After reading a bunch of posts here I’m somewhat confused
I have an external HDD with about 750GB of movies on it. Some with meta-data, some not, also not perfectly organized.
What would be the best and simplest way to transfer these files to the WD hub’s internal drive?
Should I organize my files neatly first, and then copy?
Should I find meta-data, before I move the files?
Should I attach my HDD to the hub with USB and then sync? or copy?
Or do the whole proces over my G-network?
It seems that generally slow transfer speeds makes you wanna do this RIGHT the first time
So, to the experienced users, how do you transfer your files to the HUB?
Yes to organizing. make some sub folders for TV programmes etc. Then move this into the movies folder of the hub.
regarding metadata. At present there is no easy way to merge your metadata with the Hub. We hope WD have the wisdom to bring out a decent editor. It is doubtful you metadata will match what the hub needs. A typical metafil elooks like this. All the metafiles live in a “metadata” folder at the root directory. You will probably have to “get content info” for each file.
I am not sure about usb speeds as I network. Whichever way it is probably an overnight job.
