I did an update to add back the All Shows and add Favorite Shows.
All Shows should have meta-data now. It also has settings for view changes based on content. It sets the root directory to icon view for the station icons. You can change this in the settings.
I had it scan all the shows from TVDB but it might not have matched everything perfect. I did a quick scan through to correct anything I saw. You can fix anything incorrect via context item to refresh tvdb data.
You add/remove from favorites via context items on the show items.
I would reset the settings to default to make sure the disabled station list is correct. I am working to re-enable some of them but right not they could work or could cause problems. anyway the disabled stuff needs some more work even if it might be somewhat useful in its current form.
It is much much much prettier now. It should have more meta-data, fanart, banners, posters, ect. This combined with setting the default view makes it look nicer.
This database was partly to lay the ground work for the library export. I still need to fix some stations because they aren't utilizing all meta-data on videos available from the site. I want them all to use all available data. It should be fairly simple to setup exporting after that.
I was thinking of a feature similar to the library artist match from my VEVO plugin. If your favorite shows is empty It would basically just query your local TV database for a list of shows and then match that against what is available. It would add any matches to favorites. I could add a context item to re-add if your favs aren't empty.
anyone interested in a feature like this?
I am also going to play with the database to add more listing options based on the meta. I was thinking listing by year, actors, genres, original network, rating and maybe run time(half hour, hour, etc).
If anyone has any ideas let me know. I will probably add some sorting options to the all shows and favorite show lists.
If anyone finds any mismatched shows. I mean the meta-data doesn't match the available content.(like old version of show for new version of show content) I am trying to eliminate any of them. Post the station and show that has the problem. If you could link to the proper show on
http://thetvdb.com it would be helpful too. I can probably work it out if it is obvious though. Once I correct the mismatches then it should be fixed for everyone in the future.
