Thank you SOOOOO much!!!

Hello,

I have downloaded this app and really like it. I have most of my movie collection stored on a number of NAS drives and I note that when I have these NAS drives turned off that DVD Library Manager no longer displays these movies. I tried to select local drive to store the Meta Data but I can not seem to figure it out.

Additionally, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to load all the information once I do have the NAS drives turned on.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I'm having a problem using this program (windows 7 rc 64 bit)
im trying to add cover art and info to a box set of firefly, however, every time i edit the metadata for one disc, it does it for each one (e.g if i change the name for one to "Firefly Disc 1" then the other 3 discs are also named "Firefly Disc 1"
Does anyone know how I can fix this or work around it?

thanks

Just installed this software and tried it out.  Imported the movie info/cover art from Amazon and all that.  Opened VMC and the movie is there, of course.  Cover art is there.  But, no movie info (i.e. actors, synopsis, etc).  I checked and the xml file is there in the movie folder.  Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?  Thanks to anyone for help.  :)

**Problem solved...partially.  I've got the movie info showing up in VMC now, but it's still not showing up on my XBOX 360.  See my question in the next post.

I'm using DVD Library Manager and the movie info (actors, synopsis, etc) is showing up in VMC just fine now, but not on my XBOX 360 MC Extender.  The movies show up with the cover art and they play just fine, but, like I said, no movie info.  Any idea how to fix this?

I just changed the location of my DVD folder (to an external USB drive).  I added the new location in VMC but none of the metadata is showing up in MC.  The cover art and the taranu.dvdid.xml are still in each of the DVD folders.  Is there some setting I need to change in DVD Library Manager?

This utility is GREAT!Thanks for writing and sharing it!

 Hi,

i`m buying Windows 7 this autumn. But it`s going to be finnish -language version. Will DVD Library Manager work in that or is it just for english version of windows?

Enjoy.

 Taranu, thank you very much for this. I love it.  And Tim, thanks for DVDXML.com - these two resources are great.

 One question I have with DVD libray manager:  I can access the Amazon downloads just fine, but have so far been stumped with any success from IMDB.  Any suggestions from the community to fix? 

 The IMDB form pops up just fine, but the search results always return zilch.

 Thanks in advance for any advice.

The movie title has to match what's in IMDB exactly.  As IMDB always has the year that the movie was released in parentheses next to the title now, that's what you have to search on.  I always go into IMDB first, search for the movie via it's title (doesn't have to be exact like in DVD Library Manager) and then note how it's displayed.  For instance, "An American Crime" will yield no search results in DVD Library Manager for IMDB, but "An American Crime (2007)" will.  Hope that helps.  :)

IMDB has recently changed their layout and my parsing code is not working anymore. I don't have a Windows development machine right now (my only Windows machine is my HTPC, I use a Mac for everything else) but I will try working on the program under a virtual machine. No promises on time though, I just got back from vacation.

Thanks a lot for this great tool, it is exacty what I've been looking for.

I also finaly managed to get the meta information about the DVDs centrally stored on my fileserver, but it is a bit tricky. Here 's how to do it:

On the mediacenter PC the folder: C:\Users\mediacenter\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\eHome\DvdInfoCache has to be moved on a network share an then symlinked.
For this open a console window (start->cmd->enter) and type: mklink /B C:\Users\mediacenter\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\eHome\DvdInfoCache \\fileserver\dvd\DvdInfoCache

You also have to ensure that the mediacenter PC has write access to the network share or it will simply ignore the xml files there (this drove me almost nuts)!

Hi Taranu,

 

DVD Library Manager is NOT PARSING AMAZON correctly anymore.

I've been using this program for about a year now. I have been downloading dvd info and cover art from amazon since the imdb parsing was failing.

This morning amazon downloads also started failing which I suspect is due to a website change on their part which is resulting in a parsing failure.

Can you confirm whether this is something I'm doing with the latest titles. The following all fail to find anything: Bowling for Columbine, The Code, and Race to Witch Mountain. Online queries on amazon.com successfully returns results. 

Thx,

Bill Maurer 

Yes, unrivaled excellent application for Vista/W7 Media Center (kudos again)!  Like Bill, above, I am reliant on this app.

Alas, I am experiencing the same issue - thinking Amazon has altered their data...
