DVD profiler and Covers w/metamask?...

Postby Colby on Sat Nov 18, 2006 11:38 pm

I like a lot of us, use DvD profiler to catelog my movies. Each movie has its own folder with the vob files and 1 jpg always called folder. This is my coverart.

Now when I export the xml from dvdpro as I add new movies, then refresh the movie db, inheritly I have to edit my database to correct location of coverart.

Now my questions are since the coverart will always be named folder.jpg and reside in the movie's directory, is there a metamask I can set up to yeild folder always the cover.

Or.

Can I set up in DvdProfiler to always find the cover in the folder I rip to?

Any worthwile, non critical advice is appriciative. Thanks.

Why don't you use the coverart from DVDProfiler ? I deleted my cover art JPEGs along time ago with the metadata files for the DVDProfler XML export. The only thing I found was you have to be careful on some of the funny ways movie's are named to make sure XLobby, DVD XML and your folder structure map. I found if I get a blank cover image it usually is a movie name slightly different in the two.
