Data Provider List Management
Enables the ability to Manage ie. Add, Edit, etc the list of Data Provider(s)
There are 2 methods how to access the Data Provider List Management:
– Directly via Metadata Utility’s Main Interface
– Directly via the Switchboard Management Interface
Data Provider List Management via Metadata Utility’s Main Interface
From the Main Switchboard, click on ‘Enter/View Information Switchboard’
click on ‘Metadata Utility Switchboard’
click on ‘Metadata Utility’
Once Metadata Utility’s Main Interface is opened, then search for a Movie (or Show), then double click on the ‘Data Provider’ Drop Down Field to Open the Data Provider List Management
Metadata Utility comes with a Pre-Build List of 2 of Data Providers: The Movie Database (TMDb) and IMDB.
Metadata Utility’s Movie Online Search Tool enables you to automatically add most of your movies. The Movie Database (TMDb) is the main provider that Metadata Utility’s Movie Online Search Tool uses to search the Movie Metadata Information.
If you want to add more Data Providers, then you can always Double Click on the Data Provider Field to Open the Data Provider List and Edit, Add/Edit, as needed.
Note: If you overwrite, rename or delete a Data Provider, then keep in mind that Data Provider, if it has already been linked to any of your movies, then that Data Provider will be also lost (or edited) for all movies linked to it (Remember Metadata utility is an RDBMS. Since all Data is linked, if you change one record, you can potentially affect many other records).
We recommend, that you don’t Delete a Data Provider, but better Add more, if needed.
You can add up to 5399 Data Providers before Metadata Utility will require additional action : ).
While ‘Data Provider’ Key is opened you won’t be able to click on any other Windows that may be opened in the background. Close ‘Data Provider’ Key to be able to go back to any other opened windows that may be opened in the background inside ‘Metadata Utility.
Note: Use extreme caution before deleting ANY Data Provider from the list as a deletion of a Data Provider will also delete that Data Provider Information from ALL Records that were linked to that Data Provider. This also applies to renaming an existing Data Provider . If you rename an existing Data Provider in the list, then all records linked to that Data Provider will automatically also be updated.
