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

Type Mapping¶

Type Mappings brings a little flexibility on what media type to assign to your media items. The mappings are based on file extension and file size and should cover most bases on tagging your media types correctly. Folder rips (VIDEO_TS, BDVM, HVDVD_TS) are automatically mapped to DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD.

To configure your mappings go to Settings->Mappings->Type.

You can easily process all your items and run it through the new Type Mappings using Process All:

• Click on Process All button
• Under Settings tab, make sure nothing is checked in all 4 tabs (movies/series/season/episode) except Type in the movies and episode tab (since that's all you want to update, that's the only thing that needs to be checked).
• Click on the Process List tab
• Click on Generate List
• Click on Process List

Episode Sorting¶

Episode sorting has been a part of meta<browser/> for a while now, but this update brings the ability to sort your episodes based on air date and sorting dvr-ms/wtv recordings with embedded metadata.

So now, for example, if your monitored sorting location has filenames with air dates in them, meta<browser/> will be able to automatically sort them in the correct location and fetch all metadata.

Example of filenames w/ air date:

• The.Daily.Show-2011-02-16.xyz.mkv
• The.Colbert.Report.2010.10.05.mkv

Along with air date sorting, you can now drop your recorded dvr-ms/wtv files in the monitored sorting location and meta<browser/> can read it's embedded metadata and sort/fetch metadata for it.

* Note: TVDb plugin must be installed for this to work.

Metadata Cleanup¶

Previously known as Studio Cleanup, this update brings the ability to clean your Genres and Studios. If using MediaBrowser, you can import your genres/studios list from the ImagesByName folder.

Please read here for more details about this plugin.

Process Profiles¶

Process profiles got a few updates.

First, it is now possible to manually trigger a profile to run. Just go to Settings->Process Profiles and click on the green arrow next to the profile you wish to run.

Second, you can now optionally specify a saved filter to use which the profile will run against. You first have to setup a Saved Filter, after which it will be selectable in the Process Profiles options.

Please note, that the filtering for Process Profile is a little different than in Process All, in that, Process Profile is a lot more specific. For example, if you have a profile to only process items with MediaType='Series', then, it will only process the Series level and will not process its Seasons or Episodes. For that, you have to specify an exact filter of exactly what media items you want to process by including all 3 media types (series/season/episodes) in your filter.
