New version 0.33, adds mpaaRating, tvRating and starRating.

mpaaRatings are as defined by wmcbrine. I know his Git download will support these items -- not sure about others -- but in any case the new items should do no harm.

Download ***here*** and go to the link in my signature for a description of the program.

I haven't downloaded .33 yet but any chance you could add the .tivo file extension?

Thanks,
Mike.

Added .TiVo extension choice.

Remember to uninstall old version first.

I just ran accross an output where displayMajorNumber : was blank instead of 0 and it seems to prevent the rest of the metadata from appearing on the Tivo. The callsign is also blank on these metadata files. This occured on about 6 of the 12 files I just tested. Very strange. Not sure why callsign is blank unless VideoReDo removed the callsign when I cut the commercials and wrote the output back to a .tivo file.

I pm'ed you with a fixed version of the program for you to sub and test (to confirm it's fixed before I release it).

If you don't get the PM let me know. It was a .zip attachment about 12kB. If the channel info (call sign, major display #) are not in the TiVo metadata, my program attempts to read the call sign from the file name and then inserts a major display # of '0', to enable its display. I added logic to only allow writing these two items to the metadata file if both strings are non-zero length. Some .Tivo files have neither item; some have only the call sign. I would hope VRD would preserve all the metadata when saving tivo to tivo but ???

Oh OK, the callsign must have come up blank because I renamed the files and removed everything in the parentheses except the callsign.

v.35 seems to be working perfectly. I'll go back and insert a comma in my file names so it can read the callsign.

Thanks.

Thank you for the testing! Here is the download link for the full Ver 0.35 installer package. (Don't forget to uninstall any previous version.)
