I have added my recordings folder to Plex and have all the files show up correctly. I would like to be able to read the description as well, so I need a scanner that can read a textile where this info is.
I record tv using 4TheRecord.
The file-extension is .4tr, but it opens up in any text editor and looks much like an .nfo file.
I could probably get 4TheRecord to output in a different format if this helps.
The format of this file is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><br />

<Description>Indtil nu har man opdaget 28.000 forskellige arter af fisk, og mangfoldigheden i farver, form og adfærd er utrolig. Nogle fisk kan flyve, mens andre kan svømme 100 kilometer i timen, og nogle er endog i stand til at gå på land. De mange fisk har lige så mange måder at beskytte deres afkom på. Løvpjaltefiskens parringsdans er en yndefuld menuet, hvor de spejler hinandens bevægelser. Under parringen overfører hunnen æggene til hannens hale, der beskytter dem der indtil udklækningen. Mens flyvefisken benytter sin særlige evne til at flygte fra sine fjender, lever dyndspringeren det meste af sit liv på land og gemmer sine æg i en tunnel i mudderet. Barberne og flodhestene har fundet en helt speciel måde at leve sammen på. Havet er nok et farligt sted at leve, men fiskene har gennem millioner af års evolution udviklet utrolige måder at overleve på.</Description><br />

I have the file named correctly as I want it to show up, so basically I just want the scanner to read the -tag and then add this description to plea.
Is this possible? And if so, how hard is this to do? And will someone help me :-D?
Last question: Would this custom scanner work in windows? I seem to remember I read somewhere that custom scanners was not supported on windows.
Thanks in advance guys.
