yeah... you need to define "meta files" for your files.

Lets say you have a file called "SpiderMan(2002)x264.mkv"
To "register" the file with CCML, you have to make a file called SpiderMan(2002)x264.mkv.meta (text file)
Notice that the ".meta" suffix has to be appended to the complete file name (including the old extension)..so:

File setup:
SpiderMan(2002)x264.mkv
SpiderMan(2002)x264.mkv.meta

The contents in that meta file could be like:

Code: Select all

Master=Movie
A-Z=S
Genre=Action
Genre=Adventure
Genre=Fantasy
Year=2002
Now restart UMS, and go into #- CCML -# folder, and you will see the structure is now reflecting what you typed in the meta file.
