Imorting hundreds of AVI-s

[DarthPeacemaker]

Then create a file called makelist.bat in this folder, containing this:

Code: Select all

for %%a in (*.avi) do echo %%a > %%a.film

Save and close this .bat file, then execute it (double click on it)
This will create a .avi.film file for each .avi file...

Great work.
It's possyble to avoid extension when import the title, and import also translated title (some than original title)?
Thanks

That solution is pretty limited. See the other suggestions/programs of the page for better solutions.

I tried the other options and for the moment i like more your method (very simple with only execute the .bat file and drag/drop)

because now i can't too many movies to import i will do individually and I will eliminate the extension manually.

Thanks again

[antp]

The other solutions seemed easier, for me
It is maybe possible to remove extension in the batchfile, but I do not remember how sub-strings could be made from the original name.

I'm "working" for now on a small shell Delphi application for windows which use MediaInfo.DLL.
It's inspired from the source of MVList.
It was fastly reworked to parse "AVI/MKV/ISO".

It made a CSV File which import well in the last AMC Beta (with header autorecognitaion : when present; headers.csv file is added at the begining of the result.csv)

v0.1 for now, need some more testings.

It may be released under GPL soon.

A simple batch file is used to create a collection.csv file from a drop of a folder.

It incorporate .nfo into comments (with '\n' return for carriage return tweaks )

It also use the MVList "tweak" about renaming file with a "DESCRIPT.ION" file. (thanks for this to the author of MVList, great idea).

Any comments will be welcome before the first public release. (and may be after )

I have to complete the readme.

It corrects also the accentuations of french characters for examples (to be tested in other languages).

When you remember I will be thankful that you explain it to me. at the moment it is enough with which already I have.
Thanks

(also i hope the program of gely for test it)

Bye

When you remember I will be thankful that you explain it to me.

Well, I would not remember just like that, a morning, "now I remember"
I searched with Google and found in few seconds something better:
replace "echo %%a" by "echo %%~na"

project "online" in v0.0.2 : http://medialistexport.sourceforge.net/

thanks to antp (tested with the last beta)...

Thanks antp. Works very good.
For me is the faster method to import 4/6 movies (1 dvd) each time
just 1 clik and drag/drop. Very simple
For more movies can be better other method... but i like this

Hi guys,

as there is currently no feature to watch a folder for new/removed movies, I was thinking of launching avilist via command line to generate a new .csv file, then use diff & add the new movies to ANT.
But Avilist does not seem to use command line ? Does medialistexport do this?
Is there a way to remove movies from ANT via CSV as well?

eg.
diff avilist.csv_old avilist.csv
9d8
< "Fearless";"Q:\movies\!OK\Fearless\Fearless.avi";"699";"1";"XviD MPEG-4 Codec";"492x358";"23";"12000";"MPEG Layer 3 (MP3)";96
15a15
> "la nina santa";"Q:\movies\!OK\La Nina Santa\la nina santa.avi";"701";"1";"XviD MPEG-4 Codec";"576x304";"29";"14000";"MPEG Layer 3 (MP3)";112


=> I'd need to delete Fearless and Add la nina santa (easier...)

No, sorry.

[chfau]

What would be the effect of editing the xml file & removing the lins containing those strings ?

e.g a ux script might do the trick: (ccc.xml being my ANT xml db)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
IFSold=$IFS
IFS=\"
grepoutput=`diff avilist.csv_old avilist.csv | grep "<" | cut -d";" -f2`
for name in $grepoutput
do
echo $name
line=`grep -n -F "$name" ccc.xml | cut -d":" -f1`
if test $name
then
if test $line
 then
 sedargs="-e "$line"d "$sedargs
 fi
fi
done

#echo $sedargs
IFS=$IFSold
sed $sedargs ccc.xml >ccc2.xml

First off I would like to say great program.

This script is great and it would do what I need it to do but here is my problem. Since I started to use this program I have over 100 movies in the data base. Since then I have needed to add 50+ to the database. That is where this comes in very handy. But, when I do this to all my file it creates duplicates of the 100+ movie already added. I do see that there is a "find duplicates" script but that just creates a file telling me what I have as duplicates. I can do that by sorting by title. I have done a lot of work to get the current file the way I wanted them so deleting all first would be out of the question. Is there an easier way to get the new movies imported that I am missing?

[antp]

I do not think that it is possible to make that automatically, sorry.

[Wotan]

as of right now...can Ant scan a dvd (with several avi's) and add the movies and information?

[antp]

No, you have to add movies one by one or use one of the tricks/programs given on this topic.

[txtman]

I've made a simple Bulk Import Tool for Ant Movie DB.

- Scans a given directory and all subdirs at first level
- Uses the subdirfoldername as moviename in Ant DB or the filename of the moviefile
- uses a folder.jpg in the subdir of a movie as the linked cover to the movie
- if you add movies to your movie dir later, only newer movies will be imported
- can run silently without dialogboxes or open windows
- no support for splitted movies (Ant does not support that either)

Iv'e written this quicky for my own needs as a part of the import of new movies into my meedio home theater system.

Maybe if there is enough interest here i would add more features...

Freeware. You need .NET 3.5 SP1 (maybe it runs with .NET 2, did not try).

have fun.

[skynetbbs]

would be great if it would check in all folders as well...
I made a

C
...
Z
folder structure

[txtman]

I will take a closer look and give feedback here
