Will the following obtain and write the correct episode times to the YAMJ database/xml if set to true?

# Have mediainfo pull meta data tags from media files
# This data, if enabled, will override data in the NFO file
# Valid values are: true, false
mediainfo.metadata.enable=false

Will any changes be made to the NFO files?

The reason that I ask this is that most runtimes from thetvdb.com are incorrect as they allow for the advertising during the live broadcast, ie a 60 min runtime is usually 42 mins without ads.

As an aside, the actual runtime has decreased by 10 minutes over the last 10 years as I have some series that started 10 years ago that have a 52 min runtime = 10 mins more advertising in a 1 hour broadcast.

No wonder people are going to Media Players and downloading the ad-free episodes.

Never, ever enable that option. It will cause YAMJ to sell your children (even the ones you don't have) and setup a drug cartel in your basement. /jk

The basic premise behind using theTVDb runtime rather than the actually runtime was that the series only shows 1 runtime, and often the first episode in a series/season is a double episode and so you can get the wrong information on screen.

At least if it says "60 mins" on screen you know it's actually 42ish.

I'm glad I asked first instead of my usual bull-at-a-gate approach of trying it.

The children wouldn't have appreciate it but at some times, selling them has seemed am eminently fine idea.

I can get around it by editing the NFO files to what I want. (Have done this in some cases already to ones like "Band of Brothers" where the total series run time is used.)

The problem with that setting is that it's an all or nothing setting.
It reads the information from the movie in a similar fashion to an ID3 tag for music, the issue is really that there is never good information returned by that function, so you end up with dross.
