[mythtv-users] FW: Looking for sample video grabber scripts

[ajp at cantabrian.co.nz]

Hi,

I export movies and the like from MythTV and then use StreamClip to slice
and dice it so I end up with just the Movie or TV episode without adds. From
that I run a script that converts them into a .mp4 file with all the
metadata correct. This MP4 will then import into iTunes and populate series,
episode, title and artwork correctly. That way I can take a movie from
MythTV and watch it on my iPhone on the bus without annoying adds.

What I want to do is put these in my "Videos" storage group and all the
metadata that is correctly embedded in the file to be imported into MythTV
Videos. Unfortunately this doesn't happen as the importer doesn't understand
the metadata in an MP4.

Another option is to import the files back into MythTV but that makes it
harder to manage and then there is the problem that MythTV only has two
levels in its browsing mode which makes it a very flat structure.

So what I am looking at is how to have an automated mechanism so that when I
put in my correctly setup MP4 files they end up populating MythTV Videos
correctly. I am hoping I can achieve this with a Metadata grabber.

Does that help.
