| Media Center Master's Wiki Editing Guide | |

|
|
The current version of Media Center Master is 2.05. There are major changes to the program as to how it is represented in the wiki. The changes are on going and makes it difficult to up date the wiki. As of December 11, 2012, for premium licensed users, only, Media Center Master has it's own, private, NZB Indexing Site. There is no additional account registration required to use the indexing service with Media Center Master. A complete Quick Set-up: Premium Version, Usenet Downloads guide is available in the wiki. The biggest change in Version 2.04 took place were the "log," and "media summary" viewing area use to be. After adding media and clicking on a title from the media list, several tabs (i.e., Log, Summary, Metadata, and Files) will appear in the right side pane. More tabs are scheduled to be added in the future, such as: Media Info, Trailers/Subtitles, and a Episode Metadata Editor. There have also been several changes made in the "Settings and Preferences" tabs. Some new tabs, and new settings have been added. The "Renaming" tab was changed to "Organization," and several of the old settings have been move from one tab to another. None of the settings have been removed from the program. Version 1.32 is used for the examples in the wiki, unless otherwise noted. Although it may take a bit more work to find some settings, the wiki is still a valuable tool for a new user to get Media Center Master up and running. All of the settings used in the guides for a test run are still available, and should be used as described in the guides. | |

Additional Information

Step 1 - Before configuring Media Center Master to add a new TV Series to the collection, it is important for the user to know the correct name and spelling of a current airing TV Series with new episodes being shown weekly. A good place to make sure of this is to visit the EZTVShow List page.
- Begin with changing the "Filter Show List by Status:" to "Airing" with the "pull down menu" button (∨), to get the current airing TV Series.
- Pay close attention to the "Status" of the shows, "Airing: Irregularly" or "Airing:..."
- Pick a TV Series, making sure it is an "Airing:..." series.
- Highlight the complete name with the left mouse button to select it for copy and pasting into Media Center Master.
- Return to Media Center Master
Step 2 - Open the "Add a T.V. series..." window through the "Media" menu.
Step 3 - Click on the single listing, to select and highlight the "Folder to auto-scan" (TV Show Archive folder location), click "Next."
Step 4 - The name for the TV Series used in the this example, Covert Affairs, is used for demonstration purposes, only. The user should not use it for a first run testing.
- Paste the name of the chosen TV Series selected above into the "Search by title:" blank area,
- Click the "Search" button, after a few seconds, the chosen TV Series information should show in the "Selected T.V. series:" area,
- If the TV Series is listed, click the "Next" button then continue to Step 5.
- If the TV Series does not show up, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
Step 5 - Assuming all of the data provided to the internet sites used for this step is up to date, there should be a "Confirm Settings:" listing showing "Status: Continuing" for the selected show.
- The check box for "Keep this series up to date with new episodes" should have a check in it.
- If the check is present, click the "Finish" button to close the "Add a T.V. Series..." window and continue to Step 6.
- If the check is not present, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 - 4.
Step 6 - There should now be an entry added to the "Media in your collection:"
- At the top, left, the name of the selected show with some date related to it is shown.
- In the middle, right, the log shows the processes of what Media Center Master did, during the adding of the new TV Series.
- At the bottom, right, there is a graphic representation of the data fetched by Media Center Master for the new TV Series.
