I’ve got a ton of video files in a single folder, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to identify which ones are 3D at a glance without going into every single one and editing the meta data to include it in the title. The intent being sometimes you might want to sit down and break out the 3D glasses and enjoy a cool movie, but sometimes you might just want ‘any’ movie, so I don’t want to truly separate them out into different folders.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to easily identify them? My first thought was just to create a separate 3D folder and then create shortcuts or symbolic links, but WD TV Live doesn’t recognize them, even hard links (which surprised me).
new to the SMP, but noticed some views have some basic codec info
if all your 3D vids are using a particular codec, you could use that to determine if it’s 3D
another option if you use moviesheets, you could put a piece of text on the moviesheet, when you create them in thumbgen, would require a template edit, then all your moviesheets, would get created with your edits
I have all my 3D Movies in a folder named 3D Movies which for me, is the easist way to identify them.
Identifying them via their “codec” isn’t really possible since they are H.264 Mkv’s like all my other 2D Movies.
Yeah that was one possibility, but I also like to keep them all lumped together so I can view my entire library at once, and then be able to just view the 3D ones separately for when we want the sit down 3D movie and popcorn time.
Guess there probably aren’t too many ways to do that. I suppose I can just look at the share on my PC/Phone/whatever, all the filenamess have 3D in them at least
