Hi all, i also have a vdr server running vdr 1.7.21 (reelbox ubuntu based 10.04 LTS ) with the latest PMS, i have installed the scripts according your instructions (latest PMS) /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Scanners/Movies/VDR Recordings Scanner.py and and init_.py to /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/VDR.bundle/Contents. What i also did is to copy the VDR.bundle into /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-e0b7243/VDR.bundle. I can connect to my VDR server from PC and Dreambox clone (VU+), and see my TS Vdr recordings if i use the default scanners. It results in many 00001.ts to 00003.ts files.
If i use the vdr recording scanner and vdr importer, which should solve the problem, it stops scanning after a minute and nothing is found. I unable to find out the reason why it isn’t working. Do i need to have a newer VDR / Ubuntu version? Is something in the wrong place?
Hi all, i could solve the Problem!
for those using reel VDR (REELBOX) or with recordings from reel VDR ONLY : reel uses info.txt files and not info only. So you have to make some changes in the **original **scripts:https://github.com/forouher/VDR.bundle
vdr Recordings Scanner.py:
if (file.endswith("/info")): change to if (file.endswith("/info.txt")):
in init.py: change two code lines (def search and def update)
info_file = Core.storage.load(folder_path+"/info.txt")
I just used Notepad++ and WINSP for that.
Will not work with older .vdr or easyvdr but it would be simple to make the scripts to work for all kind of VDR files.
Kindly
Vento
I made a modified version of this scanner, or actually it now has separate version for movies and TV shows. This works very well with Canal Digital (S1.0W) recordings that have episode and season numbers available directly from VDR info-file.
Special VDR agent is not needed, Plex finds metadata for most files correctly.
I know this is pretty old, but maybe someone has a working setup. I use VDR.bundle which works pretty good for title and description of movies. However, I would also like to have real thumbnails instead of auto generated images from the movie files.
This article states that it is possible to have multiple metadata agents and I tried to use the following setup:
