When I go to the BMT URL (http://192.168.0.7:8086/bmt/), I see a toolbar across the top of the page, then below that, "Phoenix", "Metadata Tools", and "SageTV".

that sounds correct.. you should have a green banner acrouss the top that looks something like stuckless's 1st post.

In any case, when I visit the page, I am not asked for the user name or password. I then get three pop up messages "Failed to get staus for:" "Phoenix", "Metadata Tools", and "SageTV".

as shipped the bmt jetty context file does not require authentication (fix is coming). See here for a modified context file that does require authentication
http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...postcount=1868

With the new context file see if you are still getting the "Failed to get status" errors...

I ran 1 MPG through MediaShrink today. BMT saw the file as changed and created the properties file for it. I did not need to do anything but convert it. So here is my question... It was stated a while ago that all the files need to be "touched" in order for Sage to pick up that they have been changed. Is that still the case? Because I got the impression that the new web UI did that when you did a full import. I could be wrong. Thanks.

stuckless, here is a section of my log where I ran 1 file through the command line. At the end of this is a whole lot of blank lines. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks razrsharpe,

It looks like the problem may lie with Jetty, as I get this error:

Error 404 - Not Found.

No context on this server matched or handled this request.
Contexts known to this server are:
/bmt ---> org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext@141fe06{/bmt,C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\jetty/webapps/bmt.war}
/ ---> org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler@150be9{/,file:/C:/Program%20Files/SageTV/SageTV/jetty/static}

I'll follow up in the Jetty thread. Thank you for pointing it out.

Hi again,

I believe that I have confirmed that the jetty plugin is installed and running correctly. I added a jetty/static/index.html file w/ a test message and it shows up correctly.

I shut down the sage server and deleted the /bmt directory, then restarted the sage server. Same result.

Thanks.

The web ui will touch the files and directly update the metadata for the media objects. When you run via the commandline it will touch the files, and sage should pick up the changes. Your current log shows that it did do the search and bring back metadata, although most of it is null... If you know that there is metadata at tvdb but you are not picking up the changed, then I would remove your SAGETV_HOME/cache dir and re-run the scan. BMT appears to hold onto the cached data longer than it should.

You have some duplicate jars in your classpath (ie, SAGETV_HOME/JARs/ directory).

I've bolded the ones that you need to remove...

There may be others from other plugins, but those are the only 2 that will have an impact on bmt.

As per above, I checked sage.properties and it does indeed point to the right place ("bmt/urlconfiguration/cacheDir=D\:\\SageCache\\url").

And yes, I did restart the server

Are you running the SageTV client on the server as well? I'm not sure how this all works when running both the client and service on the server, so you may also have to check for and update the 'cacheDir' lines in the SageClient.properties file too. Other than that I'm not sure what else to suggest...it's working for me running service on WHS and using MVP clients and a networked PC client.

These are the cacheDir lines I have in my sage.properties:

/phoenix/imageutil/cacheDir=D\:\\shares\\Movies\\myMovies\\FanArt\\Phoenix\\cache\\images\\scaled
bmt/urlconfiguration/cacheDir=D\:\\shares\\Movies\\myMovies\\FanArt\\Phoenix\\cache\\url
phoenix/imageutil/cacheDir=D\:\\shares\\Movies\\myMovies\\FanArt\\Phoenix\\cache\\imagefactory

Hi Stuckless,

Cool. Thank you very much. That appears to have done the trick!

[bluenote]

This is such an awesome plugin, thank you once again stuckless.

When shows are done importing, can I delete .profile files without hurting anything (or causing a new .properties file to be created?) ... Using the automatic plugin here, but sometimes I use the other options too, so I guess I want to know about that in all cases.

--- Below is my original question which I have answered just in case someone else has the same problem.
I'm noticing that while I do have a central fanart folder, and its populated, (and there is some stuff in there ... ?) when I delete all .jpgs and .properties files from my import directories, and rescan import folders from sage, I end up with .jpeg files (and _background.jpg) files in the folders with my media files.

I've confirmed the path in the two places I can find it (in sagemc extras I think, and when you do options -> fanart options from the import library I believe). Have I missed something? Is it possible that maybe the IMDB auto lookup is running from sagemc and this is what is creating these jpgs?

Or are those jpgs supposed to be there, despite the existence of a central fan art folder?

EDIT2: I found the answer to my own question, which I'll post here for anyone else running across in a search ..
The "central fan art folder" shows up twice in the SageMC interface, and once in the Web UI, and it seems to me, that the Web UI setting seems to take precedence.

thanks guys !

Cory

[stuckless]

@cnovak - .jpgs in the same folder as the media under the following conditions...
1. Central Fanart Enabled but there is no central fanart folder
2. Enable default STV compatibility is enabled, and central fanart is enabled.

The .properties files are created in the same folder as the media always, and it's location cannot be changed. You can remove the .properties once the import is complete. BMT will, unfortunately, re-created them, if you select to update your collection. ie, bmt uses the data/time on the .properties and mediafile to determine if a media should be updated.

[bluenote]

Thanks stuckless. Thanks to BMT and fanart my PVR is being bragged about to everyone around me who might care. (and to some who don't)

Hi Guys,

I finally installed Jetty, and Extracted the BMI files needed.

I can view http://myserver:8500/bmt/ just fine and I can see the page that says "Metadata Tools".

So now I'm at a stand still because I do no know where to go from here?

How to get going here? My intention was to get movie information for my avi files.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

If your movies are already imported into sage, then click the "scan" button and then do a scan.

But if your movies are not already imported into sagetv, then you can use the bmt commandline to run a scan against the movies.

[bluenote]

Is it currently possible to have BMT rename files to the same format as it sets the title as?

[razrsharpe]

no

EDIT: look at SJQ... you should be able to do it with that... or mediascraper... guessing with both of those but you should be able to definitely do it with sjq not sure about mediascraper

[rdabate]

I finally got BMI working and I love it.

My avi's are grouped into folders by category, Action, Drama, SciFi, etc.

I view my files, "By Folders" within in STV.

However, I really like how the view looks when I view my files by "Titles" with in STV.
Problem with this is that it dumps everything together and it makes finding a movies difficult.

I like how the "view by titles" shows the movie name" overlaying" the cover art. Is there anyway to somehow get this same view when viewing by "Folders"?

[bluenote]

Have a look at TVE (link in razrsharpes sig above), and Sage Movie Wall [check the customizations list], they are what I'm working with atm. SMW is beautiful in general, but the interface is really inconsistent and quite painful to learn how to use, your experience may be different. (It's a beautiful and useful concept though).

TVE is much better and polished and well thought out, it just needs a few tweaks here and there to be perfect if you ask me.

If you find a better overall solution please post, because unfortunately I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel here. Hopefully one day sage or sagemc will have better support for episodes and movies with fanart/meta.

SMW generally does movies and TVE generally does TV just to clarify.

good luck

Also, the "RunningTime" does not seem to appear in the Movie info screen. I've attached an example screen shot of a movie and its generated .properties.

Stuckless, are you still working on the duration for DVDs problem? Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss the fix.

Thanks.
