steve1977 67 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 MBS has an option to filter by type (e.g., Bluray, ISO, etc). No idea though how I can have MBS identify what it is? How is this done? Also, is there a way to filter by HD vs SD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37280 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 it's done by following the library structure wiki. there is no hd filter but i can add one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTechMan 7 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I was also somewhat wondering about this too, as I have a few HD-DVD movies that I ripped to the server, though MBS sees them as Bluray. I was wondering if there was a way to have them display in the correct type, just to see the red color box lol. I do plan to convert the HD-DVD's to Bluray though.

You can override the detected type by changing it in the metadata edit screen in the web client. I believe the accepted video type entry for HD-DVD is HdDvd.

Luke 37280 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 We do not officially support hd dvd so you'll need to create a specific request for it. It's hard to imagine it being much of a priority though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, its not that big of a deal, I can convert them all to Bluray anyway so as to physically back them up in the case my HD-DVD rom drive eventually dies. Wouldn't make much sense to re-buy those on Blu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to set the type in the wiki and also not to change manually. can you point me to the right place please? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 You can manually change the tag in the movie.xml - just Just edit it in notepad and change the type to <Type>HD DVD</Type>. I changed one and it came up in MB as a HD DVD, or am I missing something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 How to set the type "bluray" without editing the XML? I cannot see a reference to this in the wiki and also not when editing in MBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1977 67 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oh, got it. Is there any way that this information is automatically detected? From folder or file name? Or derived from resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37280 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 it is automatically detected and is all covered in the wiki. what shaefurr showed is an example of how to make a video display as if it were a bluray. that's an advanced topic and not the same as what you're asking.

ebr 14960 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oh, got it. Is there any way that this information is automatically detected? From folder or file name? Or derived from resolution? Yeah, if it is actually a Blu-ray (file structure with a bdmv folder) . Otherwise, it isn't a blu-ray but you want to display like it was so you'll have to use the Display Type as was directed.
