Hmmm... Went to http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8z34hkxjobl and keep getting this:

"NOTICE: No servers are currently available with the requested data on them. Please retry your request in a moment."

For some reason it wasn't working...

I deleted it and added it back, but I am still getting the errors...

I submitted a help ticket at mediafire. Maybe something can get fixed fast...

Any possibility you could post your metadata generator on this board?

I am putting together a list of additions for the next version of the MetaGenerator.

I would like to add for sure these items
-A button in the ViewMetaData form that will extend the form and allow the user to add/change the following items:
--OriginalAirDate
--displayMajorNumber
--callsign
--showingBits
--episodeNumber (if TV show)
--tvRating

Now with TV rating, I was wondering if we could some type of mapping from film ratings.

Also, there was some discussion about the stars, anyone have any ideas if that was put into to the newest release?

If you're doing movie ratings, you should use the "mpaaRating" tag. But, sure, you should map as well -- I'm thinking R = TV-MA, PG-13 = TV-14, PG = TV-PG, and G = TV-G, although that isn't necessarily the mapping that Tivo/Tribune uses. (I've seen at least one R that was also tagged TV-14.)

No, it wasn't. But I can add it to mine...

So that's already there? That wasn't in the MetaData page. I created that page, but I got the data from somewhere else...

If that's there, then if it's a movie, I could use the mpaaRating and if a TV Episode, then use the tvRatings.

That would be great! I guess I need to create a ticket to add it to the newest stuff everyone is working on?

I don't think everyone has gotten together and created some type of organization for releases yet....

That's going to be difficult to do...probably impossible to do...

EDIT:

You seem to know a ton about python, can you tell me which files to look for what pyTivo serves the Tivo for metadata?

I would like to have a 'de facto' list of items so I know I can offer it up to users.

No, I'd have to add that, too.

I'd keep tvRating in, even if you have an mpaaRating -- only because that's what Tivo does. I don't know if it's needed for anything (parental controls?).

Thanks. But, really, I've only been at it since November. Then again, I've been programming since the 80's. Smile

I'm guessing you're looking for the templates. Most of the tags are in plugins/video/templates/TvBus.tmpl. Note that this is a mix of XML and the Cheetah template language, which is Python-like, but it's not quite the same. The templates are pretty straightforward, though. I was hacking on the other one (container.tmpl) before I really took up Python.

OK, I put dlfl's patch for the star rating in my repository. But so far, I can't get mpaaRating to work. :/

Where is the list of metadata items that Tivo accepts?

I mean we can find what pyTivo can send through the files you said...where is the list of accepting metadata variables located?

There isn't one. It's undocumented. You have to query the Tivo yourself to see what it provides. Example:

I start by asking my Tivo, dhcp4, for a list of all the videos it has:

https://dhcp4/TiVoConnect?Command=QueryContainer&Container=/NowPlaying

(Username "tivo", password is your MAK.) Now, among the results, I see this:

Code:
<Item>
<Details>
<ContentType>video/x-tivo-raw-tts</ContentType>
<SourceFormat>video/x-tivo-raw-tts</SourceFormat>
<Title>Bridge to Terabithia</Title>

<Duration>5999000</Duration>

(The tags in this section are the ones usable in the container template.) I want to find out more about it, so I follow the link in the VideoDetails section:

https://dhcp4:443/TiVoVideoDetails?id=1296855

and get this:

(The tags in this section are the ones usable in the TvBus template.) Of course, that's just one movie -- it doesn't show all the possible tags. So you have to look at some more entries.

Another approach is to extract the XML from a .TiVo file; you can do that with tivodecode. It has the same info.

I just downloaded this and have been using it to put data on my shows and movies. Any chance you could add:

* .mpeg to the default files of type when selecting the video files?
* An option to disable the confirmation of writing the .txt file
* Ability to add more than one video directory
* A pull down above the "TV Shows" and "Movies" tab could allow selecting the video directory to use
* Ability to search with 'and' or 'or' in movies and ability to set this default in config (or remember it after it is changed)
* When a list of movies comes back could you put in parenthesis the first 3-4 actors? This would make finding some movies that are listed multiple times easier.
* Ability to make the meta generator window resizeable
* buttons to auto expand all episodes in a TV show, when searching through 6-10 seasons can take a while. Maybe a search box at the top of the episodes list that could simplify finding an episode
* When searching for "Blue's Clues" TV show under each season every episode is listed 3 times, it turns out if you double click the show name on the left box multiple times each double click duplicates the episodes on the right
* Is there a way to add a generic SeriesID to a movie? Like SH696969 top denote movies. I want all my movies to show up in one folder on the Tivo.

I will play with it more later

You can't arbitrarily create series IDs. You have to use real ones that are already known to the Tivo.

But could I use series IDs that already exist that I am pretty sure I don't watch but would help me categorize my shows/movies? For instance:

Kids Corner SH911668
Christmas Videos SH205556
Movie SH047539
Home Movies SH298935
Cartoon Cartoon SH281837

Thanks for the updates to the MetaGenerator MasterCephus - the recent updates were exactly what I was looking for.
