meta<browser/>

Please check your settings after update, as some might have changed or reset.

This was released a little earlier than planned mainly to fix a renaming issue with tv episodes, which was pointed out by one of meta<browser/>'s users. Although this bug wouldn't affect 99% of you, I still thought I should roll out a release to fix this issue.

MediaInfo¶

Please note, that this version and all subsequent releases will be targeted at x86 systems (yes, it will still work fine on x64 machines). This was done because of the YouTube downloader plugin and flash not working correctly (or w/o a 64-bit flash update) with x64 systems.

What does this mean for MediaInfo? Well, it means that the MediaInfo.dll MUST be the x86 build even if you are running a x64 system. So, if you currently have a 64-bit version of MediaInfo.dll, please replace it with a 32-bit version and place it in C:\ProgramFiles\MetaBrowser 2.0 by downloading the latest version from here.

YouTube Trailers¶

This plugin was thought of many times, as it has a wealth of trailers, especially for older movies, but was always thrown out as an automated way to grab trailers b/c there was no concrete way to match the search results returned to the actual movie.

So now, instead of an automated way, this global plugin will allow you to manually search for and download trailers for your movies within the meta<browser/> interface.

Rotten Tomatoes Fetcher¶

Fetches metadata from Rotten Tomatoes using their newly available API.

You will have to Register for a Rotten Tomatoes API account and enter the API Key in the plugin settings.

* Note: If you already have a Mashery account for Netflix, you can use the same account, just get an API Key for Rotten Tomatoes.

One issue with the API is that it currently does not return Descriptions for all movies, this is not a meta<browser/> issue but a rights issue with distributing synopsis (read more here).
