Software
Windows 7 Media Center SP1
Kodi 17 public Release
ServerWMC 1.0.0.62 build:1244
MCEBuddy 2.4 Release 6
I need some help with this setup.
All I want to do is set this up so that I can remove commercials and properly name files with the proper metadata so that kodi can properly show the recordings and scrap fanart and information of these files. Does that make sense? I have been using serverwmc and kodi without MCEBuddy, but get never get proper naming , info and mostly fanart to work in Kodi for these.
What I did.
I have everything installed and configured but not sure if everything is working the way I want yet.
I created a sub folder in RecordedTV called RecordedTV. When I go to this subfolder, I can see everything is being organized well by MCEBuddy.
I did this for organizational purposes to start off with. The goal is to keep wtv files in tact. But to remove commercials and add the all important information so that Kodi gives me a better presentation for recorded tv. If the test recordings go well, I will have MCEBuddy delete the original recording.
Question: do I need a subfolder here or should I just use the parent directory?
How does this affect mapping between serverwmc and Kodi? Do I need to change the recorded folder in serverwmc to RecordedTV/RecordedTV?
Serverwmc Settings
Since I’m using MCEBuddy
Do I check Append episode title to series title?
Do I check Remux active recording?
Should I check Ignore Recording Images from WMC?(I do not plan to use Windows media Center extenders anymore)
Should I check Ignore EPG images from WMC?(I do not plan to use Windows media Center extenders anymore)
I don’t where in serverwmc where I can trigger MCEBuddy to process a recording once it is finished. This is a feature correct?
Probably not the right place to ask the following, but if someone is doing what I’m setting out to do, please chime in.
MCEBuddy Setup
I don’t want to shrink files or change formats. But I want to remove commercials and properly name and organize files. It’s important that Kodi picks up the proper information so I am left with a more consistent look from one section to another(WAF).
So what are the ideal settings to accomplish this?
Thank you. It’s a lot to ask, but when you are using 4 different programs to achieve one goal, it can get confusing.
