Utility: Batch Metadata Importer 3.x

[ccourtney]

Ok. I think I've isolated the problem. I got both of the movies I was having problems with to successfully process by renaming them so they get a proper hit from themoviedb.org. This meant renaming "National Lampoon's Vacation" to "Vacation" and "Star Wars I The Phantom Menace" to "Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace".

This indicates it may be a lack of suitable hits from themoviedb.org lookup that is causing the null pointer exception.

I also noticed that the DVDProfiler local index is not properly indexing the Original Title either.

I'm having a variation on the problem you guys are describing. I haven't done enough testing to give complete info, but just in case any of this is helpful, here is what I've seen so far. To be sure, this is not a request for help, so please don't feel like you have to waste time helping me sort this out. I offer it as a data point in case it helps you figure out what's happening on your systems.

On mine, only the middle column (Metadata Tools) errors out. It happened with version 3 beta 3, so I updated to beta 4 before any more testing. After the update to beta 4, the status appeared normal. I then initiated a scan from SageMC. When the scan was done, I clicked on status so it would update and that is when my middle column errored out. I tried restarting the sage service (not the server) but that didn't help.

I decided to check out the backup/testing server which never had version 2 on it. The only BMT install on that server was 3 beta 3. After enabling the service, I was able to bring up the status page. I ran a scan via SageMC which took way too little time. After the scan I clicked status to update and lo and behold the center column errored out. I updated to beta 4 and the UI status page appeared normal. I started a scan which this time took much longer. After the scan was done I clicked on status and all 3 columns updated, but the Metadata Tools column still indicated that I had not done a scan since 1969. Now as I type this I just checked the status and it has now errored out the center column again. Restarting the Sage Service does not restore the center column.

edit:
Since disabling and re-enabling the Sage service one more time on the backup server, I can't seem to kill the UI now. I've initiated library scans from the UI, from the HD200 extender, from a client session on the server and from the MVP, and the UI always displays a good 3 column status screen now. I have no clue what has changed except for the disable and re-enable. I'll switch back to the main server later and see if I can repeat this. more to come...
(end update)

I haven't spent enough time looking at the logs to understand much of what the logs are telling me. If you guys want to point me to a specific type of entry in a log, I'll go take a peek. If you want to see my logs for yourselves, let me know which one(s).

Here's my info:

I use MediaScraper to put everything in its proper place and properly name all my files.  I have MediaScraper setup to NOT create properties files.  This allows me to monitor BMT to see if it has created a properties file for any given media file.

I don't think this is a jetty issue or I suspect it would be all or nothing.

I am also experiencing the "Failed to get status for: Metadata Tools" error now. I have a nearly identical setup to rmac321...main differences being that I'm running Java 6 update 13 and my max Java heap size is set to 768MB. The BMT automatic stuff was working great with BMT 3.0 beta 4 until I did a full library rescan...Detailed Setup->Advanced->Rescan Existing Library Files->Rescan Now. Now the middle column of the BMT jetty page errors out with the failed to get status message. It appears that the automatic stuff is now broken, but in the SageMC UI Video menu I can still use Edit Video Info to have BMT get Metadata/Fanart and then initiate a library rescan from the Video menu to get SageTV to import the metadata. A restart of the SageTV Service also did not clear up the error for me. Just prior to the full library rescan, I did update Nielm's IMDB .jar file and restarted SageTV...not sure if that did something or not.

The only thing I can add is the snippet from the SageTV debug log that shows the related jetty BMT error:

Just for kicks, try disabling and re-enabling the Sage Service to see if that makes a difference. I just edited my post and added that after disabling and re-enabling, I can't get it to error out now.

ccourtney, rmac321, robogeek, thanks for the great info.

robogeek, based the exception that you posted, I was able to track down an issue. I've uploaded a beta6 that captures the root issue and logs it. So while I can't actually fix the issue yet, the next time it happens, I should have a better idea as to why it is happening.

[rmac321]

Sean,

What's the expected format for the "Ignore These Folders" field? \\server\folder, //server/folder, "\\server\folder", \\\\server\\folder, or something else?

How should each entry be seperated? commas, semicolons, other?

I note a few errors in my logs from that field.

Thanks

[Ender]

Once I do, it goes to the page, but then gives me the status errors.

The following fixed it for me:

Code:

<Set name="extractWAR">true</Set>
<Set name="copyWebDir">true</Set>

Then in the jetty/webapps/ dir delete the bmt dir and restart sage server. That should extract the web application properly. Don't delete the bmt.war, just the bmt dir.

That field is a regular expression. So if you want to ignore a "Test" folder and a "Dummy" folder, you could enter just...

Test|Dummy

What the code does is look at the complete path and do a contains match (sort of). So, the above express would match on...

\\server\Test
\\server\somedir\Test
\\server\MyTestFolder

If you want to be more explicit in your matching, then you can enter the full path, but ALL bmt paths (with the exception of fanart folder) is URI based, so you can enter...

//server/Test|//server/Dummy

The pipe (|) is an "or"

EDIT: I'll have to verify that this is still used in 3.x... I may not be implemented yet. But it is implemented in the 2.x builds

[rsagetv99]

Not sure about everyone else, but my problems were resolved with beta6.

Thanks Sean!!

[bluenote]

I can't seem to figure out, between reading the documentation, and the install instructions, whether I do, indeed, need Jetty. The last time I installed this it was , I believe, just an import of the stvi (even though Im running sagemc?). But this was before it could handle metadata through the gui. (So I know there is some STV integration... which begs the question.. why would I need jetty)

Can someone clarify for me?

thanks

Jetty is not essential, but highly recommended. It surfaces the settings in a GUI and makes sure they get written to the correct place.

[sflamm]

Sean,

There are several DVDProfiler fields being used by SageTV users that you should take into account:

1. DVD Title - this is the title displayed under the Videos Library. The name is also often the name of the folder the movie is stored under (but it doesnt have to be stored under this - see #2)

2. Original Title - this is not used for display. It can be used as the name of the folder storing the movie -- this allows the folder name to be different from the DVD Title (often used to make sure folder names do not have special characters in them, which the title can)

3. Discs - this is used to store box sets in directories. i.e. "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Disc 1"

in the collections.xml look for the xml format:

<DVD>
<Title>Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring</Title>
<Discs>
<Disc>
<DescriptionSideA>Disc 1</DescriptionSideA>
<DescriptionSideB/>
...
</Disc>
<Disc>
<DescriptionSideA>Disc 2</DescriptionSideA>
<DescriptionSideB/>
...
</Disc>
</Discs>


This indicates that the movie is stored on 2 discs under a directory called "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring". The subdirectories are called "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Disc 1" and "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Disc 2" respectively.

You will need to know these titles to match box sets and to write the meta data so that SageTV will display the box sets correctly --> the meta data title needs to be "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Disc 1" and "Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Disc 2" respectively. With the DVDPro2Sage plugin installed these show up correctly as box sets in SageTV.

Let me know if you have any questions -- I hope my explanation is somewhat clear)

I have a question. Is there a way to force the tool to use the Title of a movie in Sage, rather than the filename to search?

Maybe something like:
If ${filename} search returns null
search based on ${title}
Fancy coding right?

But you get the idea...

Maybe it does this already, but I am thinking it doesn't, since movies that I recorded in Sage are not matching anything, but when I use SageMC's IMDB lookup, they match 95% of the time.

I installed the latest beta yesterday. I tried and tried, but I can't get the jetty status page to fail out again like it did before. I'm still rearranging my DVDs, imported movies, and recordings and updating metadata and fanart. So if the jetty status page gives any failures, I'll report them here.

[stuckless]

@sflamm - Thanks for the DVDprofiler info. I am actually considering just using the DVDProf2Sage class, and skip the index/search model that bmt uses, since for BMT, it would appear that everying will be an exact match anyways. I just have to see if DVDProf2Sage supports accepting a File or Uri for the video file.

Maybe it does this already, but I am thinking it doesn't, since movies that I recorded in Sage are not matching anything, but when I use SageMC's IMDB lookup, they match 95% of the time.

It actually uses the Title now. The problem is that bmt doesn't know that a recorded movie is a "movie" and it treats it as a recorded TV show. As a result when bmt does the lookup, only tvdb handles the query, since that is the only provider that can handle tv. BMT doesn't bother passing it to imdb or tvdb, since those providers don't handle tv.

I made a recent change in the phoenix api to set the media type of Movie for recorded movies. This was done so that fanart could be assigned correctly to recorded movies. I need to pull that logic into the core bmt search factory as well.

@robogeek - glad it's working

[bluenote]

I've installed this following the instructions as closely as I could,
and, while I've used the command line tool for a long tiem successfully, I'm not getting anything out of trying to use it in 'automatic mode'. (I note that I'm not using Jetty).

I've imported and re-imported video library files, and no metadata shows up for them. I've tried through the UI, in sagemc, doing (from video info),
"Options" , "Metadata/Fanart", which brings up a "MetaData/Fan Art Search" dialog, but which only has the option of 'close'.

I assume this means something is not working, but Im not sure what its supposed to look like and/or how to manually test.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I've imported and re-imported video library files, and no metadata shows up for them. I've tried through the UI, in sagemc, doing (from video info),
"Options" , "Metadata/Fanart", which brings up a "MetaData/Fan Art Search" dialog, but which only has the option of 'close'.

I assume this means something is not working, but Im not sure what its supposed to look like and/or how to manually test.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

What SageMC version are you running?
What BMT version are you running?
What SageTV version are you running?

When you installed it, did you install sagemc, and then install the bmt package?

Are you testing this from a client or placeshifter? if a client, do you have bmt installed and configured on the client?

Hi all,

Well I took your advice stuckless and started playing around with the command line options, getting much better results now, thanks for the tip.

I have set it to run on one drive which has about 330 DVD Rips in it.
It went through and completed about 250 of them and seems to have stopped and reports "processing failed" see log for details..

I have had a bit of hunt around but I have been unable to find the log files??

Any pointers on where to look?
