This software provides a simplified Media Center user interface to your recorded TV collection.
The Recorded TV Manager MetaData Service is a Windows Service Application which runs on a Windows 7 Media Center machine on the network, and maintains an XML database of all current recorded TV metadata. The MetaData Service monitors all folders on the network which store recorded TV files, both DVR-MS and WTV files. Creating and maintaining the MetaData XML database is done automatically in the background by the MetaData Service and requires no user intervention once the software has been set up.
(Note that this software is included in Recorded TV Manager 4 as part of the SmartMove Service.)
