Still can't get this to work.
- I installed the new patch for reading metadata from external files.
- I created 2 test nfo files and placed them in the same directory as the files
'
1992-10-04 to 1993-05-24 DVD#01.nfo' for the target file '1992-10-04 to 1993-05-24 DVD#01.mpg'
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<movie>

- I deleted the two home movies from Mezzmo DB and then ran Maintain Playlist on my video files with- all Metadata Retrieval Settings checked
- Only update new files or files with empty attributes
- This run brought the files back into the library with the funky names created from improperly reading the date info from the file name.
- I then deleted the files again and ran Maintain Playlist on my video files with- all Metadata Retrieval Settings unchecked except for (i) "Get text metadata and artwork from series.xml and episode.xml", and "Get text metadata and artwork from movie.xml and mymovies.xml"
- Only update new files or files with empty attributes
- This run brought the files back into the library with no metadata at all.
