No Movie Coverart and DB won't show all movie titles??

Postby usd1550 on Fri Oct 20, 2006 7:18 am

Ok I respect Steve for what he has developed but it has reached its point where I'm close to paying for a front end.

I've figured out a couple of issues that turned out to be of the bad install varity. This one is driving me up a wall. My music database imorted just fine but the movies end up not showing all the titles(just blank space) and no coverart? I've tried DVD profiler(which I like) but the only way to show all titles is to reinstall and ignore dvd profiler but again no matter what i try no coverart for movies (again music works just fine). I've double checked paths everything is pointing to the right place??

Have you considered Ant Movie Catalog (AMC) and the XAnt plugin? It works a charm. You just create a catalog that is contained and maintained in AMC. XAnt just extracts information/covers from the catalog/cover directory and creates its database.

Everytime Xlobby is started, Xant will update the database automatically. I'm sure that there is a way to refresh without leaving Xlobby, but you would have to talk to someone else about that one. But your primary concern right now is just getting a usable database up and running, which I know first hand, AMC and XANT can do.

The French Team did a wonderful job with this plugin and well worth a look.

Hope this helps.

I believe you can do a refresh by creating an event in the event manager. XAnt has a rebuild function which I think will allow it to reimport your movie info.
