Working on additional features

Issue #138 closed

Hi Damiano and Douglas,

since you are very active the last days i just wanted to inform you, that i started to add some features and fixed some things. I am working with Version 1.04, because i had to revert some commits in order to compile successfully, so maybe i have missed some of your later commits.

Right now, I have implemented the following:

  • chapterdb support

  • fixed the xmlreader for kodi styled nfo plus added a MetadataImporter for nfos in order to easily select the desired artwork (currently movies only)

  • a way to convert kodi styled mpaa rating to iTunes compatible content rating e.g. <mpaa>Germany:16</mpaa> will be tagged correctly

  • some tweaks in the preferences, e.g. included a default language

  • the chapter track language will be changed to your enabled audio track language (fallback is the specified default language in the prefs) (this is another option in the preferences) This will fix the problem with missing chapter information on the new AppleTV 4

Right now, i am polishing my implementations and add some additional stuff like TV Show support to the XML Reader. The next thing i will work on, is a way to automatically set fallback tracks for AC3 6-CH Audio Tracks and enable them by default. This will fix the problem, with the messed up audio track selection and naming on the new Apple TV.

If you know a way to implement a Xcode like Play Button, please let me know. I have no idea how to code something like this, but i want the search button to show a dropdown list after a longer click. So you can choose between metadata search or chapter search if you hold the click or directly go to the metadata search window with a normal click

Furthermore, i want to tell you, i like your programming style. I tried to stick to it in my implementations. I would be glad to share my work and hope to commit my additions to your repository as soon as the code is commit-worthy :)

Greetings Michael

    I've committed the updated mp4v2 lib, you should be able to build the latest revision now (but only on 32bit). Any addition is welcomed, I recommend to make a pull request for each independent feature, so we can track things better. I should have a implementation of a button similar to the Xcode one somewhere, I'll try to find it.
