OK, all of my problems with Beta5 were fixed in Beta6. I’m probably going to get rid of my AppleTV (silver w/Crystal HD) and just use the AppleTV (Black) as it’s working so well given my current (Synology NAS, all of my DVDs ripped) setup. BRAVO!!!
My only problem, so far:
media play will see my DVD rip folders and play DVDs fine, but it gets the metadata COMPLETELY wrong. For example:
For ones that say “Disc 1” or “Disc 2” it doesn’t get it right at all, ever. Is there a way I can put a “hint” file, maybe, so that I can identify what the bloody show is? I really don’t like that it shows the metadata for some crappy movie I don’t own or want instead of my clearly defined (to me, anyways) organization structure!
I thought that this might be the case, a logical progression too, excellent news. I was wondering if the future version might be able to display artwork from a Folder Name too, rather than only the media file?
I don’t mind the not being able to edit/modify/search, etc, I’m just hoping for something like:
hint.xml in folder containing
<file name=“video_ts”>
<hints>
<ASIN>B003L77GZQ</ASIN>
</hints>
</file>
or something like that: just so that if i know what it is, you won’t spend time in the media program trying to find out information that’s already available…
