Hi there
I am using My Movies (
www.mymovies.dk) Collection Management to tag all my movie files. The tags are added to each movie folder. I have tried XBMC (.nfo) and Netgear EVA (.tag) and even Windows Media Center (.dvdid.xml) but non of these seem to work in MC16 or 17. I like the Collection Management program for tagging since it allows me to store multiple tag formats to a given movie folder automatically. For instance, I have a Netgear EVA in my lounge, a Xtreamer Prodigy in my home theater room and a HTPC (with MC) in my entertainment area. Every time I tag a movie the program will store the tags for each relevant system automatically, meaning that on either system I will always get the same tags and covers. Now if this would only work with MC too, it would be so awesome, or at least if MC could read any of their tag formats, either way would be super.
All the available tag formats/options in Collection Management are:
1. Windows Media Center (.dvdid.xml)
2. XBMC (.nfo)
3. Popcorn Hour (NMJ Database or .nfo)
4. Netgear EVA (.tag)
5. HDI Dune (AAI files)
6. SageTV (properfiles files)
7. Xtreamer PNG files
It would be awesome if a more common tag file would be compatible/readable with MC since the sidecar.xml files only seem to work when movies are tagged from within MC?? Not that I would mind using MC for tagging actually but it's just that currently most of my movies seem to only get wikipedia as a source for movie info and covers and those few that bring up rotten tomatoes or TMDB do mostly not even show blu ray covers (if any covers at all). The other disadvantage of doing the tagging in MC in my case would obviously be that I would not be able to store tags in multiple formats and hence have consistent meta data across all my systems......phew, the joy of tagging format wars....LOL
Is it possible to add a preferred/custom movie info source in MC such as amazon, blu-ray.com, IMDB or others, or can anyone recommend an external tagging program (similar, or even better than My Movie's Collection Management) that will store tags compatible with MC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
