Change info of movies and tv-shows

[Jeroenrs]

I just updated to Boxee beta, and unluckily Boxee has to scan my whole library again. Also, it recognizes a lot of tv-shows as movies, and I can't find a button that let's me change the info about the video. It existed in Boxee alpha, I used it all the time.

Where is this button, does it still exist?
Thanks.

That sticky is only saying that I should click the button I used to click in Boxee Alpha.

I'm a little frustrated since the release of the Beta version, a lot of the options available in Alpha seems to be removed. And especially the option to change the information of the video files is very, very important. All my tv-shows (about 300 episodes) are recognized as movies, with the wrong title, picture, year etc.

Jeroenrs - Welcome to Beta

The manual renaming and editing was temporarily removed from Beta for several reasons upon the release of Beta in December. The single biggest issue for mixed up names etc are in the naming of the files. Also, you need to have deleted your userdata file during the change to beta, as this can cause issues too.

I have over 400 titles and only 12 are indexed incorrectly on Beta. I must have been lucky I guess. :D

Please see the link provided to aide you in making the necessary changes to your database and/or submit changes to the Boxee database until the manual renaming feature has been re-enabled in a future build of beta.

Without re-hashing here the need for the function's return to Boxee and or reasons it was removed: for more background or other info on all of that, please use the search on the forums. :cool:

Renaming everything does the job. However I really want the edit-button back since Boxee recognizes some files incorrectly. I'm hoping to see it in a future beta.

You're not the only one -- it's by far one of the most popularly requested features :)
