I have been very thorough in doing so. The filename is exactly identical to the movie filename etc. etc. But yet nothing is happening. Whenever I try to reloead metadata, I only get a lot of suggestions that are completely wrong. I have tried restarting my ATV2, but also to no avail.
Please help. This is very annoying!
Also: I would love to see a “sort by” feature. To give you an example: I currently have the Alien quadrilogy in my library. I would like those four movies to be sorted chronologically along side each other, but because they are not named Alien 1, Alien 2, Alien 3, Alien 4, they are being sorted like this:
Alien, Alien 3, Alien 4 Resurrection, Aliens
So the sequel is now last in line… A “sort by” feature, would allow me to tell Media Player to sort by Alien 1, Alien 2 etc, but still keep the actual titles.
So I tried removing the characters you suggested. But no luck. None of my .xml files are loading. Here’s another example (i’ll just paste it in here, since it’s very short):
That is actually expected behavior. Media will find your XML file, but since there is no cover art it will prompt you to select a title so it can add an image to display along with the info from your XML file.
If you were to select a title from the list (it doesn’t matter which) you will see that title’s covert art, with your metadata. A way around this is to add your own cover art by placing an image with the same name alongside the video file.
Great, thanks… I chose a random title from the list and it just loaded my custom metadata and cover art… So it worked, even though that was a bit strange
Now if you could just implement my before-mentioned “Sort by” function, I would be very very happy (would be nice to sort out the chronology of my movies)
