xattr metadata

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hi,

 

Extended Attribute / Alternative Streams / xattr has been around for a while, but since it's not supported by some filesystems parsing info from filenames won't go away.

 

But I'd be nice if there was metadata agents that check for xattr before parsing filenames and throwing searches at TheTVDB / TheMovieDB.

 

For example, FileBot has been "tagging" files for years likes this:

If anybody is interested in writing a scraper for FileBot flavour metadata let me know.

 

Cheers,

Reinhard

Anything that is an improvement to this amazing app needs some well deserved attention!

I’ve had a bit of time and worked it out myself:
