View/edit metadata library

[Elvis71]

I have some items that are incorrectly matched in the metadata process. I would like a feature that allows me to view and edit the metadata library. E.g. manually link a file with an imdb entry etc.

Thanks for your great work.

I would like this too.
For example, an episode of Lost is called on my pc 'Lost S0601' but on serviio I get 'LA X (1)' as name.

I hope you'll find a way that I can disable this but for movies I still get the image from the internet.

Did you try Lost S06E01 ?

I don't think this feature will be implemented, at least not in a near future. Serviio is not really a media management system and for 99% of your content it gets the proper metadata (if you follow the file naming conventions).

As a higher possibility I see integration with something like My Movies - those guys already have metadata management in place and Serviio could just read My Movies files instead of going online.

That sounds like a great idea to me. Apart from my movies, could you look into a connection with Media Browser? http://www.mediabrowser.tv/

Implementing "My Movies" but ignoring those XML files swisscenter provides, are we?

Add a feature request to the issue tracker and we'll see how it goes I haven't decided yet what kind of functionality will go into 0.5

Sorry typ error, the name is indead S06E01 on my pc but on serviio 'LA X (1)'

Uhm... I'd like to be able to edit metadata too. I think one of the best way could be to use MySQL for storing all the data. Perhaps I'm asking too much...

So apart from installing serviio, you'd need to also install a complete MySQL server? Sounds pretty much overkill to me..

Serviio uses SQL DB to store the data, Apache Derby. You can connect to it via a JDBC driver and edit the data manually if you wish. There will not be a proper metadata editor though.

No, I don't think so. If you already have a running linux, to have or not to have MySQL installed it does not change a lot. MySQL is not resource-eating, unless you setup a server and give a lot of of job (I mean really a lot) to MySQL...
...Under Windows could be different...

Thanks, this is interesting.. I'll try...

LAX (1) is the title of the episode 1 of the 6th season, LAX (2) the second, What Kate Does is the third, etc...

What's the best way to open the database file so I can edit it manually?
I want to fix some of the names of things.
I had Iron Man named Ironman, so it named it Lauf um Dein Leben - Vom Junkie zum Ironman
Is the only way to fix it through Serviio to name the file correctly and force it to grab the metadata for my entire collection again?
Also, I had Get Him To The Greek (Unrated) and it didn't find it online so now it doesn't appear in the Movies category. Is there any easy way of seeing what didn't get put into a category? It seems the only way I can find it is to trawl through the Titles category or go to the folder directly. Is there a better way of managing the metadata rather than letting Serviio do it directly? Could I use something that creates XBMC style info and get Serviio to use that?

Just rename the file to Iron Man and it'll get removed and added again with the correct title.

Cool, I was hoping that would happen. What about stuff that doesn't get put into categories? I wish there was another presentation category called Unknown or something, then I could easily see what was missed and go and fix the filenames up.
If I could access the database I could find the files that are missing metadata and figure it out myself. What format is it in?

Thanks, any chance of adding a presentation category for files with missing metadata in a future release?
Awesome app btw

Not for now. You should be able to double check metadata via the Last Added category.
