I've written a script to automatically sort videos according to
their structure on disk. There's some change you need to make
to the config.xml to enable custom scripts (I forget what), then
I modified addVideo() in /usr/share/mediatomb/js/import.js to
do the necessary logic.
Basically, it means you see the file system echoed structure on
the PS3, which may or may not be what you want. I have a fairly
sensible structure, so it works quite well.
The addVideo() code is below:
/**
* Custom import for video, grab the whole hierarchy below the
* '/opt/data/mpeg' root. This should allow a reasonably intelligent
* layout in the client.
*
* Currently, there is no metadata on video items that we can use.
*/
function addVideo(obj)
{
var location = obj.location.split('/');
var chain = new Array('Video');
var idx = 0;
for (i=0; i < location.length-1; i++) {
if (location[i] == "mpeg") {
idx = i+1;
break;
}
}
for (; idx < location.length-1; idx++) {
chain.push(location[idx]); //genre name (Movies, TVShows, etc)
}
//chain.push(location[location.length-3]); //genre name (Movies, TVShows,
etc)
//chain.push(location[location.length-2]); //series/movie name (Movie1,
TVShow1,)
addCdsObject(obj, createContainerChain(chain));
}
