Metadata in 3.4.8 in Recordings Screen

Hi sub

A while back in this thread we discussed Metadata in the Recordings Screen, when you enable the Misc2 Tab setting.

I just installed the 3.4.8 update and enabled it, hoping to see both the background a[B]nd [/B]the metadata show details appear.

Now, SOME of the shows WITH metadata alone, but without fanart work OK and SHOW the metadata. Some don't, see Life of Pi.

Oddly, though it seems that if I can see the fanart, the metadata does not show, and I know it exists as the XML file with all the metadata in it, in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Shows [See Midnight in Paris]

and some just work as I expected, see Siebenstein.

Was this feature updated i.e. should it work as I think, or is there a bug in my system which is causing it not to work properly?

Cheers

due to the I'll add a second post with another example and the list of shows in a txt file.

There has been updates, but there seems to be little interest in it, so I'm considering dropping these screens.

I can do some minor updates for you if you want, if you can help me work through the issue you're seeing, but if there is little interest from the community, then these screen will be gone in 3.5.x

Unfortunately not all metadata is created equal, so there is certainly some scenarios that work better than others.

Oh, sad to hear that. I thought it was pretty core functionality, just needs folks to see how great it can be :-)

Sure, say the word. What can I do for you?
Logs and as much detail as I can think of are above, but if there is anything else I can do within the limits of my technical capabilities say the word.

Okey Dokey.

I'll take a look at those files tomorrow, and ask questions for what I need.

I would probably use the built-in Guide and Recordings if I could scroll the Description field (as in alibert's guide and listings plugin).
