Utility: Batch Metadata Importer 3.x

The differences in how 3.0.2 and 3.1 handle metadata, especially in the webui, are too numerous to explain

In reference to what you stated that SageTV saves the relative path in the title and from what I gather essentially hides it when it is displayed in the STV. What appears to be happening to me in reference to 3.1 is that the relative path is being removed from from the Title in the wiz.bin.

That is correct, in 3.1, the Title is set as just the Title.

Would this not also affect the default STV?

Nope. The default STV uses a completely different algorithm for creating it's filesystem view.

Hey Guys,

There is a new SageMC pre-release available here. This should fix the file system view problem that was exposed by BMI v3.1.

Aloha,
Mike

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your help on this.

Asking the question again.

I'm using your very cool BMT tool as follows:

java -jar MetadataTool.jar --offline --metaDataOnly --provider=tvdb "cornergas-pilatesclub-000000-0.avi" and on some uses, it says "Skipping... Nothing found for Query" and it gives "q=quit, n=next" etc.

Is there a command line option to tell it to not ask the user, and just skip to next on all errors, such as -f in *nix?

Thanks,

- SageTV latest 6.6.2.208
- download Jetty 6.1.20 - launch the Jetty Service from the \bin directory
- I can connect to Jetty using http://192.168.1.xxx:8080/
- shutdown Sage
- place the BMT files in the root SageTV directory
- place the Sage Jetty server files in the root SageTV directory
- relaunch SageTV
- Connect to http://192.168.1.xxx:8080/bmt

I see the following error... Not sure if I've configured Jetty properly but it seemed to be working as far as getting the test posting being displayed. I'm guessing that I messed up something at the bmt installation...

But my steps should be following: http://code.google.com/p/customsaget...adataImporter3

I have an interesting problem. I have a few tv shows that bmt will find info for some of the episodes in a season, but not others. They are all named in the same way. What's up with that? BTW I am using the latest version of bmt.

[can3gxw]

Can anyone tell me if BMT can pull the metadata for a Sage Recorded show that has been converted? I would like to be able to archive some recorded shows to another folder on my HTPC (not the Sage Recordings folder, but rather another folder by series), but BMT does not seem to be able to pull the data for me.

I recently recorded Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods (great show if anyone hasn't seen it), and converted it (using Sage transcode) to an AVI, keeping the same files names, etc...

When BMT scans my TV Shows folder where this lives, it doesn't do anything with it and the GUI shows me

(1) Failed MediaFile
BizarreFoodsWithAndrewZimmern-BestBites-173758-0.avi

This is the first show I tried to run through BMT like this, so maybe this particular episode was not found in the TVDB? Not sure... I am trying some other shows later today and will look them up manually then throw them in the folder to check, but I thought I'd ask here first since there's no reason to keep trying something if it isn't supposed to work anyway.

Thanks folks! Sean - keep up the great work - I can't live without this now and the WAF keeps going up!

BTW - I am running the latest SageMC release as well as BMT 3.1

Sorry... I must have missed your question. You can try, "Band of Brothers CD1". If these are DVD folders, then I'm not sure if bmt will do multi dvd sets. I did add support for multi cd avis, but I don't know off hand if that translates over to multi volume dvds.

I think you are looking for --prompt=false

It would appear that the bmtweb app is not being picked up by jetty. When you extracted the bmt application, did it put the bmtweb.war in the jetty/webapps/ directory. When you browse the jetty/webapps directory, is there a bmtweb.jar and a bmtweb/ directory. Try removing the bmtweb directory (not that war, and restart sage)

depends on how bmt is attempting to find the info. if, it's using season and episode, then it's more reliable. If it's using only titles, then it's a little less accurate. Post a filename that fails and I'll do some testing. Also, you can try clearing out the cache/url directory and try again.

If the episode is in thetvdb then it should work. If the episode is in thetvdb and it's sitll not working, then let me know, and i'll run some tests.

You seem busy. I figured it was just an oversight. I was the person that added multi-disc dvd support to the DVDPro2Sage class and it was a pretty big hit. Adding some support to BMT that would Automatically add "Disc #" to the title based on the name of the video file/folder would be much appreciated by many people. You could do this in a generic fashion because I know you have adding mutli-dvd support to the dvdprofiler import on your issues list. It could easily be handled for all imports.

I did try multiple combinations of CD1, S01D01, _1, but none seemed to work for importing a DVD folder. I suppose I could just look through your code to see how it's done but I've gotten lazy in my old age.

Thanks, but I think I figured it out. For some reason I have been unable to access thetvdb.com. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah, on a few other forums members mentioned tvdb being down.

I have a suggestion for the web interface. Allow the Enter key to initiate the search. Having to go between keyboard and mouse so much is a waste of hand movement.

I agree. It's been added as an issue.

It is up... but it does seem to be very slow.

At one point I was considering just using the DVDPro2Sage as a provider... but bmt and dvd2pro2sage uses different approaches for finding matches. I think dvd2prosage uses a file path/name matching whereas bmt uses a title matching. I have been planning some changes to the bmt search scanner that would make this integration easier, but it still a little ways off. And, of course, you are always welcome, and encouraged, to look at the code and make enhancements
