Netbug 26 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (I was sure I saw this asked before... possibly by me... but can't seem to find the thread). I know how the folder structure for extras in movies works, but what is the naming convention and is there a way to retrieve meta data for extras? What's the source? Thanks.
Luke 42077 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 There is no required naming convention other than being in the specials folder (i will also have it recognize the xbmc convention extras), and there is no external metadata source. 1
Netbug 26 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 So is there any way to label the extras? So when browsing, I can see like "Making of ***", "Interview with Director", etc.? Will it just be whatever the filename is?
bigjohn 753 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 They will still have entries available for you to edit in the dashboard metadata editor, they just won't get metadata pulled from external sources like IMDB. You can name them whatever you want to. 1
Solution Luke 42077 Posted January 30, 2014 Solution Posted January 30, 2014 Actually right now movie specials don't show up in the editor. For now they just go by the file name, though this can be improved later. 1
bigjohn 753 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ahh, my mistake, I was thinking about TV specials and non-externally sourced movie metadata like that of more obscure movies. Sorry about the misinformation!
