Problems with nfo files

Hi,

I already have a very large collection of movies together with detailed information about the movies in a self-made html file structure.

As Serviio can handle nfo xml files, I wrote a python script to convert my html files into nfo xml files so that I can use my already existing meta-data together with Serviio.

The import of this nfo files into Serviio seems to work well, even with german umlauts as long as I use utf-8 for encoding, but a few problems still remain:

* Some nice-to-have tags like 'Rating' or 'Original-Title' seem to be missing.
* For tags like 'Genre', 'Actor', 'Writer' and 'Title' (original and foreign ones) only the first one of each is used by Serviio. All other tags are ignored.

So from the following file:

<movie>
<title>Paul Blart: Mall Cop</title>
<title>Der Kaufhaus Cop</title>
<rating>5.2</rating>
<year>2009</year>
<runtime>91 min</runtime>
<quality>Perfect</quality>
<genre>Action</genre>
<genre>Comedy</genre>
<genre>Crime</genre>
<director>Steve Carr</director>
<actor>
<name>Kevin James</name>
<name>Keir O'Donnell</name>
<name>Jayma Mays</name>
<name>Raini Rodriguez</name>
...
</actor>
<credits>
<writer>Kevin James</writer>
<writer>Nick Bakay</writer>
</credits>
<thumb>Paul Blart: Mall Cop [Der Kaufhaus Cop] 2009 [5.2].jpg</thumb>
</movie>


only the following data is extracted:

The question is: Is it possible to extract more data from the nfo files or with some other metadata-filetype?

Re: Problems with nfo files

Some nice-to-have tags like 'Rating' or 'Original-Title' seem to be missing.

true, not supported by the librry yet, raing is request afaik

For tags like 'Genre', 'Actor', 'Writer' and 'Title' (original and foreign ones) only the first one of each is used by Serviio. All other tags are ignored.

Genre and Writer only supporte single entry in the db, Actor supports multiple (but you have to have multiple <Actor> elements in the xml), title is supported, but only the default one

Re: Problems with nfo files

OK, structures like:

<actor>
<name>Kevin James</name>
</actor>
<actor>
<name>Keir O'Donnell</name>
</actor>
<actor>
<name>Jayma Mays</name>
</actor>

work perfectly.
And as long as I name my files according to the original title, but put the german title into the nfo files, I can have my files accessible with both titles.
Only problem is the single genre, which is a bit annoying as it's really hard to find a best fitting genre for some movies. So it would be nice if we could have multiple genres someday.
