TVScout gets a forum (and a new version)!
Sam decided the shenanigans of the 10 page/103 post thread on TVScout was to come to an end, and has given TVScout it’s own sub forum on the VideoBrowser forums!
TVScout started off purely as a way to stop me from using/installing the Ruby command line tool, so this both fantastic and weird to see how far it’s gone.
There is also a new version of TVScout out (it has been for a week now), version 0.8
New features
- Metadata caching; caching all the data for quicker processing when updating. Cache is currently hardcoded to ‘expire’ every two weeks. vNext will include options to customise that.
- Customizable file extension list, ie support for DVR-MS/or any other file type you can think of, just by editing/appending the config file (you need to edit the TVScout.Exe.Config file using something like notepad)
- New tabbed GUI
- "Ignore" control files. Create a new file (blank text document), rename it to "ignore" (no file extension), and the folder will be ignored by TVScout (place it in the root directory of the show, ie C:\myshows\Stargate SG1\ignore. This is particularly useful for when a show has finished (Stargate SG-1 would be a good example)
As always, download from CodePlex
Version 0.9 is coming along nicely too, it will feature the logo above, as well as add a few new features like the ability to fetch movie metadata, a TVScout service (optional) to automagically handle all your metadata, and a show management utility.
