Would like this metadata to be allowed to be read when looking at video titles

Issue #392 wontfix
Former user created an issue

There is a program that I have been using for years called PyTivo. It has been created and modified in www.sourceforge.com over and over again by people like the creator of Serviio and other members. I use this program to stream video to my TIVO and to get recorded videos from it as well. When I go to the "Now Playing list" of the tivo and pick my server, I see all my videos listed, When I pick a video, I then see metadata about the video. The way I get that information is very easily done with the use of a program created by one person, then modified recently by another with the help of other members. This program can gather the information of either TV Shows, Movies, or you can add you own information if not found or for something of your own making. It also downloads a *.jpg file of the show or movie. The information you then save as a text file, is information you would see from IMDB.

The link to PYTIVO is ====> http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/forum/

The link link to the metadataGenerator is ===> http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/forum/met ... t1786.html

Being a newbie to Serviio, which I have found to be truly terrific, I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate the text metadata into the program and even be able to see the *.jpg file it gets for the video as well. I understand that the program Streambaby can show all of this information created with the program.

Here is the what the information looks like in a text file when generated. I have hit enter so you have extra line spacing to make it easier to read.

title : 36th Precinct

movieYear : 2004

description : Rival cops Leo Vrinks (Daniel Auteuil) and Denis Klein (Gerard Depardieu) both seek to solve a series of robberies while vying for the same promotion in this tense crime drama from France. As their adversarial relationship intensifies, the line between right and wrong becomes blurred. When Vrinks's wife (Valeria Golino) -- who's also Klein's former girlfriend -- is drawn into the fray, the competition grows even more brutal.

I am not sure if Serviio has a feature similar or not but I am still looking in the help files and in the forums. Maybe though it would be an easy amtter for someone to look at these programs and see how to make them work with Serviio.

Thanks

    Is there another way to show movie information when looking at the directory of title listing in Serviio 0.52

    I see that I am seeing, actor, director, and some other information now on my Panasonic TV with Serviio but I can not see "PLOT INFORMATION". How do I get that to be shown. There is no listing in the category portion of presentation.

    thank you
