Hey all. I tried posting these over at the media portal forums, but never received any reply. Maybe somebody here can help better!
These issues are all about the video database...
So here's what I did:
Media portal advanced config, video database. I scanned my movie database and let media portal find all the info for my files. The questions/Problems I'm having are these:
1. Some files I had split up into multiple files. I've read that MP can "stack" these or something...how do I do this? As of now, it treats each file as the seperate movie, when really it's just part of it.
2. How do I see the ratings of the movies from IMDB? Everything just shows 10 dark colored stars no matter what. Can I also rate these myself somehow?
3. TV shows. How do I get episode info from the net just like it did for my movies? Also, a lot of my TV shows will be ISOs (I have the DVDs and I'm ripping them to my HDDs)...will that change things?
4. Sometimes my files aren't on IMDB (home movies, for example). How can I add these to the database so that they will appear when sorted by Title, ratings, etc. etc. Also to give them cover art.
I think that's it for now... thanks!
5. Is there anyway for MP to check for any new files in my folder (like, monitor a folder), and automatically add it to the database when it starts up? So it will see a new file, check for it on IMDB - report to me to pick the title if I need to, and then get all the info online for it.
6. How can I get all the "the" prefixes to go at the end of the movie titles, so that it will not sort by "The ..." ?
