (so MyPrograms is not the way).

Do not think subtitles have advanced much. :wink:

 

[NLS]

sure

I just don't feel comfortable since everything else has...

(ffdshow itself is rather old right?)
