<br>Thanks Mike. See it. Don't know how I missed it.<br><br>Recommendation about direct DB editing is noted. The problem -- with the greatest respect for the magicians behind mythvideo -- is that adding large volumes of data (e.g. the plot description for all Friends episodes) via the mythvideo GUI is not for the faint-hearted. Also, systematic input, (e.g. all 800 items with filename like "%/Sitcom/%" have videocategory "Show" and videogenre "Comedy"), are not GUI material, but a piece of cake when directly manipulating the videometadata table. <br>
<br>Although totally unfamiliar with the guts of mythvideo, it is hard to imagine bringing the system down with bad changes to videometadata.<br><br>Gisli<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 26, 2008 6:24 PM, Michael T.
