How to tell if a disc is a movie or TV show?
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 1:21 am
I can use minlength on a movie disc and if I set it to 3600, I pretty much only get 1 title, ever. But if the disc contains TV shows, they'll usually be 40-something minutes per episode -- but that's only for shows that have one hour (with commercials) episodes. For a show with 30 minute episodes, the length can be as little as 21 minutes. (Maybe even shorter, but I found one episode of Seinfeld that's 21:00.)
But if I set minlength to 20 minutes, there are bound to be plenty of movies with extras that are 20+ minutes. The one thing that comes to mind is to get a count of how many titles are 60+ minutes. If it's 1, it's a movie. If there are 3-5 titles that are at least 40 minutes long, obviously a TV show (with "1 hour" episodes)
Has anybody come up with a solution to this dilemma?
