<div dir="ltr">I'm in the process of writing a python script that automatically archives all recordings with HandBrakeCLI. It iterates over each recording, converts the video with HandBrakeCLI and creates a .mxml file that includes the title, subtitle, season, episode and description. When next scanning for changes in videos it then picks up all the information, including the description. (I haven't looked at mythvidexport, so I should probably be using it). But this sounds like it will give you the basics for everything you want to do.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Our local PBS channel has been broadcasting several mystery series from many different countries (Sweden, Germany, France, Italy). Some examples are: Detective Montalbano, Don Matteo, and Maigret. Schedules Direct has all of the correct information about each show (in English) which shows up in the Title, Subtitle and episode description. I would like to save these episodes in my permanent video library and get it out of the Recordings directory; however, I cannot figure out how to move the English titles and description into the video metadata automatically. When I try to use mythvidexport, it fails when (I'm assuming) it fails to find the episode in the TMDB in English. Even if it could find the correct episode in the original language (which does exist in the TMDB), I wouldn't want the native language descriptions. I currently have about 70 - 100 of these shows I'd like to move and would prefer not to have to enter this metadata manually. I'm hoping someone else in MythLand would have encountered this before and have some ideas on how to automate this.<div>
