Carnac - What does it do?
jack wallstreet:
Notwithstanding the Carnac may be very good and desirable for many people, I provide my own tags and would (generally) not want what I put in overwritten. This includes when I load a file and have blank tags temporarily for when I later fill in the tags. I understand Carnac cannot be turned off and that is a concern.
Does it overwrite ONLY blank tags or does it overwrite what it thinks is incorrect. If I put in a space or a default temporary tag, will that stop it from overwriting?
JimH:
It shouldn't overwrite any tag that has a value. If it is, that's a mistake.
jack wallstreet:
I have not tested and am not saying it is doing anything improper. I just wanted to know under what circumstances it filled in tags and I think others will want to know also.
Thanks, Jim for reply, as always.
Gl3nn:
Is Carnac meant for music too? Or just video?
What happens if there's no Internet connection? Or outbound connections are blocked by a firewall?
Hendrik:
I finally got around to letting Carnac run wild on my library, here some cases that failed:
Z:\Series\Pinky and the Brain\1\1e01-Das Mouse.mkv - shows up as Unassigned
... and all files in that series. I assume because there is no series name in the file name, only season and ep title?
Z:\Series\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 1\Doctor.Who.S01E010.The.Doctor.Dances.mkv
.. identified with episode tag 1, i assume because of the three digit ep number. How did i manage to name them like that, i wonder.
And of course there is the whole trouble with Doctor Who (2005) and Doctor Who (Classic), which all get mixed and matched and do all the weird things, because it cannot separate the two.
Doctor Who (Classic) also uses a layout like this: doctor.who.s01e01p01.avi - meaning the first episode is split into multiple parts, back then they had "stories" and not episodes, so a season would have stories, and a story would have parts.
Anyway, overall its working really great. Now i just have to figure out how to fix the theater view to show the episode number for a name, instead of the name which most of the time contains nothing useful.
