Support / XML File Export not picking up change to Genre
« on: January 19, 2014, 11:46:29 pm »
I have changed the genre on some of my videos, and I am repeatedly attempting to export the XML file with the changes.  However, the genre is not changing.

After making the changes, I have verified that the change takes place, even so far as to exit PVD all together and restart it, but I can't get it to update the XML file.  This started recently and with some newer videos I have added, they are showing with no genre as the xml export has seemingly stopped grabbing that value.  I did have a custom created genre that was 2 words.  I changed that to a single word thinking that might be causing a problem, but no luck there.  As a matter of fact, after changing from two words to one, the videos that were originally saved with the 2 word format are still that way.

In other words, it is not updating the genre any longer.  Any advice is appreciated.

Support / Manually adding video image
« on: January 19, 2014, 12:32:51 am »
I am adding some home videos to my PVD.  I am using the screen shot capture feature, and then copying and pasting that picture as the poster image on the file.  I am then saving the image to disk in the images folder as a TIF from within PVD.  Everything looks fine inside PVD, but the XML export is not tagging that image file as part of the record.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Support / Remove portions of File Path within PVD
« on: January 18, 2014, 06:43:00 am »
I have my DVDs stored on an external hard drive with the drive letter E:.  My PC is set up as a web server to stream my movies to my TV.  When creating the XML file, I need the file path to simply be the file name without the path.  At this time, I am manually using replace in Notepad to update the XML file any time I update it, but that is certainly error prone.

Is there some way within PVD that I can tell it the root directory of my videos, and have it only include any path information beyond that root?

Thanks for your help!
