Hi Milhouse
Indeed. I've been looking at the post announcing mklocal.py, and can't quite discern the minimum number of parameters required to make it do what I need . I desperately need that knocked-up script, to fix/restore the non-standard art every time a scan wipes it out !
The chicken-and-egg thing is making me crazy... how can I create a process that will recognize these non-standard guys and "automatically" re-associate them with their respective movies ? Also, can it be run repeatedly without messing up any fixes done previously ?
OK, I presume it's possible . Curiosity (on my part) wants to know how the three steps you outline work together. What does the vscan do/create, that mklocal then acts upon ?
(BTW, you might check the 5th paragraph in that mklocal post - I think a typo has crept into the example of mapping a local file to a URL)
Oh, and... I read most of the AD thread as you suggested... man, I need a shower after going through all that ! You deserve uber-points for patience .
ps: I'm having no luck understanding what fields can be queried with the "extrajson.* = fieldname" parameters in the config file. I thought the info here would show me a list, but no.
