No. And I never will. I tried it 5 years ago, and again 2 months ago. It still sucks in my opinion, except for the eye candy and automated scraping (once the scraping misses in XBMC, you do have problems though). with JRMC you don't. Automatic scraping is really one of the very very few downsides with MC16's. With Sickbeard and headphones, all but Movies is now covered.
MC16 have tools for grabbing meta data, but it's not automatic or batch tools yet. There is plug-ins to do this job better though. An integrated and flexible solution is probably right around the corner, as they have spent some time in making code to identifying media types, and getting movie names and titles, episode, season numbers and such from file names.
In the meantime I'm trying to make solution that will convert the meta data from Couch Potato.
Quote:Edit: at the risk of sounding snarky, what are you even using JRMC for?!
I can mention a few things:
- Streaming of Music and Video from server to clients, phones, pads, web pages etc
- Touch pad control of Theater View (control big screen with pad or similar)
- multi client and sync relationship
- Best media library ever created
- Most customizable media player ever
- Automatic video codec and filter setup, with highest video quality possible
- User created tags
- Standard view for maintenance and work station playback
- About 100% media file support
- Audiophiles wet dream
That's just things taken top of my head. The real question is, why are people still using XBMC :-) For novice users and small collectors, I get it. It's easy to get into. But for people with real interests in media, no. I don't get it.
Over to the real question though. Anyone have an idea to get the meta data pulled from Couch Potato without having XBMC?
