Yammm - Yet Another Media Meta Manager

yea, well... that kinda goes back to my statement about the will power, time and more hdd's :) If i'm gonna tackle that so called problem or task, i'm gonna hit them all at once, which, i may find myself very busy. Have used aviJoiner in the past, i do like also.

My only problem now is that in MC, when viewing the "Movies" if there is a two part movie, it shows both parts. I guess the workaround is to either join the two, or does that create playlist for multi files do the trick of the same?

If you enabled hiding the files when creating a playlist is does the trick on Vista. On W7 RC1 it shows the hidden files so it actually makes the matter worse. I have 2 other ideas for getting around this but I'm waiting to see if they fix this in RTM prior to making those changes.

I think it creates a playlist and treats it as a single movie

update: never mind LOL

There is a batch file that can be run that reads a movie title & creates a folder of the same name & moves the movie file into it. DemonSeed provided a download for it file2folder.zip

The only drawback in your case would be any file with a CD1 or Part1 prefix will be put into it's own seperate directory

   Note

Handy if you have all/lot of files in 1 directory like i used to

Note sure how it comes to DemonSeed's batch file (haven't looked at it) but the below command will do it as well.

Code:

FOR %i IN (*.*) DO (IF NOT EXIST "%~ni" MD "%~ni") & (MOVE "%i" "%~ni")

Mikinho,

another question. Example, i have the movie Great Expectations, now this movie has been redone many times, tho this is the 1998 version, yammm wants to default back to 1946 version and folder.jpg. Is there a syntax with dates that will have yammm choose the correct version of a movie? another example is the new Halloween movie by rob zombie, and the new friday the 13th thats coming out in near future. Just wonder about how you have configured things to recognize what from what.

If you rename the folder to Great Expectations (1998) it is designed to use the date provided for matching. If it is reverting back to the 1946 let me know, I may have inadvertingly broke that when I was optimizing some regular expressions.

The way matching works for mutliple "exact" matches is:

1- Check if a year is present in the folder name, if so use that for matching first.

2- If no year is present then take the "most" popular of the two. The popular ranking is a score value given from The Movie DB.

I was thinking of adding an option to check the video runtime and compare it to the supplied runtime as a third check, thoughts?

Could you also explain the "Bin Fix" ? I just unwrapped a few old svcds, 2 and 3 cds. It recognized the one with just spaces in the title, info'd up just fine, poster as well, renamed all three. So i didnt understand quite what you meant by "bin fix" earlier

Right now it renames .bin and .cue files properly but the problem with this is that a .cue file is really a helper file. It contains the filename of the associate .bin file. The same thing happens with .dvd and .iso files. A .dvd file contains additional information on the image.

So when renames "Donnie-Darko.dvd" to "Donnie Darko (2001).dvd" and "Donnie-Darko.iso" to "Donnie Darko (2001).iso" it breaks the link between the two. For most image mounting tools this won't matter as you can mount directly from the .bin or .iso file but I'm still putting a fix in place.
