I have several files of TV shows and movies that I have moved into the Video
Library that I'm trying to acquire metadata for. The file names are
generally very intuitive for a human reader but evidently not for a metadata
grabber. Is there a reasonable way to manually acquire metadata and attach
it to the relevant file?

The quickest way is to probably just go to either The TVDB or The Movie
Database websites and find the correct inetref value and populate the
inetref field in MythVideo manually. Or else try and determine what change
needs to be made to the file naming to improve results.

What I was able to do was use the TVDB and the Movie Database to construct
workable file names. I have some work yet to do but my video library
appearance is definitely improving. Thanks for the suggestion.

<pre wrap="">For renaming, I highly recommend filebot. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.filebot.net/">http://www.filebot.net/</a>
As it guesses the names from the same databases as mythtv and xbmc use
in their databases it is pretty well guaranteed to succeed.

Filebot definitely looks good but it is no longer available from the
Ubuntu Software Centre, Ubuntu One is being discontinued. I'm not having
a lot of luck finding an Ubuntu version anywhere, Ubuntu apps directory
just directs me back to the Software Centre.

It looks as though you can download it from SourceForge:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/</a>
You would need to manually install it with dpgk.

There will be some java dependencies too, you can either use gdebi to
sort that, or simply try to install with dpkg -i - the output will
tell you what packages are missing. Install them with apt-get and that
will sort it all out.

is extremely helpful. Also note the most recent version has dropped
support for JAVA 6. So you'll need either Java 7 or 8. <br>
