    Default Manually Defining Series/Episodes?

    I am a huge college sports fan, and record probably two dozen events over the course of a year, encode them down to HD H.264 videos and stream them across my home network. Unfortunately, Boxee doesn't really agree with this...

    Is there any way (or a plugin, or something) where I can manually set a series title (IE: Iowa Football 2009) and episode title (IE: Iowa vs Penn State), or am I stuck going to 'unresolved videos' forever and always?

    Currently, not conventionally possible.

    Since you're not going to find that kind of data on IMDB and it's generally outside the realm of what most users are using Boxee for, you'll probably have to do it yourself at the moment. There are a few posts scattered on the forum that deal with editing your Boxee database and/or software methods to do it with.

    You can also make a feature request over at Get Satisfaction.

    Its not just with custom content though, about half my TV series don't show up, and I'm not entirely sure why, but it'd be really nice to have some sort of interface for editing these types of things.

    Boxee shouldn't rely so heavily on IMDB! users should have control of their content.

    SQLIte Browser did the trick. Super easy, as long as you understand the idea of foreign keys.

    Thanks!
