What does Meta data do in regards to Videos? Sorry Newbie

ccaz · 2016-10-12, 02:05 AM

So I have most things setup and working "as exected". I loaded a few directories that contain various TV and Movie type files. Basically an .ISO folder with DVD .ISOs... some .MP4 show and even .M4v shows. Each dir had content of that type (.ISO .MP4 .M4v). For the respective directory if I click on Meta data for a file there, it says, "no shows could be found matching: mp4". Or "...matching: ISO". Why is it searching against the directory name or the file type and not the name of the file? I'm guessing I did a newbie move but can't see what and have browsed around the forum a bit without seeing this mentioned. Latest version of Next PVR, W10 x64 w/latest patches all that.

Thanks! And I can post logs, I'm assuming it's something dumb I did or I'm asking so I'll skip it for now.

It tries to download artwork for the selected video file.

Was the directory or a filename selected when you did this?

What was the exact file and directory name? I can check it here.

So I guess it doesn't always just give that error... for example I click on Twister.iso or Dances with wolves.iso and the popup is: [TheMovieDB] Lilan iso Keikka. Then [TheMovieDB] Iso no Genta: Dakine no na. Then the rest of the results have some form of "ISO" in them and nothing todo with Twister or DWW. If I click on Mothman Prophecies.m4v it says the No shows could be found matching: M4v. In essence its treating all things as the file extension for it's results?

Edit sorry... The directory name for Twister.iso or DWW.iso is ISO. The dir name for all of the m4v files is M4V

Yeah, it'd be this that is screwing it over. I'd usually but movies in a directory with the same name as the movie.
