Hi Alessio,
here are my problems concerning the handling of original dvd/blu-ray. Almost my complete movie collection is on optical disks therefore appropiate functions should be provided.
My problems are:
- it's not possible to add a dvd/blu-ray to a already existing movie in the database. I wanted to re-read my disks because of the new features of xMM8 (e.g. the new and/or improved data fields)
- it's not possible to add more than one disk to a movie (disk tab)
- "add original dvd" function:
-- ok: media, codec, audio stream (but has heterogeneous notation), disk number (disk tab), FPS
-- more or less ok: Resolution, movie length (works here for burnt dvd not for original)
-- not ok: Bitrate (no value), discs (0), screen ratio (16:9, has to be more detailed), subtitles, media label, dual layer, disc id, filesize
reading a movie file
reading vob-Files (DVD) and m2ts-Files(Blu-ray):
- Codec, Bitrate, FPS, Media Label (in Video Tab), Resolution are ok
- audio stream info is sometimes not complete
reading disk
- it's not possible to select the disk drive when adding a disk in disk tab
- disk number, media label and filesize in disk tab are ok
- dual layer not recorgenized, diskID is crap
For my collection I would expect a "read dvd/blu-ray" feature for new/existing movies that is able to recognize:
- all disk parameters (disc number, media label, diskID, disk size, dual layer yes/no)
- main movie with all video and audio parameters
BTW: In "Add Movie/Add TV show" dropdown menues the "advanced" submenue isn't necessary as there are not that much menue items |

Your requests are not easy for me to add
I only request features when I'm confident that you are able to implement them. There's no way for "no way"!
90% of this stuff is already available in xMM - but sometimes buggy, implemented a little bit halfhearted or still not tested. Sometimes I have the feeling that I'm the only one who tried out some of the functions.
Concerning the "add dvd/blu-ray":
My suggestion is to start with the following:
1. solve the data field doublette problem
2. improve the reading disk stuff, that all available fields in the corresponding tab are filled correctly; also allow multiple disks
3. improve reading movie files (there is sometimes a heterogeneous notation)
4. at the end combine 2+3 in a batch under the "add dvd" option: xMM should first read the disk stuff, then find the main movie and then read the movie data of the file from the main movie. |
