What would be the suggested Folder and File names to be used to in light of the changes?
I am at Firmware 3.11.10, from back in March-2013.
Have noticed that “Getting Content” from themoviedb.org has changed, I have to edit the search data.
In the past I named movies with the release year, ie “Brave 2011.avi” or “Brave (2012)”. This filename still works for this movie but newer movies, starting a few months ago ( following changes in the API at themoviedb.org) - ie “Snitch 2013.avi” fails.
In my research of this problem I have identified that the API used to get content inof from themoviedb.org has changed and the firmware in the WD Live TV Hub has not addressed these changes. Also noted that changes started at themovedb.org as far back as Jan 2013 affected the xml files - I had noted this - missing are the mpaa rating and thumbnails. This change came from the API interfave going to version 3, from version 2.1. One can see this change in viewing that XML files that were generated before Jan 2013.
I have developed a Web/PHP application that parses the XML files on my unit to generate a nice “Content” page and have been affected by the changes in the API myself. I have to edit the newly generated XML files adding back the mpaa and thumbnail tags. Recent changes made to the API at themoviedb.org can support getting this data with a single call of the API. The old version 2.1 returned a “complete” contect and changes made in January to version 3 required that three separate calls to tget the same amount of info. But changes made to the API in the past few weeks now supports command line options to get the extra data via a single call to thge API. The firmware needs to address these changes.
I am thinking of “Formating” my hard drive and starting over, but with 500 GB+( I have a back ups) of Movies, TV, Music, and Photos - this is a big thing and I want to make sure I am positioned to go forward with a better Folder and File Name - Standards.
I was thinking that the Folder name contain the release year and not the movie files.
I also am wondering that the other “Content” sites for Music and TV have changed thier API’s??
Currently my unit is in a never ending “Getting content info” state if I turn on Get COntent to AUTO.
