Options For "Unitentified" Videos?

[JasperKJ]

I have a few shows and movies that are listed as "Unidentified" and even if I do the search (identify), "no results found" or different titles come up. I know these are on IMDB because if I search the site via PC, they show up with poster art and all, but nothing via the Boxee Box.

What can I do with these, there is no option to manually categorize them is there? I just want them showing up in the movies or shows list.

I have the same problems. There is nothing we can do for now.

how are your files named?

I know renaming the files themselves is not the most convenient solution but mine are all named:

Film name (Year).avi

or

TV Show - S01E01.avi

and they are all identified fine (and i have 600 movies+ a ridiculous amount of TV). Search IMDB and make sure yours are named the same and they should scrape OK.

Did they get found by .9 version on your PC/other Boxee system and just now broke on Boxee Box ? If so that's another broken/missing feature.

i would find it hard to believe (and completely ridiculous if its the case) that the scraping abilities of boxee have worsened in the 1.0

Why would the devs make code worse!?!!

Why indeed. Then again, they seem to have made it worse everywhere else

Yeah, I name my the same way. The thing is the search just doesn't find the programs in IMDB for some reason. I even input it exactly the same way it's listed in IMDB via PC.

For example: my Boxee Box search can't find "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer & the Island of Misfit Toys". Yes, I have kids.

Will anyone else's?

Hence the reason we really need the ability to use local cover art and meta data. I have kids, too, and have a lot of Scooby Doo, Bob the Builder, iCarly, that sort of thing. All of it is not on IMDB, so those movies don't even show up if you aren't given the option to not use IMDB.

+1 on this. the ability for local nfo/art/metadata is a needed feature

<add this to lists of XBMC does this, boxee doesnt gripe list>

[ripper2982]

+1 for local folder art and meta data.
+1 for a way to manually identify files without need for imdb info.
