I have attached an updated IMDB web source script for IMDB, which meets my needs for "all the metadata that I can get"... :slight_smile:

In addition, I have attached 3 Actions which should be run on the file(s) in question, AFTER the web script has been run to complete the "work".

Download the web script
Place the script in: %appdata%\mp3tag\data\sources

  • Download the 3 action files "Finish Setting Video Tags.mta" and "Fix Tag Case (iTunEXTC, etc).mta" and "Find bad plist.mta"

  • Copy the files to directory:
    %appdata%\Mp3tag\data\actions

I recommend running the actions in this order (so place them in the actions dialog of MP3Tag in this order):

  1. Find Bad Plist (in case the script screwed up, and the plist is broken)
  2. Finish Setting Video Tags (copies information to other relevant tags
  3. Fix Tag Case (so for example, ITUNEXTC becomes iTunEXTC)

The web script as it stands pull and populates/stores the following data in your mp4 file:

  • Artists ("/" delimited)

  • Genre (the first non-"Drama". If only "Drama" exists, use it)

  • Composer (i.e. writters, "/" delimited)

  • IMDB ID

  • IMDB Rating

  • Director ("/" delimited)

  • Producer ("/" delimited)

  • ReleaseDate

  • MPAA Rating and REASON (stored in iTunEXTC. Reason is not used anywhere yet AFAIK).

    • If rating is "USA:NC-17", then the itunes "Advisory" tag is also set.
  • Description

  • Tagline

  • IMDB Keywords

  • iTunMOVI (which Apple TV etc uses), containing:

  • Studio
  • Screenwriters
  • Directors
  • Producers
  • Cast

Given a couple of limitations/bugs in mp3tag, you have then then create and run the following action on the file AFTER running the web script:

  • Right click on the file you just ran the script on, and select: "Convert" and then "Actions"

  • Make sure only "Finish Setting Video Tags" and "Fix Tag Case (iTunEXTC, etc)" and "Find bad plist" have their checkboxes "checked", and are in the order that I originally mentioned at the top of this post.

  • Click "Ok"

Hope this helps people.

<<EDIT: "Country" was a little finiky, so I removed it... Makes the script more stable overall...>>
