The good news is that now my life is starting to stabilize a little more, I'm closer to work which means I'll have more time to dedicate to Ember, so be patient and hopefully the next release will be worth the wait

I've been using EMM for a while now, mainly for generating movie.nfos to be read later on by XBMC, and this is the one major annoyance I have with it, for foreign movies it always retrieves the original title, OR if I "force" it to some language it sometimes retrieves the forced language title. Usually I set it to "USA", however this is definitely NOT the same as the "IMDB display title" - sometimes it's the same, sometimes it matches the main title. However more often it does not, and also often it finds some unwanted working title when set to USA, even if the original title would be fine, because it isn't even a foreign movie.

For example take this movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2191861/

No matter whether I untick "Force title language" or if I set it to "USA" it will always find "Ai de mian bao hun" when clearly an international "IMDB display title" of "The Soul of Bread" is there

Is there any way to make it do what i want (which seems pretty straightforward and obvious to me, just take the most prominent title on there....)?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I can't imagine this hasn't been asked before, however I couldn't find anything about it, which seems a bit strange. If there is some information for this already available please just point me in the direction.

For Season Artwork, would like the <season>-fanart.jpg show up as "season1-fanart.jpg" vs "Season 01 -fanart.jpg". Perhaps a new option for seasonX-fanart.jpg to be placed in the show's root, just in case someone is using the above setting for something else.

Newer XBMC skins are using this convention for season fanart.

What is the correct labeling/filename of a:
Season Fanart?
Episode Fanart?

SEASON FANART:

Skins in XBMC seem to make use of season fanart in two different ways:

One is "fanart.jpg" in the season folder. This seems to be working correctly in Ember today.
Two is "seasonX-fanart.jpg", i.e. "season1-fanart.jpg", in the TV Show root folder. Note that it is a single digit number (like seasonX.tbn vs. seasonXX.tbn season thumbs) unless of course the season is a two-digit number.

Episode fanart - not sure at all on this - I don't download Episode thumbs or Episode-level fanart; I let XBMC get them.

On a side side - has any thought be given to having an auxillary scraper to scrape artwork from fanart.tv for items such as logo.png (TV Logo), character.png (Character Artwork), landscape.jpg (16x9 Thumb/Landscape), clearart.png (TV Artwork) for TV Shows?

For movies, also from fanart.tv, logo.png (Movie Logo) and disc.png (Disc Art) are also available.

Second, I asked this a while ago, but I think it's worth bringing up again since ember has been revitalised; on IMDB some movies don't have MPAA ratings, but they do have a regular US rating. Why this is, I have no idea. It would be very useful if the US rating could be used as an MPAA rating but *only* when the MPAA rating does not exist.

I hope that makes sense, and thank you for keeping ember up to date.

This would be a nice option to have.

And finally - DanCooper. Thank you (and also Bodrick) for picking this up and keeping Ember alive. I have TRIED to use many other media managers out there, and Ember is by far the best, even with the maintenance having changed hands several times over the past couple of years. Great work!

Any idea why meta tags do not show up properly in xbmc, I make sure to edit them for every movie but ie I set dts-hd in emm and xbmc shows it as only DTS. It may be the skin I am using as well. But thought I would ask.

Thanks,

Frodo changed.
default is always poster now so you have to use banner.jpg for banners.

Right now I dont see any benefit of using Ember meta data.
I disabled it and let XBMC scan it, its really fast and recognizes DTS-HD/TrueHD and everything else.
