DESCRIPTION

Utility routines for dealing with movie files and the database.

EXPORTED SUBROUTINES

get_missing()

  get_missing($FILENAME)

Returns any avi entries which do not exist on the local file system. Note: will not decode MRLs; assumes straight filenames.

get_title()

  get_title($FILENAME)

Turns a filename into a default title by removing the suffix, deleting type prefixes (such as 'movie', 'music', or 'short'), transforming underscores to spaces, and capitalizing words.

get_length()

  get_length($FILENAME)

If $FILENAME is readable by Xine, returns the file length. If $FILENAME is unreadable or nonexistent, croaks with "Couldn't open '$FILENAME'".

add_movie()

  add_movie($FILENAME, $TITLE, $LENGTH)

Adds a movie to the database as schedulable content, with $FILENAME as the filename, $TITLE as the title, and $LENGTH as the length. $TITLE and $LENGTH are optional; if they're left out, they'll be derived from the file.

add_fill()

  add_fill($FILENAME, $TITLE, $LENGTH)

Adds a movie to the database as fill content, with $FILENAME as the filename, $TITLE as the title, and $LENGTH as the length. $TITLE and $LENGTH are optional; they'll be derived from the movie file if not specified.

fix_all_lengths()

Runs through all items in the database and rereads and fixes the lengths.
