Scanner using mkv tags

neilrenaud · February 25, 2014, 1:03pm

Hi,

At the moment as a way to have "recoded TV" easily appear in Plex I've added a directory where my recorded TV is stored.

I use TV Headend and I've created a script that adds the EPG into on to the mkv file as Tags...

so doing "mediainfo my.mkv" will return info like below:

I'd like to have a scanner that can use this for the info that is displayed on the Plex frontends.

Are there any tips on how to create such a scanner?

Thanks,

Neil
