vidImport utility support

[carpeVideo]

Well I could always do a season prefix and episode prefix setting. The reason for 01 is so that is sort correctly if you have above ten.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but when I run vidimport.exe (either from the command line or by dragging and dropping a video file onto the exe) I get a Vista error that 'the program closed' and a blank .xml file is generated...
Is this compatible with Vista? (I've already disabled UAC and A/V software)

Any ideas?

[carpeVideo]

Hmmm, I don't have vista. But do you have .net 3.5 installed?

[LegioX]

No I didn't - I installed .Net 3.5 for Vista and it now works. Thanks!

How would I get vidImport to import my files so that they show up like this:
Group:
Flipper - Season 1

Shows:
E01 - 300 Feet Below
E02 - Red Hot Corvette

[carpeVideo]

Right now the season stuff is a bit hardcoded -

if there were files like Flipper.s1e01.300 Feet Below ... it should group them as
Flipper.s01 with shows E01: 300 Feet Below or something like that.

1.0 on the wiki
this improves TV episode lookup and creates a showfile.txt which holds lookups for cancelled shows so you don't waste bandwidth looking for them again.

Also adds these parms:
eprefix="whatever you want to precede episode numbers -default = e"
esuffix="whatever you want after episode numbers -default=."
sprefix="whatever you want before season numbers-default=s"
sinepisode - if this is find then the show title with season is put in the epsiode title.

default looks like this
show title = "The Mentalist.s01"
episode title = "e01.Red Tide"

with sinepisode the episode title becomes "The Mentalist.s01.e01.Red Tide"

Looks pretty nifty, esp. with drag and drop and auto naming, although I must admit I currently find MpegImport's little interface a bit easier for manual addition of detail. (See pic)

With MpegImport I added these over the years, would you consider adding the ones you don't have already?

wmv
mp4
avi
mkv
divx
ifo
mkv
mov

It should have most of those extensions already - I will look through and add those that don't exist in the next few days. I could look into a gui as well as soon as I have some free time. WizMetadata may do the same thing already.
