What area does your enhancement or feature relate to? (i.e. Config/Setup,
GUI, options, Skin, AMC Updater, Grabber Interface, etc.)
Mainly (if not only) AMC Updater
What is the purpose or benefit of the new feature or enhancement?
Currently it is very difficult to import a disc you insert in a drive to your
catalog using AMC Updater. Although there are several good features for DVD/BDs
they apply mainly to rips/copies on the HDD. The main problem is that the DVD
label is added to the Media Label field, not to the Title field, so it is quite
difficult to match the movie for import.
How would you expect it to work? (Accessed via, new settings required, Skin
changes/new properties)
I would suggest on the Import Movies tab in AMCU either:
1. A checkbox to "Automatically import inserted disc" - then press import as
usual
- this could also enable import in GUI to read discs
2. A button to "Read and import inserted disc" - invokes a separate 'process'
so less consistent but might be 'safer' than doing a full import.
When you select the option, AMCU reads from the disc drive - adds the DiscID
using the DirectShowLib method: IDvdInfo2::GetDiscID() to a new DiscID field
and adds the DVD disc label to the Title field instead of/ or as well as/ to
the Media Label field. Titles should be 'cleaned up' based on the settings on
the Options tab - notably remove the underscore character ('_' which normally
appears in disc labels)
If you do not select Internet lookup then AMCU reads media info only based on
the DB fields tab settings. If you select Internet lookup, then AMCU tries to
'match' based on the clean Title, or opens the manual matching dialog the same
as for HDD movies.
Can you illustrate it with examples such
as images (screenshots), scenarios or examples from other Plugins?
Option 1 is similar to MovingPictures plugin.
NOTE: This issue may be related to Issue #343: Jump to movie when disc inserted
- since it would import a unique DiscID that could be used to identify the
movie in the catalog/db when inserted while in MF GUI
