Great!

I'll hopefully have some time at the end of the week to add this to the MetaGenerator application.

Good work on this!

EDIT:

Also, is there any method/way we have to get your changes for this into the primary release?

Apparently I just noticed that the place where I get movie data changed their interface so the movie part of the MetaGenerator is not working.

I know how to fix it, but it might be Monday before I can produce and update because of family obligations this weekend. I will do my best to produce the fix ASAP.

Line endings need to be removed or escaped before writing to the metadata file. Particularly in the description field.

I attached a metadata file of an episode of the wire. As you can see there is a line break in the description field. This causes errors in the metadata. The matching entry in the TVDB can be found here:

Thanks for the great work.

for the mpaa rating, the list is mapped like this (clarify for me):

G -> G1
PG -> P2
PG-13 -> P3
R -> R4

then what else?

Also, what is the year for movieYear? Is it just "2008" or is it in some other format?

Can you please consider including a version number within your application as well as on the distribution zip file? Now that the 1/15/2008 dated version of metagenerator.exe is dependant on a specific release of wmcbrine latest pytivo (link would be helpful as I assume it is different that the release linked off http://pytivo.armooo.net/), it will require more diligence to keep these applications in sync.

Well the reason is that wmcbrine and I have been back and forth and he has allowed in pyTivo some of the metadata features in here.

Hopefully all of his stuff will be put into the main branch (if his isn't already) so all versions from this point will have this new stuff.

Just installed the latest version of MetaGenerator and I'm getting an error with the Movies functionality (TV Shows seems to be fine). I enter a search string, get a list of movies back (with the year in the results list... nice touch!) but, when I choose a movie I get an unhandled exception error every time:

"Expression must evaluate to a node-set."

Here are the details:

Just downloaded the latest version..

I'm not seeing the movie year field being inserted into the metadata file.

Also, in the "view metadata' window, the IMDB stars rating is always showing 3.0, but when I look in the generated file, the field says 5.0
