1st When adding movie tags it would be nice if the following fields would be populated: Name, Genre, MPAA Rating, cnID, Media Kind, HD tag.
Hi bbyers70,
Thanks for the suggestions!
The Add Movie Tags Action is meant for batch tagging, so I tried to keep it to the basics: Album Artists, Release Date, Genre, Description and Cover Art. I also included iTunes rDNS atom that adds an xml style plist to the file so it will also display: Director, Screenwriters, Actors and Producers, etc, when viewed on an Apple TV or thru Front Row. The Add TV Tag Action receives all these tags in addition to Show Name, Episode Name, Episode Number, Season Number and Episode Description.
In addition to these tags, the Batch Encode Action includes most of the other items you're looking for. For HD sources, the output files receive additional tags for: cnID number, media type (Short Movie=9 or TV show=10) and HD flag. DVD sources do not receive a cnID or HD flag.
MPAA ratings are not available from themoviedb.org at this time. I believe this is something they are currently working on, but may take a while before the database is populated. I will definitely add it once it's available.
The Title tag (name) is something I intentionally left out, since iTunes sets the title to the filename minus extension. So if your files are named correctly (which they should be if you're using the Action), it really isn't necessary.
The Media Type tag was something I forgot to include in the Add Movie Tags Action. It's done by separate sub-routine in the Batch Encode action that does the cnID and HD flag, so the code never made it over.
I'll definitely add the media type, rating (when available) and perhaps the HD flag into the Add Movie Tags Action, but it might be better just to use Subler or another Automator workflow for setting the cnID & HD flag outside of the Batch Encode Action. I'll think more on it.
Oh, BTW, I do have an Add Genre to Movie Items action that I'll be adding in the next update, along with one or two others.
Thanks, mac.jedi
