  • Page 148: First Things First

    The most important FireBall requirement for the automatic disc lookup feature is the presence of a working Internet connection. Without an active Internet connection, FireBall can’t contact the online Gracenote CDDB™ database or the Escient MovieDB™ database, where information is stored for millions of music and movie titles.
  • Page 149 Gracenote CDDB™ (for Music discs) or to the Escient MovieDB™ (for DVDs) using your Internet connection. The CDDB and MovieDB return information about the disc to your FireBall. FireBall adds this information to your local media library and displays it on your TV.
  • Page 150 Unknown or missing. 4) Recent Releases Gracenote CDDB™ and Escient’s MovieDB™ are updated regularly, however you may find that a new release is not yet in the database and will not be correctly identified. 5) Different Version, Release, Edition, or Pressing The record labels and movie studios often release more than 1 version of a CD or DVD.
  • Page 151 FireBall keeps a map of each slot in each changer and will lookup each disc based on which slots have changed status from occupied to empty or empty to occupied. 6325 Digital Way Indianapolis, IN 46278 317.616.6789 phone 317.616.6790 fax www.escient.com...

All manually entered data is replaced. Get Movie/Music Info The Get Movie Info and Get Music Info features are available via the Options Menu when in the Movies Guide or Player and the Music Guide or Player.
  • Page 154 Unknown Info will lookup all information for the Unknown movie discs in your changer. Unknown Covers will lookup the cover art images for all movies that don’t have original cover art. 6325 Digital Way Indianapolis, IN 46278 317.616.6789 phone 317.616.6790 fax www.escient.com...
  • Page 155 When disc information is returned for the disc, the Edit Disc Information screen displays the new data (if available). This gives you the opportunity to CANCEL or SAVE the new information with the Disc. 6325 Digital Way Indianapolis, IN 46278 317.616.6789 phone 317.616.6790 fax www.escient.com...
  • Page 156 Manually Adding Disc Information There are several methods for manually adding your own disc information should the Gracenote CDDB™ or Escient MovieDB™ return incorrect or no information at all for discs in your collection. We will describe the tools available within FireBall to help you identify, add, and edit disc information for your Unknown Movie and Music titles.
  • Page 157 When you decide which title is the correct title, press the SELECT key and the Edit Disc Info screen will display the information for the selected disc. 6325 Digital Way Indianapolis, IN 46278 317.616.6789 phone 317.616.6790 fax www.escient.com...

The Edit Disc Info dialog screen allows you to manually enter information for your Unknown discs and assign generic or custom cover art. Use your IR remote or keyboard to enter data into each field on the screen.
  • Page 160 Sometimes a disc is identified by the Gracenote CDDB™ but the original album art cover is not available. This is because the Gracenote CDDB™ does not contain any album covers and the Escient album art cover server may have the cover listed under a slightly different artist/title combination.
