Multi-Disc DVD Profiler Import
ryttingm and stanger89 have a very interesting (to me at least) discussion going on a modification to the dvdpro2sage code that would add the ability to better deal with multi-disc sets. This would be nice to include in SageMC once ryttingm gets it working.

Well, I've decided to release this for more general testing. I still have no idea if this will have a negative impact on offline dvd profiler import so if you use that feature, use this mod with caution. First start by downloading it from here.
Extract the class file and place it into your DVDPro2Sage folder in your SageTV directory. I would recommend backing up your existing class file so you can revert if you run into issues. Re-start your client/gui ( You do not need to re-start service if you're running in that mode). Congratulations, it is now up and running. Now how to use it. Each DVD in your dvd profiler database will have a section called discs. There can be any number of discs starting at number 1. If you have the discs defined the import will not only look for folders/files that match the title of your DVD, but also match "Title - Disc #" where Disc # matches the Discs defined in your DVD Profiler database. In addition, like you can set the Original Title field in your DVD Profiler database to give and alternate folder/file name for your DVD, the Side A Description field in your DVD Profiler database can be used in a similar fashion giving an alternate folder/file name for each one of your discs in a multi-disc DVD setup. As more people get a chance to try it out and verify that it's working properly for them, we'll ask Mike and Dirk to include this in the baseline release of SageMC. -Mike Edit: I've started using google code to track changes.

Hi ryttingm,

This looks great Mike! I'll give it a spin this weekend and see if I have any issues.

Import seems to work just fine. Does anyone know if there is a way to nest the discs, so that the 4 discs of a tv shows appear above a master title?
Thanks!

I am having an issue getting this to work properly. I have only a couple folders setup for testing:
- DVDs - - August Rush - - - VIDEO_TS - - Cheaper by the Dozen - - - Main Feature (Widescreen) - - - - VIDEO_TS - - - Main Feature (Full Screen) - - - - VIDEO_TS When I refresh the DVD Profiler which include many more DVD's the Cheaper by the Dozen (Full Screen) shows as Alvin and The Chipmunks - Disc 1 and the (Widescreen) ahows as The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter - Disc 2 If I rename Main Feature (Full Screen) to Cheaper by the Dozen - Main Feature (Full Screen), I get not metadata If I rename Main Feature (Full Screen) to Disc 1, I get no metadata. If I rename Main Feature (Full Screen) to Cheaper by the Dozen - Disc 1, I get the metadata but now it is not showing the description instead of the disc number. |

1. your folder name that contains the VIDEO_TS directory can match the title in dvd profiler. This name will also get used as the episode title in sagetv which is what shows up in your video library. Your file system would look like this. DVDs -Cheaper by the Dozen --Cheaper by the Dozen - Disc 1 --Cheaper by the Dozen - Disc 2 and you would see Cheaper by the Dozen - Disc 1 Cheaper by the Dozen - Disc 2 in your videos folder. And as I type this I realize the second option isn't available. I have considered using one of the DVD profiler fields as an optional episode title so you could arbitrarily match any folder to any title. I just haven't implemented it. I was considering this so I could name my discs in my Band of Brothers boxed set by their episode title instead of by a boring disc #. -Mike |

The SageMC stv controls how things are displayed and sorted in their different views. This would have to be a request to Mike and Dirk.

Mike-
You fixed the other version of DVDPro2Sage for me a month or so back where it wasnt importing the genres. Theres no way to do it for this version of DVDPro2Sage? Its was here.. http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37453 Or do I use the file from that thread and over-write this one, but keep the jar file too?

Are you having trouble importing genres? I thought you were asking that the filesystem sort be available in genre view. That's what this thread is about. If you are getting blank genres and are using DVD profiler 3.5 make sure you are using the latest dvdpro2sage code found at http://code.google.com/p/dvdpro2sage/. I guess I don't really understand your question.
