How to change ShowID from MV to something that will be TV?
Scanned in some shows. Worked great on many, but some are messed up.
Genre = Movie/whatever ShowID starts with MV which I know is for Movies. Trying to figure out how to track down the cause/fix for this. |

You can change the ShowID to EP####### using the web ui, but if if BMT imported the show and it did have a showid of MV### then bmt would have treated that as a movie. But, unless bmt found a good hit on that movie, then it would not actually update any metadata fields.

ok...restarted from scratch. V7.1.7, lowered criteria from .9 to .8
tweaked a couple other stuff (remove relative path, un-import, remove .properties, mass Fetch Metadata with Import Recordings. Seemed to work this time. Now to write it down, repeat multiple times running from scratch to make sure I have the process down in prep of doing Prod box. PS. yes, it was MVmt.... |

Downton Abbey and Smallville are currently causing me grief, but I've had it with other TV series too (Luther springs to mind). Each episode will record but not show up at all in my recordings (either current or archived). Each episode is listed in my movies folder, complete with artwork in the case of Downton Abbey. An example external ID would be "MVmtede73a0", this starts with MVmt which I understand indicates a movie, but where is this ID coming from? If I try and change the Metadata in BMT it will still revert to a Movie when I save. Is there anything I can do to force these recordings to show up as recordings and not movies? I'd appreciate any help that can be offered here as it's polluting my movies folder with many TV shows. Thanks, Mark. |

This may be the problem I am having which I started a new thread on. When you say you physically removed them, do you mean you cut and pasted them somewhere sage can't see them, then put them back? Should I exit sage prior to moving them and putting them back?

I've had the same problem with BMT not saving changes I've made to the metadata. What I do is go to the individual recording in the menu, click on it and in the resulting options menu I click Manage Metadata and change what I want - it always seems to save from there.
Not great for vast numbers of items but good for just a few. |
