Hi there,
Is it possible to match the results of the scanner with the already existing titles in the databse? movies and episodes.
If i have movies in my database and the Device Scanner scans them from a hard drive it allows me to add the scanner results to the database as new titles, but i want to add the files to the existing once. and of course i don't want to Read Files of each movie one by one.
same story with tv-show's episodes.
the function should show matches automaticaly and let the user the option to acknowledge matches and to revise if necessary.
Cheers |

Hi kirill2785 I'm Trixster
sort of had this issue see this post:http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9892
I know you don't want to reread everything but.
I think there is a setting in options to "make the title like the file name" I have that set now. and I removed some word extension from the ignore list like 'ext' that caused the movie name to be different from the filename. Once I did this and re imported my database I've never had the problem again.
I hope this helps you out some. |

Trixster,
This doesn't help me. i want XMM to read multiple files and match them to the corresponding Movies/TV-Shows that are already in the database.
What you're suggesting is exactly the opposite: first reading files, and then importing info from web. it would be a waste of time for me.
Thanks anyway |

I apologize I misunderstood. I was responding from only my case, with my own database.
In my case, after having set up XMM(originally) the way it came, and letting it do it's thing,it would repeatedly try to add a movie or episode already present in my database because it had changed the name(eventhough I edited the file once it was read originally)
example: a movie called "Extreme" was imported as "reme" so I edited it back to "Extreme" but when scanner ran next it still tried to add the movie as before like it was new.
After playing around I solved the issue (in my case) like below.
Under options/Magic Script/Aditional options tab
I found set title like filename and checked.
Then under title cleaning I found a scroll box with an extensive list of words(so I removed them)
since doing so(in my case)Xmm does not try to reimport a movie or episode I had previously added,because it had changed the name it had for it.I can only say it no longer has the problem (in my case). I go for days adding movies,tv episodes,etc. to my external drive and then run XMM on my dayabase,everything is fine.(in my case)
What you're suggesting would be cool. If you could set up your filenames,seasons,series,etc. exactly as they are stored online that would be a great feature to have.Then I wouldn't have to play with this so much.
Sorry I couldn't help. |

Hi Alessio,
This would be ideal especially as in my case I've moved from CD's to Media Server - all my titles are already in the database but the file path is always (of course) to the optical drive.
Now they are all on the server I need an easy way to match DB entry to file..
Thanks |
