Movie Metadata

#1

I do not understand why my Movies do not show any metadata even though each of them have a metadata file in the same directory as the movie folder. All I see is no synopsis available. I do see the folder.jpg image that is in the same folder. All I have stored on my win 7 media center pc is recorded tv and everything else is on my win 8 server. Each computer is running Ceton My Media Center but the yammm is turned off on each and I got the metadata file through media center master. The metadata does not show when viewed from my media center running on my server either.

If you are using "My Movies" then go to the My Movies site, I bet there would be some good info there for ya. I tried it a year ago, and had nothing but problems so I gave it up.

If your using the built in Movie Library... there are some options like YAMM to help with that..

I never understood why but YAMMM never seemed to do anything for me. I recently followed these directions. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11353/ad ... e-library/ After running for days nothing. What is the trick.
