Wiz Metadata Grabber

[JavaWiz]

WizMetadataGrabber (latest version)

Feature request - would love it if it could find movie data using the folder name in the PATH of the folder containing video_ts...

Example my dvds are in
z:\dvds\name\fulldisk\DISKNAME\video_ts

where name is the name I used when I ripped it and DISKNAME is the name off the disk itself...

So, under Main for the utility need a checkbox to 'use path not exts' and then search for files would find all paths that contain video_ts folders, and use say the parent dir name as the movie name.

Is that doable?

I may be able to add this feature without too much problem. Until then, another (more manual) solution that was suggested by 7ore can be found here.

Actually fixed it with a little script (in linux)

!/bin/bash
for i in *
do
echo $i
if [ -d "$i/FullDisc/" ]
then
x=`ls "$i/FullDisc/"`
touch "$i/FullDisc/$x/$x.info"
elif [ -d "$i/dvd/" ]
then
touch "$i/dvd/$i.info"
else
touch "$i/$i.info"
fi
done

Then have yours look for .info...

But then I found your moviewiz plugin, which I love even more, so nevermind (and thanks!)

Hello JavaWiz,

Excellent set of utilites. I'm in the process of switching from Beyond TV over to GB-PVR, and the WizMetadataGrabber utility is absolutely essential for finding meta data for my very large recording directory.

One hiccup I'm finding though relates to the parsing of the filenames. Here is an example filename:

Code:

Handy Manny-(A Very Handy Vacation)-2009-11-04-0.mpg

IE, Series-(episode)-recording date. When I try and grab the metadata for this, the initial guess for the {show} - {episode} shows up like this:

Code:

Handy Manny-(A Very Handy - Vacation)-2009-11-04-0

Very close, but that additionally added "-" inbetween "Handy" and "Vacation" is causing the lookup to fail. If I remove the "("s, "-" and recording date it finds the episode 95% of the time. (so change it to "Handy Manny - A Very Handy Vacation") I've read through this thread and found the section where you mention running WizRegExFilterTester. I did this and changed the pattern such that it is properly parsing the file in the WizRegExFilterTester, but I see no change in WizMetadataGrabber. Any ideas?

Attached is my latest log.

Thanks,

Graham.

Been loaded with work lately. I'll take a look at this when time frees up a bit

Has anyone else lately had issues with IMDB look-ups? I'm not getting any data back. The TVDB seems a-okay.

EDIT: 5/9 it appears IMDB changed their layout and the covers are no longer downloadable. The .xml still works, however.

The only results I get are from IMDB. I'm looking for thetvdb data. I seem to remember an earlier version that allowed you to select your data sources, or was that moviewiz?
Edit: was missing vj libraries
