Meta source

I want to add a new meta source, but that's not possible. So I want moviemeter.nl in the new firmware.

Re: Meta source

You can add a new metadata source, just look for Meta-Source Manager in the setup tab.

Re: Meta source

Then what do you do once you find it?  I see "Add new source.." so I click it, and it says "Media not present" or somesuch - it's almost like it is looking for config files on an attached disk to tell it where to find the meta source... ?

Re: Meta source

You put the content scraper definition on a USB disk and import it.  It's usually an XML file.

Re: Meta source

[ Edited ]

Reading the initial issue by EdwinBaljet and the final questions by micronx, I can say that I solved the meta library creation problem with an off-line step.
I create the metadata info (xml files) with an offline program, so I don't mind costructing manually the xml, but let the program do it for me.
There are different programs:

  • Thumbgen (you can chhose diffrent meta sources, including moviemeter.nl)
  • WDTVHubGen  (recommended for tv series; it uses themoviedb.org, thetvdb.com and opensubtitles.org)
  • The TVDB XML Fetcher (for tv series; you have to go first on http://thetvdb.com/ and find the correct series ID to use with the XML Fetcher)


After having created all the xml files I need, I start the recreation of the media library.

Hope this helps
