Using front end programs to get and customize program meta data
« on: March 21, 2013, 07:36:31 pm »
Hello,

I originally built an HTPC and have been using WMC with Media Browser.  I have been using MC18 for music and would like to use it for watching movies (BD ISO, MKV, DVD, BD folder, etc.) and TV shows (MKVs mostly).  Anyway, I have been using MetaBrowser to gather and edit tag the program's meta data.  The program is a front end tag program for XBMC, Boxee, Netgear and so forth.  'm aware that MC18 has a scraper but like the flexibility and customising that MetaBrowser provides.

Does anybody use this program to manage meta data for MC!8 or know if its possible?

I use a commercial program with good scraping capabilities, from which I export nfo files to use as MC sidecars. After I created custom library fields in MC and tweaked a little the nfo creation process, the setup works like a breeze - though one has to put up with the quirks of the scraper program.

All in all, I would much rather have full scraping support inside MC.
