manually edit video metadata

[loomdog32]

Is there anyway to manually edit video metadata?? I am currently doing an IMDB search and importing just the description (already have cover art) manually for each video.....

There is just 1 problem (other than being time consuming, which is my fault as I want to do each manually)..

Its not pulling the Rating!?!

Is there a way to manually add this metadata?!? or edit existing metadata?!?

You could use the web server to edit metadata.

You're missing out if you haven't been using the web server add-on.

Here's a writeup I did on the web server. It's a must-have add-on for SageTV.

And you can read a bunch more about SageTV, Add-ons etc here

How do I edit the metadata in Sage Web Server? I'm running version 2.22 and currently staring at at the Detailed Information screen for a DVD of mine. If I wanted to edit the metadata, how what I do it? I don't see a link any where on the page to edit the metadata.


Thanks in advance.

Sorry,
I thought you could edit metadata for all files, but it looks like you cannot for ripped dvds. If you have a video file (videos or tv shows) like a mpeg or divx file you can select the "edit show info" and edit anything listed in there.

the IMDB search is pulling all the metadata except for ratings and I was hoping for an easy way to manually edit the metadata to add that info....

I originally tried DVD Profiler, but had an issue using that with a large movie collection..

The Batch Metadata Importer does pull down the user ratings, based on my files.

For example:
_userRating=6.9/10

I tried using that, and yes it did pull ratings.. But the formating didnt play nice with SageMC (clumped all the genres into 1 genre field, actor info was "wierd")..

If I was using the default STV, I would be having 0 issues at this point and have MORE data avail

I would be nice if there was a STVi for MC that allowed for TRUE actor/character name/director search functionally - If this already exists, AWESOME.. just point me in the right direction
