Boxee Box not showing Genres properly #35

Closed difelice closed 9 years ago

Hi,

First, this is the best media manager for mac I have found.

So far I'm having minor issues with the Boxee Box, I know you don't have a way to test this device so I hope I can help.

Genres

Looks like Boxee Box supports a specific list of genres:

The genres tag can include only the supported descriptors, they should be separated be space and comma. “,”. Genre List: ACTION, ADVENTURE, ANIMATION, COMEDY, CRIME, DOCUMENTARY, DRAMA, FAMILY, FANTASY, FILM_NOIR, HISTORY, MUSIC, MUSICAL, MYSTERY, NEWS, ROMANCE, SCI_FI, SHORT, SPORT, THRILLER, WAR, WESTERN

Not sure how can we deal with this, could be mapping genres? Ex.:

{ "SCI_FI" : ["SCIENCE-FICTION", "SCIENCE FICTION"], }

Trailers

On the movie info view there's no trailers, not sure how this is implemented on Boxee Box though.

Thanks.

Is Science fiction the only problem? or are there more?

In the latest nightly build, i've made ViMM change 'Science-Fiction' and 'Science Fiction' to 'SCIFI', and any spaces translated to "" on NFO file save. https://www.mediafire.com/?8j6ve2f4je6et

Thanks!

Genres seems to work now, some of them are not in the list though: ANIMATION, ROMANCE

The issue with trailers is the Youtube URL, if I replace the first occurrence with a mp4 URL it works. Is it possible to change the trailer source?

Thank you.

Genres seems to work fine in nightly version. Thanks.
