Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2012-04-18 The developers of Media Companion would like to advise of the latest stable release Media Companion V3.500 From the great work started by Billyad2000, Media Companion has gone open source with many developers shaping MC into the Movie and TV Show scraper we all love. Latest Beta and release notes: New Release MC3.767b as at 2025-01-05 Both 32 (x86) and 64bit (x64) builds Download Link New features added. All Preferences are in one Form. Music Video Support Hard work has gone into updating the Wiki Documentation for all functions of Media companion. Please browse these pages, as there are many functions and features of Media Companion you may not be aware of. To Reduce duplication of the same information. See Revision History for current release and previous release fixes and features Requirements: Windows OS, XP, Vista and Win 7. Dot Net 4.0 Internet Connection: Now scrape all the nfo's, posters and screenshots/fanart to be placed with your TV Shows and Movies. Be in control of all the data with your video files, and confirm the images, synopsis etc are correct before Kodi adds them into the Library. Media Companion Currently supports Movies and TV Shows. Movie Features include.
![]() TV Show features include.
![]() Music Video features include.
![]() Also included is mc_com.exe, a command-line option to scrape your Movies and Tv Shows. Code: mc_com.exe -e ##Scan for new TV Show episodes Great for putting into batch jobs, or adding to Sickbeard post-processing script. Please post any questions here and we will endeavor to assist. If there is an issue please create a Ticket at Media Companion on SourceForge - Tickets page RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - d3maxt - 2012-04-18 Awesome! As I wrote in the other thread for the older version, is there a way for MC3 to create a "extrafanart" folder and save multiple or all 1920x1080 fanart to it? This folder is used by some XBMC skins for displaying random fanart. Thanks! RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - vbat99 - 2012-04-18 (2012-04-18, 01:07)d3maxt Wrote: Awesome! Hi d3maxt This isn't available in this release of MC, but could be added as a new feature. I'll note this on the codeplex site for HueyHQ or StormyKnight to flag as a feature. http://mediacompanion.codeplex.com/workitem/429 Fee free to check the codeplex site and join.

Thanks! Probably the easiest way would be on the fanart tab to right click on the desired fanart and just have another line there (in addition to save fanart as...) to save the image as extrafanart\extrafanartX.jpg inside the selected movie folder (x obviously would go up in number). RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - steve1977 - 2012-04-18 What about trailer download? Also, any plans to see basic music functionality shortly (artist info and art, artist, no album related info to keep things simple)?

I think we want to get the movies and TV shows right before we venture into music. But you're right, I think music will round it out as a "media" companion! Probably when we get into v3.600 territory, or may even qualify as a v4.0 release! RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - guyonphone - 2012-04-18 I know this is a long shot, but is there any possible way you may think about adding a music section to media companion, that would scrape band pics, and album art from last.fm or all music?

Music is a large undertaking, being able to pick from id3 tags or the file-name, and getting it right is not a small task. But, It has been mentioned before, and may see its way into MC. RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - trpltongue - 2012-04-18 As I mentioned in the other thread, I think MC is a great program. I've only been testing for a couple days but I've been very impressed. I'm curious about the trailer download comment. I saw the checkbox for downloading trailers, but MC didn't seem to download any for my test setup of about 30 movies (all new releases so trailers are definitely available). I'm also going to enter a "bug" in codeplex around automatically monitoring media folders and scraping when a new folder is added.

There isn't a download trailer option in MC, only a "Add movie trailer URL to nfo" option, as far as I'm aware. That does exactly what it says on the tin, it puts something similar to Quote:<trailer>http://pdl.stream.aol.com/pdlext/aol/brightcove/us/moviefone/trailers/2011/missionimpossibleghostprotocol_10037190/missionimpossibleghostprotocol_trlr_01_720p_dl.mov</trailer>inside the NFO file. Some skins (at least Neon for sure, it may be all skins now or baked into XBMC core) give you the option to press down inside the Movie library and it will stream that file.

That's the part that I wanted to challenge. Bringing in a full music tagger with ID3 tags is so much work that I would not suggest MC to go this route. There are plenty of others out and getting this right will indeed take ages. What I was suggesting i something much simpler only focusing on artists rather than albums or even tracks. Thoughts? RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - jwdempsey - 2012-04-18 Does Media Companion support automatic scrapping of new TV shows (not just new episodes) via command line? Re: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - bry - 2012-04-18 For music use mediamonkey. Very powerful app. Tags, renames, organizes.

As far as I'm aware, by checking the box for trailers, I think it makes a button appear on the main page that says 'Download Trailer'(?), tucked away in the middle there somewhere. I'm afraid it is a manual thing, but it does give you precise control over what trailers you want! There is also something about adding a link to trailers in the .nfo file, but I'm not sure if XBMC does anything with that or not. Post back your findings 'cos I'd be interested in how it works. If it doesn't work, then I will finally need to familiarise myself with trailers! (Oops, there were other posts!)
