can't import xml into movie

[tvshowman]

Hi!

I have a few hundred movies that I grabbed using the metadata grabber and I cannot import this into moviewiz so I can use moviewiz to crete the recording.xml to import that into gbpvr so I can have the files in the recording menu with the new updated movie info...

is there a batch utillity that can batch import all the .xml files and data made by the grabber? the info seems to be really good and i just need to ad that into mivoewiz so I can import the files into gbpvr

vidimport doesn't read the xml's and for some reason it can't read my file names so I get files with weird names....

mpegimport can make the xml file but it does not add the descriptions so they are all empty


I even tried to recreate the hidden metada channel and copy the grabbers info into but that was a no go
copy %~dpn1 %~dpn1:metadata.xml

I have exhausted all avenues .

I tried to simply import a directory scan into moviewiz but it crashed on my file names and I think it wanted to make up its own search from the net insead of using the xml's we just created...

any idea what would be the best bet?

the metagrabber is awesome and I moved my files on each drive into one directory and ran the grabber and it was pretty quick and is very easy to check and correct wrong titles and I have about 600+ shows that look great in the video library screen hehe

would be killer to have the descriptions carry into the recording menu and I thought it would be easy is i used moviewiz to create the xml with all the descriptions

it is great to know if we crashed or corrupted the gbpvr database that importing one movie collection is much closer to be a sure breeze

well done man! love the software

I think I can add something to the WizMetadataGrabber. Look for this in a future release.

Current version of WizMetadataGrabber should do what you are looking for here. It's not batch, but you should be able to generate the appropriate import file for GBPVR based on the file list and either generated xml or embedded metadata.
