Title: Video art work (Posters)
Post by: preproman on August 14, 2014, 06:51:35 pm

I have hundreds of files (movies) that does not have art work or Posters / meta data.  Is there a way I can get JRiver to find all my art work without doing them one at a time?  If no is there some other program that would do it?

Thanks

Select them all, right-click, and run Get Movie & TV Info

I'll try it, I was looking for an easier way.  I'll give it a shot.

When you select multiple files, it should run as a batch operation rather than prompting you each time.

If you add more movies regularly, it may be worth setting up a watch-folder for auto import. That way, when you add movies, MC takes a very good guess at the name and finds all the information automatically.
You could try making a back-up (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=89662.0) of your library, removing you movie files from the library, adding the parent folder into auto-import configuration (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=68462.0) and then let MC do its thing

This is worth doing if you will be adding movies, and if some of the movies' properties can be gleaned by folder or file names, you could do a lot of auto tagging this way too.
