I've been using Emby as my DVR for the last year and I want to try the new version of NextPVR. (To be clear, I'm not wanting to use NextPVR in conjunction with Emby at this time.)
I have many shows recorded that I'd like to add to the NextPVR database.
I've looked around the forum and the Internet and I see vidimport.exe mentioned. I gave that a try but received the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at videoImport.Program.Main(String[] args)
It seems like vidimport.exe should do what I need. Is it still the preferred solution?
Alternatively...
Emby has .nfo files associated with each .ts file. These .nfo files contain a bunch of metadata associated with each show. I suppose it's feasible to traverse my recordings directory and extract the relevant data for each tv show and compile the import file that NextPVR needs to add the shows to the database. Any thoughts on what programming method would be optimal in doing something like this?
Thanks, everyone!
