Running into a series of Catch-22’s trying to manage metadata.
From reading the various posts and experimenting, I believe expected behaivor is:
-
Infuse automatically includes the filename name and from file-embedded metadata the title (only! It would be nice if it gave preference to file-embedded data when it exists)
-
If metadating fetching is set to on, Infuse will querey one of two sites or not at all - depending on whether you have flagged a directory as Movies, TV Shows, or none)
So, have encountered numerous problems, one example which expresses all:
The PBS series Carrier from a few years ago… Getting the series preview to behave as expected is proving impossible. Filename is Carrier.Specials.Episode3.m4v. Problems:
-
Video is categorized as “Other” not “TV Shows” even though the its parent directory is flagged as TV Shows
-
Autolookup for metadata returns nothing
Tried to manually tinker around. Accessed com.firecore.media.meta.db, modified the meta_tvshow table. The modified file is then automatically overwritten by the pre-modified version. Cannot for the life of me figure out where a live cache is running.
Any ideas on resolving greatly appreciated.
