Exporting media meta data?

[SirJMD 15]

Is there a way to export the entire media library's meta data?

 

The goal is that I want to have an excel sheet with all movies in it, with all the information about resolution, codec, bitrate, subtitles etc.

 

 

Is that possible?

Hello @@SirJMD

 

Under Manage Server -> Admin -> Reports you can export data to CSV.

 

Does this cover your needs?

Almost.. it's 99%. In the subtitles it just shows an "X", indicating that "yes, there are subtitles" - but not which. Possible to get that information?

Hello @@SirJMD

 

I don't believe that's available from the canned reports, @@Luke will be able to confirm.

 

There would likely be a number of subtitle rows per movie in your library, would you want the rest of the information duplicated?

 

i.e. one row per unique movie/subtitle combination.

I'm thinking that the report can list the subtitles in subsequent columns (maybe limited to the first 5 or 10).

In Excel it would be rather easy to search for subtitles in a specific language, even if it's spread out over 10 columns.

 

I would prefer that instead of an entry per subtitle, as some of my videos have 20 subtitles.

Would you want all of the fields exported? e.g.

 

Language : eng

Codec : PGSSUB

Default : No

Forced : No

External : No

Title : Eng

Just language for now.

I would use the reports feature. Most of it is community contributed and is in dire need of an overhaul though.

But it is still missing the info I need the most - the subtitle languages in each movie.

Hmm I'm really missing this feature.. Anything I can do myself to export the meta data?

I feel like a moron here. I don't seem to have the "Admin" option on my server manager. I only have one user account, so by default it must be an admin account. Why don't I see an admin option or have access to the reports?
