you perhaps need to go into the mythvideo setup and get it to scan for |
12 |
video files. |
13 |
|
14 |
Not quite sure where it is, i find the myth menu system a little |
15 |
confusing, but you end up with a menu called "set up videos" or |
16 |
something like that. I think in there somewhere it scans for the files |
17 |
in your video directory and loads them into the database. |
18 |
|
19 |
if you want to see what the database has in it about your videos then |
20 |
connect to mysql and use the following: |
21 |
|
22 |
CONNECT mythconverg; |
23 |
SELECT * FROM videometadata; |
24 |
|
25 |
|

If you want pretty pictures, plot summaries etc, you then have a bit of |
28 |
work to do. Hint: the system searches for the movie on imdb according to |
29 |
the filename. so it will probably find the right imdb entry if you have |
30 |
a file called incredibles.avi, but it will choke on |
31 |
the.incredibles.xvid.hackersite.dvdrip.avi. You can either rename your |
32 |
files to sensible names, or have another box handy with a web browser so |
33 |
you can manually search imdb.com and get the movie number. eg the |
34 |
incredibles movie page is: |
35 |
|
36 |
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317705/ |
37 |
|
38 |
so the number that mythvideo wants in order to retrieve all the pretty |
39 |
info is 01317705 |
40 |
|
41 |
for further info on how it parses the imdb site find the imdb.pl script |
42 |
that mythvideo installed and take a look. It should be |
43 |
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl |
44 |
|
45 |
Mythvideo calls the script to find the movie. If it cannot decide from |
46 |
several possibilities it offers a list of possibles, and you choose the |
47 |
right one. Once it has the right one it downloads lovely info and a |
48 |
poster to display on your screen for that movie. |
49 |
|
50 |
If it cannot find any possibilities it asks you for the imdb number. |
