Hello!
There was option like "import year from title" few versions ago. But now i can't find this.
When I import movies (Add movies -> Scan drives for movies) XMM creates new record with title "Amores perros (Amores perros, ) Almodovar" instead "Amores perros (Amores perros, 2000) Almodovar". Field "Year" of this record equals 2000. Filename is W:\Amores perros (Amores perros, 2000) Almodovar.avi. When I use Add movies -> Add ripped DVD on your Hard Disk XMM creates record with correct title.
How can I tune this option?
Thank you in advance, AB. |

I am having the exact same problem. I am using the "Scan Drives for Movies" function. The movie filename contains the year, but the year doesn't come in the Title. example. "c:\Seven Samurai - 1954.avi" comes into the Title as "Seven Samurai - ".
The year is missing. I haven't scanned my drives for a few month's, so something has changed in the last few versions.
Thxs for the help

Yes, all my previous imports all have the Year in the Title. I would like to keep the year in the Title for consistency with my old imports, even though the year is in the "Year Field".
Also, it leave extra characters in the Title based on my file naming convention, which I could work around, but would prefer not to.
Thanks

To keep consistency:
Here is alittle tool that strips the year from the title in your database. Would be in my sight better than keeping the doubled year ;)

| And when you strip the year out, why do you leave the brackets or parentheses behind? And in his case, why do you leave the worthless "-" after taking the year from behind it? |

I also recently updated XMM and have the same problem that on the grid the year is not included in the title. I like that the name on the grid is the same as the my movie file names. I would like to have this option back as it is very helpful to have the year when i extract the grid to HTML.
please help

correction: I like that the name on the grid is the same as the my movie file names.
should read: I like that the name on the grid is the same as my movie file names. |
