WizMetadataGrabber - v1.0.6.0 released

[JavaWiz]

Hi not sure if I'm being a little slow here but if I amend the metadata ie select 'alternate hits' at the bottom it says 'save metadata'. but I can't find a save button and when I exit the metadata grabber it resets back to the metadata I was trying to change. Any ideas?

Thanks

On the alternate dialog, there should be a select button. Either hit that, or dbl-click the entry, it should automatically save your selection.

Also, make sure you have the most current version (I have posted version 1.0.6.5 in this thread.)

This file name: "Burn.Notice.S02E11.Hot.Spot.720p.HDTV.x264 - CTU" gives no hits at all.
If I change it to: "Burn.Notice-S02E11" I get a hit from IMDB.
And if I change to: "Burn Notice-S02E11" I get thetvdb info (that is the one I prefer as it is episode specific)

All file names start with [series name] [Season and episode] [garbage].

If it is possible to identify the season and episode, everything to the right can be omitted and all to the left is the name (remove the dots) it should then be possible to search a folder automatically and get info from thetvdb.

Great tool by the way. Already gets me a long way.

Ok, I've made some changes to the program and associated WizWebHelper.DLL. Try installing the attached version and see if it works any better.

I will hold off posting this version on the wiki until I get a little feed back to make sure I have not broken anything.

Nope, no good.
I get an wxception at startup of the grabber: "Method was not found: System.String WizGenHelper.ConfigUtil.CfgGetString(System.String, System.String).

I checked the WizWebHelper.DLL version: 1.0.10.3
And the WizGenhelper.dll version is 1.0.0.0 and dated feb 03.

I guess that a newer genhelper needs to be added, but here is the rest of the exception text anyway:

Code:

Delete WizGenHelper.dll then re-install and try again.

Yes, now it works.
And I get a lot more hits now. It seems like thetvdb need to have a exact match to deliver any data.
How exact does the divider be? name|episode or name-episode is stated. Is it OK to have name - episode as well? i.e. does the tool trim spaces?

I will test it further when I get home...

JavaWiz, thanks for fixing the problem with the & character I posted in the 1.0.5.0 thread. I Found another title where other odd characters might be causing problems:
"The Class|The Class Reunites (a.k.a. Pilot)"

Also, kind of going along with 7ore's last comment on spaces, I have noticed that when pulling the title from the filename, spaces are sometimes added around - signs before the check is done, and the check will fail if the title on thetvdb does not contain those spaces. Not all - signs seem to get padded though, use "The Class|The Class Goes Trick-Or-Treating" as an example. Manually running the check and removing the spaces around the - signs where necessary in the title box will successfully match.

Ok, I'll take a look at these two use cases and see what can be done.

This version works rather well.
But I have two things that could be better...
First I would like some added functionality - I would like a possibility to replace the filename. For instance, I had to manually load all episodes of "Merlin.2008" as the grabber thought that "2008" where the season/episode info. Furthermore, I always got the info for "Merlin 1978" as default. So a Search/replace functionality would be great. (Even though it's not that hard work to do it manually...)

Then the next enhancement I would like is tohave the possibility to use the series ID number from thetvdb. The reason is that sometimes there is a lot of series with almost the same names and other series that can't be found anyway. Like Journeyman. No matter what I tried I always get a movie(?) with the same name from 1995. If I could use: 80494 - the series ID number instead, it can be found.

New version works much better now thank you Tv metadata grabber works now for me too when it didn't earlier! Thanks again.
