I’m trying to create a library of comedy specials. While 80% of them are match-able within the movie agents, I do have a some TV shows mixed in (Comedy Central Presents as an example). The expectation is they should be in a separate library, but I want the ability to be able to do “random” comedy specials at times.
I’m trying to source either an ability to add a TV scanner to the movie agent so I can manually match these exceptions, or some way to copy the meta data from a TV library where I’ve matched these to the shared library.
Has anyone done such a thing, or have any advice for how I can get the metadata for the TV shows in my library? I have everything else matched properly.
you can use my scanner and agent, links in my signature.
The scanner allows movies in series library but still need a folder in root directories like series and the file sharing the same name as the folder…
ThemovieDB manages both series and movies so a series agent using tmdb for series and movies would do what you want. My agent have movies/series for tmdb coded (check github releases, download the beta, there is a TheMovieDB.py module that will get you started)
Hey! Thanks for the response… I tried this and that at least gave me an ability to get them to show up via the Scanner, but while I could get TV series to show up, when I would search for “movie” specials, I would only get TV responses back… Even when I selected TheMovieDB, it was only searching for TV series that they report on.
Therefore, I’m now worse off as I lost all my existing matching information for the 80% Comedy special movies I had, and can only get the series working this way.
ThemovieDB (as a metadata source) manages both series and movies, so a series agent (yet to be written) using tmdb for series and movies (so supporting movies in series library) would do what you want (which would do wonders for comedy and documentaries, but it has to be created/modified)
My agent have movies/series for tmdb coded (check github releases, download the beta, there is a TheMovieDB.py module that will get you started)
attach your filelist from the scanner, will see if i can make a quick mod to my scanner to make it a series and movie in series TheMovieDB Agent…
