Comment(by anonymous):
Normaly I burn my Movies like that:[[BR]]
An directory for every movie containing:[[BR]]
- The Video-File[[BR]]
- The Cover-File[[BR]]
- The Metadata-File[[BR]]
So when I Insert the CD I can see the Cover-File without importing the
Video to the DB. *nice*
This would be perfect combined with your Idea:
> In my opinion, the .metadata files could be also parsed "on the fly"
when browsing the files in MythVideo.
The only change to mythvideo would be: In the case mythvideo finds only
one videofile in an directory, it should skip showing the content of the
directory and directly go to the next step. (Playing or showing the Infos)
So every CD/DVD would look like imported to the DB.
Even if mythvideo will not parse the metadata "on the fly" this change
cold be cool, because I would write an autostart-script which would
execute "find_meta.py -r [cd]" when it finds an specific empty textfile
(like: "importit.txt") on th CD.
MythVideo could also recognize several files with practicly the same name
as one Movie.[[BR]]
- Movie.CD1.avi[[BR]]
- Movie.CD2.avi[[BR]]
-> Movie
