Calibre documentaries management

vedri · 07-30-2013, 08:47 AM

Boys and girls hi!

I would like to use calibre not just for books but also for documentaries and elearning content that is in mp3 or video format, but i came on a problem, how to download metadata from imdb or someplace else?

I installed Search the internet plugin but don't know how to configure for imdb (if thats possible)

Second question, i have some audio content that is divided in smaller parts, like 10 mp3, after i add it to calibre i create series of that particular audiobook. But, when i open particular file of that audiobook (Path: click to open) the file is not in the folder with other files of that audiobook but in some random folder.. What i want to say is: files from one audiobook are not in one folder but they are spread out on various folders, i presume based on their name or what i dont know.

I am totally new to calibre so please bear with me

all help is greatly appreciated!!!!

cheers, vedri!

Calibre is not designed to process Audio or Video content.

Some folk have found a way to store a Audio Book in the Library.

Calibre does not store books as Series , it stores Series metadata.
All storage is individual books. Metadata is used to retrieve members of a series.

Calibre is not currently optimized for audio books, but this thread might help you find info on what other folks do in respect to audio books.
