Thanks to bmaaske for this information
If you want nPVR to create an XML file with the metadata and also rename the file in a manner such that MCEBuddy can extract the information from the filename and XML files use the following steps:
Enable nPVR to output a metadata XML file:
Add this line in the section of your nPVR config.XML file
<StoreSeparateMetadataXml>true</StoreSeparateMetadataXml>
Enabling File Naming in a format with Season and Episode information for MCEBuddy to extract. These options are set through the GUI in nPVR:
- Use S01E01 file naming format if possible (Checked)
- Use Move.Name.(Year) format for movies if possible (Checked)
- Replace spaces with period character (Checked)
Use Schedules Direct for nPVR guide data
MCEBuddy can also use the default
SHOWNAME_AIRDATE_AIRTIME
file naming format to extract and download information from the internet. Refer to this thread for more information on metadata extraction.
