imageGrabLite --import

[mvallevand]

Here's a beta test version of iGL that has a basic import. I'm going through an annual ritual of a on month rental to record all the Homeland episodes to watch during the Holidays. Since I get them from OnDemand while I catch up, I don't have metadata. This import has a very specific logic to get the file from thetvdb It wants the input file to be Show S##E## so for my Homeland example,

I take the file from my HDPVR C:\Recordings\Homeland\2014_11_13_11_15_13.ts

Rename it to C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.ts

run imageGrabLite --import "C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.ts"

and it up with C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.Iron in the Fire.ts in my database

There is an optional parameter to pass a channel oid if you want the icon to be from a correct channel.

That looks like it could come in really handy. I'm planning on transcoding and re-arranging a bunch of old cartoon recordings. as long as I rename them with S--E-- notation, I should be able to re-import them into NPVR easily with this.
I'll let you know how it goes with a couple trial runs

Only files that show up on thetvdb.org will be imported, it's largely a less sophisticated scraper then used by Plex and XBMC.

If the file you download is known to thetvdb with SnnEnn notation rename it to .ts run imageGrabLite --import filename and then it should be in your database with full metadata, just don't forget to rename it back to mp4/avi/mkv. Martin

It adds the recording to the database but does not appear to search for, or find any metadata.Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Also, if IGL renames the file, how do I rename it back to .mp4 in the batch file? Does IGL export the new name as a variable? (i'm not very good at batch files)

Ok those periods might be a problem. Does it work ok as "Game Of Thrones.S02E02.ts"


Martin

[gEd]

yep!

[mvallevand]

Ok in a future update I will do the lookup without them. Out damn spot.

Martin

[gEd]

it also doesn't like double spaces in the file name I noticed when I renamed a file in error.
"Out damn spot." - terrible!

[mvallevand]

"Bloody" awful.

There are two other options to --import in newer versions of iGL

--import fillename unique_id channelOID

unique_id is what to use as the NextPVR unique id typically in North America the zap2it id
channeOID is the id of the channel to show a nice icon.

"Bloody" awful.

"Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!"

would have been more acceptable...
