I did my best do some searching and reading before posting this, so here goes…
All my movies and tv shows are simply my dvd collection converted to .iso files.
In the beginning I had a separate folder for each file with the jpg of the movie in there plus a copy of it entitled folder.jpg for the picture to show up on the folder, but now I realize that was unnecessary.
For now, I’ll just stick with my tv show question. I have a few series ripped from dvd on a 2 TB external, which I stream.
Some info about my drive and file structure:
Drive name - TV
Folders:
- Star Trek
- Animated
- Smallville
Example of seasons and discs:
Star Trek/Season 1/Disc 1.iso (also has Disc 1.jpg so the picture of the disc shows up - and obviously, there’s 6-7 iso files in each season folder)
On the WD Hub, when I select the network share, I see the shared drive called ‘TV’. I open that and I see the folders for each show, and a picture on the smaller folder on the bottom of the screen.
What I’m wondering for all of this, is, when I select a disc, the larger folder is still blank and there is no metadata. (I realize it doesn’t just automatically show up)
Is there a way for me to create it? I read Tony’s entire thread on his tvdb scraper and he addresses the fact that if you have tv shows on dvd .iso images, his program doesn’t work for that. (correct me if I misinterpreted this).
I’d like the large folder to show the same picture as the smaller one on the bottom, as well as the metadata. And I don’t care if I have to enter it in manually.
I’m just looking for advice on my file structure (did I do it wrong?) and getting metadata to show up, besides using the ‘Get Content Info’. (I believe I tried the Get Content Info on one of my Star Trek iso images, and it didn’t work - I’m willing to try it again if that’s the only way to get stuff to show up)
I don’t mind entering in my own metadata on an .xml file or something like that because when I select one my .iso images, I’d like the listing of the 4 episodes that are on that disc to show up, so I don’t have to guess/look up on the web where an episode is.
Thanks very much and I hope I did enough research before bothering the forum
