RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-11-23
You could try removing all the '.tbn' files and all the '.nfo' files then re-scrape, or remove all the '.nfo' files except '<moviename>.nfo' files.
Afterwards refresh the list in ViMM by going to 'Files' > 'Rescan Folders' and check to see if all the movie information and the sets information is still in order.
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - DrPepper - 2013-11-23
one more, could there be something in the sql database that leads to it wrongly ?
the odd thing i have is that some movies are in sets and others are not !!
If it could be , i would delete the db, and rescan the whole db again, what do you think ?
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-11-24
I don't really know how the XBMC database works, you could always give it a try I suppose.
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - DrPepper - 2013-11-25
i'm having another issue.
i'm not able to open up Vimediamanager now.
it's "hopping" up and down for about 1min , and than the Application is not responding .
Any clue what i can do ?
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-11-26
Either wait until it's done, or remove ViMM's application support files, and if that doesn't work do a full reset:

I just downloaded a nightly build that said it was from 2013-8-27.. but when I unpack it it's from August?
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-12-02
Isn't August the 8th month?

Shouldn't use the computer when late and tired LOL..
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-12-03
No problem.
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - peregrine - 2013-12-03
First of all, great work on ViMM. The best media manager I have ever used since MCM. No more reinstalling my Win7 VM every 2 weeks to get the premium features!
)Something disturbing though. ViMM keeps timing out when downloading posters from TMDb, and sometimes Fanart.tv. It just says "Connection timed out, please try again later", leading to corrupted poster images. Any explanation why?
Keep up the good work!
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-12-03
When a connection times out, it means it had to wait too long for a response, so ViMM is trying to download posters and other images in about 30 seconds, if it hasn't been able to download the image by then, ViMM gives the timeout error.
It may be that either your connection is too slow, or if you're downloading a lot of other things at the same time, the internet traffic might be a bit congested.
There is a hidden preference called 'TimeOut', if you know how to edit preference files, you can adjust the value from 30 to 60 or higher:
Code:
<key>TimeOut</key>
<integer>30</integer>the preference file is at this location:
/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Preferences/com.vidalvanbergen.vimediamanager-alpha.plist
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - peregrine - 2013-12-03
Thanks alot! It seems that my torrents are the cause of timeouts, they sucked my connection dry.
However, I have a new problem now. ViMM now won't download the IMDb full cast and thumbs. I have reinstalled, deleted the files at /Users/Library many times over. There's no cast in the generated NFO, nor the thumb link.
EDIT: Solved, looks like when IMDb full cast is selected, it will not download the thumbs. All of the thumbs are now downloaded. XBMC does not load them, unsurprisingly, because ViMM wrote the Mac OS X path (e.g. /Volumes/Videos_3/Movies_3/Remember the Titans (2000)/.actors/Denzel Washington.jpg), while my HTPC runs on Win7. Suggestions? Sorry if I am being annoying lol!
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-12-03
The latest debugging build should be able to download the full-cast & thumbs correctly:
https://www.mediafire.com/?8j6ve2f4je6et
What should the path be like on Win7?
RE: ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - peregrine - 2013-12-03
Thanks! I will try that out.
The path on Win7 should be like:
Local: C:\Media\Movies\Remember the Titans (2000)\.actors\Denzel Washington.jpg.
Network: \\HTPC\Media\Movies\Remember the Titans (2000)\.actors\Denzel Washington.jpg.
In MCM I could select the where will the actor thumbs be downloaded, and MCM will write the link in the NFO. That way I could have a centralised actor thumbs repository.
For example:
Selected location: C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\ImagesByName\People
NFO result:
<actor>
<name>Denzel Washington</name>
<role>Herman Boone</role>
<thumb>C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\ImagesByName\People\Denzel Washington\folder.jpg</thumb>
</actor>
Well, I could just go ahead and buy MCM, but spending $50 for functions that the ViMM does for free is kinda.. lame.
EDIT: Confirmed full cast and thumbs downloading to be working. The program crashes with a NilObjectException though. Haha.
EDIT 2: Added network path example.
