VideoConduit - Standalone App to Import Lost TV Recordings into NPVR

I'm glad it worked out. Was the new "Show Picker" feature helpful?
RE: Semicolon Thanks for the feedback. I fixed it and committed it to source control so that it won't happen again as it looks like I fixed it back in July 2019. No need to redownload.

The show picker was great, in several instances the correct graphic was the 2nd or 3rd choice. I ended up going through all of our recording directories and found over a hundred shows that were not in NPVR. Thanks again!

Hello,
Is there anyway to use this to import movies into nextpvr recordings. The issue I'm having is that the movies can't be found under TheTVDB's series, but it is in TheTVDB's movies list. The app seems to only look under series. Is there a way to change this?

You could use one of the many good media managers for video file to generate NFO files and my NextTool utility should be able to import the recording and metadata together. Ember Media Manager, Tiny Media Manager and FileBot are some I am aware of but there are many more.
Since thetvdb is going subscription so it is a dead end for many so try and find one that use an alternate source in the utility you choose. Martin

Martin,
Thank you for the information. Where do I find the NextTool? Will it work on Windows 11?

Martin I found the tool. Getting errors below:
C:\Users\samwi\Downloads\NextTool>nexttool.exe Cannot use file stream for [C:\Users\samwi\Downloads\NextTool\NextTool.deps.json]: No such file or directory A fatal error was encountered. The library 'hostpolicy.dll' required to execute the application was not found in 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\'. Failed to run as a self-contained app. - The application was run as a self-contained app because 'C:\Users\samwi\Downloads\NextTool\NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' was not found. - If this should be a framework-dependent app, add the 'C:\Users\samwi\Downloads\NextTool\NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' file and specify the appropriate framework.

It should work on valid NextPVR platforms, however after I posted I release the NFO stuff is still using some hardcoded things for my testing and was designed for TV show styled NFO files. and and needs a more logic for movie NFO format. Should be quick to add though.
Do you have a movie sample I could use? Also Did you choose a manager? Yes you didn't install it properly but don't worry about that right now. Martin

Yes, I'm trying Filebot at the moment. I should have a movie sample to use, What do you need?
2021-12-28, 06:11 PM
From any movie I just want to make sure that you have the few fields I want. For movies, it will only be title, plot, year. For TV shows I also use tagline, series and episode,.
I'd also like to see how the runtime looks, if they calculate it ok, I don't need to recalculate it. Martin
