Add Video Detail to Imported Videos

Just like the title says. Is it possible to add video detail to imported Video? If so, how? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can add video detail to imported videos. You need to create a video-filename.my or video-filename.properties files with the proper data, and Sage will import that into the database and display it for the imported video.

If you don't want to manually create your own .my or .properties file, you can save the IMDB info into the .my/.prop file using either SageMC or one of JREkiwi's plugins, http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21629 , that will read/write the metadata for you.

BTW: SageTV only automatically imports metadata from .properties files. Importing from a .my file is a customization.
