Request: Automatic Meta Data Scraping Additions
« on: September 19, 2012, 05:17:50 am »

New version is out, so I'll make another post as a reminder of missing data in this new version. Old thread is here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=70652.0

Here's an updated list of what I believe is missing:
TV Shows
Series Description
Genre
Network
Season Art
Banner Art
Backdrops

Movies
Language
Writer
Part of the (box set info)
Backdrops

I've added pictures as well, because I mean that sooner or later we will need to have more manual control over what backdrop is shown for what TV Show or Movie. We need faster transitions, and the ability to manipulate them better. Unfortunately there are just to many occasions where the automatic system fails today.

Please consider adding this. Especially the tag data. It's available on the source sites, and should be fairly easy to add.

There's still missing pieces here, which are available to be grabbed on the two sites. Can we please have some of this, so we can manage our media in a better way?

Especially the "Genre" and "Network" for Series, and "Language" and "Part of the" for movies. It would help very much with some views and sorting, and the "Part of the" tag could help us getting an automated box set feature.

Another +1. For a Media Centre with such great functionality, it seems strange that this (of all things) would be broken.  ?
