I'm wondering if switching to 4.0 would be a better way to start resolving my issues? I'm always reluctant to start changing things that aren't working yet.... Any suggestions?

Well, maybe i can answer this by saying that no matter what the issues are in 3.x... they will not fixed in 3.x, but they may be fixed in 4.x I can't be certain that the 4.x will fix your problem, and it may even cause more issues... i don't know.

hi.
how i can add support of other language for import data from thetvdb?

thanks

Coming from a country that has 2 official languages...I'm a little embarrassed to say that you can't.

I'm currently looking at how tvdb handles languages, and I'll try to get that feature into 4.0.

Are there any known issues with theTVDB? The site is up, but I have been trying to get metadata for two days with failures.

My BMT 3.0 automatic plugin does not detect appearance of new SageTV recordings. :-( But if I rescan recordings -- detects them correctly and populates metadata (season/episode/etc).

Any ideas why? (fyi -- my recordings directory is on separate HDD and addressed via UNC name, i.e. \\<myserever>\SageTV)

Thanks.

I have periodic issues with tvdb. For the most part it works fine... but I think they they've been experiencing some growth and it's really playing havoc with thier services. TVDB is a free service, so it's hard to fault them for not being able to handle high loads

I'm not sure if UNC paths would cause an issue or not. Basically the automatic plugin is triggered by SageTV, so I would think that it wouldn't matter. Does the automatic plugin work for other media types...ie, if you add a new video to your library and then tell sagetv to "refresh".

Yes, I see it trying... (in web BMT interface I've got couple of "failure" entries related to files I've added to library recently). It just for some reason is not being called for recordings taken from my HDHR. (all directories are UNC paths -- library, SageTV recording dir, fanart dir)

At least you know the automatic plugin is trying... the only thing that I can suggest is that the next time it happens... email me all the logs in your sagetv root folder and I'll try to decipher what is going on. btw... i'll need the complete filename of the failed recording as well.

Well, that is easy -- none of recordings get processed. When I go to webui -- I see messaged about failed lookups for video's I've added to library 2 days ago. But since then dozens of TV recordings happened and none of them seems to have season/episode info (and etc).

I have attached logs, but could find any useful info there...

[MalibuDave42]

I have been recording several shows that each week do not have fan art associated with them nor do they group in the UI with the previous recordings. e.g. Human Target. The current series is Human Target (2010). I can manually match the show to the correct fanart. But each newly recorded show must be manually matched to group is correctly and show fanart. I assume this is because BMT is finding multiple matches. Is there a tweak, properties setting, recording technique, etc. that I could use to have BMT always automatically match these recordings?

Thanks

[medwynd]

I see that BMI supports data from various sources:
* IMDB (imdb, niel's imdb, xbmc's imdb using imdb.xml scraper file)
* TheMovieDB.org
* DVD Profiler (using DVD Profiler's Xml and images)
* Xbmc Sources Using Xbmc's Scraper Language (imdb.xml)
* thetvdb
* MyMovies (Uinsg MyMovies collection xml)

I am just wondering what people seem to get the best results with for art and data?

Is it worth purchasing DVD Profiler when I am only getting data on my current dvd collection which doesn't change very often nowadays, maybe a few movies a year only.

[aedgington]

I'm still having a problem with it defaulting to Big for any movie or tv show. If I manually look up something, it puts "Big" in the title name, no matter what it is.

Also, for tv shows, it doesn't seem to be updating automatically and displaying the art for whatever show I last manually looked up.

???

In bmt 4, you can use the MediaTitles.xml... 3 has something as well... but it's not very reliable.. ie, it only works in some cases.

I personaly just use the imdb and themoviedb providers. The DVD Profiler provider works (i think), and I don't think that the mymovies provider works (I haven't heard of anyone having success with it). I would think that for a current collection, themoviedb probably does OK... although the "quality" of the information you might get with dvd profiler is probably better... plus dvd profiler (and mymovies) are collection management tools (from the very little that I know about them), so they may offer some other benefits.

I wish I had a solution... but unfortunately, this is still an issue in bmt 4 as well, and I've tried about 10 different fixes so far, but they are all not working, since I can't actually narrow down HOW this is happening

[viperdiablo]

So I tried to get metadata/fanart for my backup of Avatar. For some reason I was getting no fanart. I decided to check in my sagemc settings, then extra and options for BMT and check the sources. Some how my sources got deleted. I tried to add new source and there is none to choose from. How do I get these sources back? Thanks.

Are you talking about the metadata providers? ie, tvdb, imdb, etc if so, you can stop sagetv, then edit the Sage.properties and search for "provider" (should be prefixed with bmt/). If you delete the bmt/ properties, then the tool will autopopulate them using the "defaults".

[viperdiablo]

Yes those are the sources I am speaking of. I will try out your advice later today. Thanks.

I also noticed the same issue but had left it alone because I did not notice any major issues with the missing info. I use BMT 4.0 and the providers do appear listed in the webui, I hope it is ok to post this here but if not please feel free to let me know or if the comment above does not apply to BMT 4.0 users.

In any event, I found and deleted the data after the "=" for these lines:

bmt/metadata/defaultProviderId=
bmt/metadata/movieProviders=
bmt/metadata/tvProviders=
bmt/metadata/videoMetadataProviders=

The menu is still empty as per the attached. Suggestions?

Version 4 does not have a STVi import ie, I haven't actually created an import for it, and some of the apis changed from 3 to 4, specifically related to the providers. If you are running 4, then you can configure those in the web ui as well. BTW... it's probably best to remove those keys instead of just removing the data after the =. The import for 3 will not work for 4. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to build an import, since that's not my area of expertise. Tiki has created an import for the default stv that uses the new apis in 4.... any takers on creating a stvi import for sagemc based on the 4.x apis... i can work with someone on this, but I probably won't do it myself.

[Islander]

Ok thanks that is what I thought.

I will know remove completely the4 lines as you suggested. Anything else that would be in the properties file related to BMT that you recommend be deleted?
