Grabbing metadata based on IMDB id?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So a simple question... I added a movie and I have the IMDB ID, but if I go to edit the movie, I don't see a place to add the ID. I go into External IDs and expand it, and it's entirely empty. However, if I use Media Center Master to pull the ID and generate everything, it works fine, and I can see the IMDB id afterwards.

 

Any reason for this? Oh and followup question... any chance that MB3 will rename movie files and move them into folders? This way I can set a 'watch' folder and it can start automatically organizing them so they can be moved later on into my libary.

Thanks!

If you can't edit the ID then MB probably doesn't know the item is a movie.

It's a .m4v file.. what else would it be :)

A home video, a music video...

 

Probably some sort of structure issue though.  I'd post a screen shot of the editor and the folder structure.

It's just a file, I don't have a folder attached to it. After I do a rip, I'll throw the movie into an "uncategorized" folder and have to use MCM to pull the metadata/create folder structure.

 

So Media Browser can't handle a single file then? I need folder structure?
