Hi all, I have some chinese TV shows in my NAS, unfortunately infuse can not fetch those metadata automatically, following instructions on Metadata 101 – Firecore , I maganed to make it work, partially.
My folder structure:
- My Chinese TV Show
-Season 1
S01E01.mp4
S01E01.xml
S01E01.jpg
...
-folder.jpg
What is woking:
folder image for top level folder
episode thumbnail(when expand that episode) and metadata
However, there are still something not working:
episode thumbnail when not expanded, it's still a snapshot of that video
episode do not merge into season, shows like 'Season 01 Episode 01', 'Season 01 Episode 02'
not present in the Library
sorry for my poor written english, any tip or example appreciated.
Thank you james, I have that option enabled, but no available metadata found by infuse, all infamation files are added manually(like S01E01.xml, S01E01.jpg mentioned above).
currently, the troubles are:
infuse DO NOT group videos(like S01E01.mp4, S01E02.mp4 mentioned above) into seasons
CAN NOT add information about series and seasons
I think I need to add more files(like series.xml, season-1.xml) to supply the missing infomation, but unfortunately, I can not find instructions on that subject.
james, could you please show me some examples of TV Shows metadata structure and grammers that can work like fetching automatically by infuse?
I double checked thetvdb.com but found nothing related, so is it possible if I add the infomation to thetvdb.com and then infuse can fetch it?
that somehow solves this trouble.
That would work! If you have the information and artwork and you enter it once it’s approved by thetvdb it will be available to infuse. I’ve done that on a few series on thetvdb and movies with themoviedb.
You might want to look on imdb.com and see if you can find it there. They have a major database of shows and if they have it you can copy their work over to thetvdb.
How is this possible? i Have the same settings in Infuse 4 pro and Infuse 5 (subscription) but my TV shows shows different covers (on my iphone, ipad and apple tv 4 is the same). On Infuse 4 Pro are covers “more” actual and new, as on Infuse 5? Any ideas?
