MpegImport utility added to wiki

[sixgun]

Hi,

Here is a new version of MpegImport for you to try out.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards.

I downloaded version 6 this afternoon and tried it out (Ironic that you post an update 2 hours later??)

Anyway - awesome little utility. Worked a tread.



Stuff that I have moved to my archive drive now all back in the database.

Well done.

Thanks, glad it helped.

It's not an "official" update yet though.

I'll post to the forum when it's on the wiki and "official"

i know this is a old thread but here goes anyway
mpeg import is a great tool
but any chance of modifying it so it does sub directories that way you could scan your whole hard drive

I think MovieWiz can now provide something similar to this function if MpegImport is no longer supported.

[stustunz]

can it blind scan your folders then add then to the gbpvr database

[JavaWiz]

You can:

• From the MovieWiz config
  • Scan your hard-drive and load all movies into the MovieWiz db (Add Content tab).
    
  • Then you can export all the movies into a SINGLE (xml) file. (Manage Content tab) This file is in the format that GBPVR understands.
    
• From the GBPVR config
  • Import above export file into GBPVR to load all entries into the recordings table (Plugins tab, Import Recordings).

cheers for that
i must have missed it
bit like gbpvr i guess lots of things you didnt even know were there

To be honest I've not had to use MpegImport for a year or so now, hence the lack of development on it. If people are interested in taking it on I can release the source code.

I will soon be moving over to MediaPortal anyway, as that meets my needs better than GBPVR, so I'll definitely not be actively developing MpegImport.


As for the sub-folders, I thought it already did that. There may well be a bug in there that needs fixing.


Regards.
