There are two fields I would like to be able to update without being forced to open/load the complete GUI for XMM:

Custom field 1
Custom field 2

I use the first for a seen-by (se other feature request post) and the second for my own rating.

These values should be so cool if they could be updated from my HTPC-frontend. The easiest way (I think) would be if I could just run a command in a dos-window like.

"xmmUpdate.exe -movie="The Hulk" -field="Custom Field 1" -value="Joche" -mode="Replace"
This will result in the movie "The Hulk" would have the custom field 1 set to "Joche"

Another feature could be:
"xmmUpdate.exe -movie="The Hulk" -field="Custom Field 1" -value="Tina" -mode="Append"
This will result in the movie "The Hulk" would have the custom field 1 set appended with the text "Tina"

The parameters for the program could be:
  • -movie Name of movie to update (or preferable the unique id representing it

  • -field Name of field to update.

  • -value the text to add/append to the field

  • -mode either append or replace to say if the value should replace existing values, or be added after existing values

  • -separator character to be used when the "append" mode is used to separate the values, could default to ';'




I don't do window programming so it's not very easy for me to do this myself, I know about JAVA but haven't found any deasent java-class for handling access databases yet.

I assume the request above should be fairly easy to fullfil.

Never mind. Tinus has already built one. Can be found in the Meedio forums.
