[mythtv-users] Jamu not finding video metadata

[Doug Vaughan]

Andrew,
I do not know what the problem is as everything I tested worked without 
any interaction with jamu. My test cases all used the video file move 
capabilities of jamu but that is no different than just acting on video 
files in your MythVideo directory. In each case the metadata and 
graphics were downloaded andthe db was updated.

Here is what I tried:
./jamu.py -MI "/media/virtual/VB_Share/Tropic Thunder.mkv" 
"/media/video/0Review"
./jamu.py -MG "/media/virtual/VB_Share/Tropic Thunder.mkv" 
"/media/video/0Review"
./jamu.py -MGF "/media/virtual/VB_Share/Tropic Thunder.mkv" 
"/media/video/0Review"

The last one correctly renamed the video file to 
"/media/video/0Review/Tropic Thunder (2008).mkv"

I assume you are following the Jamu wiki on setting up a mass update 
with the -MI option. Depending on the size of your collection it can be 
tedious to get all the IMDB and TVDB numbers into MythVideo but it is a 
requirement.

You can also use MythVideo's metadata download function to acquire 
metadata. Make sure to scan you collection in MythVideo first ("M" option).

Jamu is only a stop gap until mass metadata update capabilities is added 
to MythVideo in a post 0.22 release (e.g. 0.23).
