I've started using Mc to download more and more videos. The problem is that i'm always using clients, and the only options available is to show the webpage, play the file, add the link to the library or to download the file and add it to the library. The most fitting option for me is to download and add the file to the library. The only problem is that this will add the file to the library, without any ways to run auto import rules that exist on the server. All gets synced to the server, and I have no way of setting the Artist name or Media Sub type based on the folder path and file name as I would like to. It's all imported in [Name] and no media sub type is set.

Can you please consider adding a new option simply called "Download file"?

This would allow us to use clients to do the downloading, and the server doing what it's supposed to. Importing and tagging. Could you also consider adding such options to theater view, so we don't have to jump to standard view to do stuff like this?

is there a link Mr Haugen on HOW to download as you are doing now?
Thanks

I'll give you a quick example.

On the server...
Create an automatic import rule for Music Videos.
Z:\Video\Music Videos\
Media Sub Type = Music Video
Artist = Regex([Filename (name)], /#^(.+) - (.+)\..*$#/, 1)
Name = Regex([Filename (name)], /#^(.+) - (.+)\..*$#/, 2)

This expression is supposed to pick up the Artist before the " - " and the [Name] after the " - "

On the client....
- Open youtube page in MC.
- Search for something interesting.
- Click the video and choose to download
- Add the Artist name (if it's not supplied) to the video and click download

Here's where it goes wrong. It's supposed to be picked up by the import options on the server, but in reality it's imported to the client and synced back to the server without any of the useful data I need. Like Artist and name and the Media Sub type set to Music Video. It would not make any difference if I had used a standalone client. No auto import rules can be run on this download.
