Not Metagenerator's fault... Looks like the movie-xml.com website is down. I get this error when visiting:

|
|
I saw some postings referring to the movie-xml being replaced by themoviedb.org
Looks like it is up and providing an api to the data (although not ratings just yet)
It also seems that they are tracking all access to their api - not sure whether that would mean each individual of meta generator are going to have to register - or there can be one id for all users of this. |

That only works if the source of the video file is the TiVo and it is only needed if you are going to convert the .tivo to some other video format.
P.S. Any update on a source for the movie data for MetaGenerator? |

I think he's talking about pyTivoMetaThis from this thread:
http://pytivo.krkeegan.com/gmd-s-python-metadata-generator-t17.html
Look near the end of the thread for our fixed versions.
It sure does more than .tivo ...

I am confused. Which post was this in response to? (I cannot find a way to put this forum in thread mode.)
If it was in response to mine the post I responded to was specifically about pytivometagen.
As to pytivometathis -- the link above leads to:
"Filenames have to be in the format SeriesTitle.SnnEnn.Description.avi The Description part isn't actually used, so it can be anything. If more than one SeriesTitle matches, the program will prompt you to pick the one you want of the choices that matched. The path argument tells pyTivoMetaThis where to look for the avis,"
I also went to the Trac page where a -m option is shown. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an option to specify the video file extension -- AVI is assumed. There also is no information on the format of the file name for movies.
Does this work for MPG files and if so how do you specify that? |

What I meant was I think sicklybutsexy meant pyTivoMetaThis, not pytivometagen in his original post. I know he uses pyTivoMetaThis since I debugged a problem he had with it a while back.
The original pyTivoMetaThis handles mpg, avi, ogm, mp4, mov, and wmv. The original developer hasn't updated it in a while. I modified it to add mkv and fix some character encoding bugs. Look for my modded version near the end of the thread. And adding other video types is trivial since the script only cares about the filename. It never processes the actual video or sound.
For TV show mode, it looks for:
sometext1.SXXEYY.sometext2.extension
sometext1 = The series title used to match against thetvdb.com.
XX = The season number
YY = The episode number
sometext2 = Is ignored and doesn't have to be present. You can use it for episode names if you like, but the script doesn't care about it.
extension = the list I mentioned before
The . don't have to be ., they can be spaces or underscores or dashes. I personally use spaces and spaces can appear in sometext1 and sometext2 just fine.
For Movie mode, you need to install imdbpy so it can screen scrape imdb. And the whole file name before the extension is used to match aginst imdb.
It processes whole directories (but not sub directories yet) at a time, so if I have a folder of Grey's Anatomy episodes, I cd to the folder, run the script and it generates metadata for each file in the directory. If the series name part of the file matches more than one TV series, it prompts you to choose one and then every other file in the directory with the same series name will auto recognize as the one you choose. |
