MetaZ will no pre-populate the fields with the information it found on the Internet (using tagChimp, theMovieDB and others). For example just “Star Trek” will produce quite a long list.ĭouble click the best matching title in the list under the search box. A partial of the title will work as well, but keep in mind that the partial is not too generic. There you can correct the title to search for (press Enter to start the search). MetaZ will use the filename as a guess to what the title of the movie could be, which you can see in the “ Search” box. Next click the file (on the right) that you’d like to work on. Start MetaZ and drop files in the “Files to Write” areaĪdding files is easy: either press COMMAND + O to select files, or drag the file(s) to the “ Files to write” list on the right side of the MetaZ window (as illustrated above) or drop the files on the MetaZ icon in the dock. Just an illustration (based on iTunes) what the difference with and without metadata can look like: Sometimes they do require a different applications to do this though.īelow a short list of possible tools, based on Operating System: Note : Other so called “container” files like AVI, WMV, MOV, WMV and MKV have comparable options to add metadata. The same way we can add the so called Metadata – we just need the right tools for it. Audio, Video, Subtitles and a list of chapters. Adding Metadata to an MP4Īs you might already know, an MP4 file is in fact a so called container that can contain multiple “files” (as a figure of speech). You probably have seen it with music as well – where metadata is being used as well. A picture, poster or thumbnail of the movie.OK how about this – a list of possible Metadata you could add to a movie file: Now we need to create a new script in iFlicks 2 under the 'after processing' tab.Metadata, or data about content, for a movie file like an MP4 or M4V, is information about the movie (data) stored in the file. You will also need a copy of your User Key. The most important bit is to copy the API token/key as we will need this in a bit. You can put any details into the form (I only filled out name (iFlicks 2), Type (plugin). You will then need to create an 'iFlicks application'. Once the app has been download you need to register on the Pushover website (free) and set up your devices as registered. This is the app the receives the call from iFlicks 2 and sends the notification to your device. You will need to download an app called Pushover. ![]() Push Notifications: (which are unceremoniously copied from here. Remove sucessfully completed Videos from Queue.Send Pushover Notification on Completed TV show.Send Pushover Notification on Completed Movie.So I have 3 'after processing' iFlicks rules. It would be nice to do something with these. So now we have some media files which are converting in iFlicks 2. This rule look for a folder with the name of the tv show and stores it there, or creates one if not. Tv shows are slightly more complicated as I organise into specific folders: I can help you out with the naming tags if need be. This can obviously be set to your desired storage location and naming convention. I have two rules set up, one for tv shows and one for movies. Open preferences in iFlicks again and click rules.Ĭlick 'After Metadata Update'. Stay with me as this may get quite hard to follow. ![]() So now we have to set up a rule so iFlicks knows where to save and how to name your files. Once added make sure the little tick box is selected so it starts automatically. Open preferences and navigate to watch folders and then navigate to your conversion folder noted above. So we have the required media file in the conversion folder. Finally all 'useless' files are deleted such as. I have also set a rule up to ignore any mkv's / avi's less that 50MB. It basically goes into the folder (and subsequent folders within that folder) to unpack any files and then proceeds to move any mkv's or avi's into my conversion folder. I have the following rules set to activate when a file enters the pending folder: I don't think I have ever been so impressed with such a useful piece of software. I have then set a programme up called Hazel which is well worth the initial out lay. However, I can't really advise on too much more of that here. Now, I am subscribed to some RSS feeds which mean TV shows arrive on my iMac once they are released automagically. A guide for uninitiated to automate your iFlicks workflow.
