Any well to tell when Sage Is importing new media?

Be careful when you use this method because if you start calling MediaFileMetadata apis on this newly added file, then it may trigger sagetv to call your plugin again, and result in an endless loop. (bmt 3.0 had that issue)

Okay reopen this can of worms I got myself into . I was running my own background thread and it was working fine except for I ran into some issues when MyMovies added a movie before it got imported into sage. So My question is I know Andy mentioned there was a fork to see what Files where just imported but when using the mediafile_metadata_parser_plugin method is there a way you tell which mediafile is being imported at that time?

Maybe I don't understand your process... but couldn't you just call AddMediaFile from your MyMovies process to ensure that the item gets added to sagetv?

You know I didn't even think of that one

Thanks Sean.
