With XBMC TMDB scraper, you can select the language, and the api gets all the movie data in that language. We can't switch between languages.
IMDB is giving you your language based on IP address GeoLocation. And we can't, well I haven't been able to, fool the GeoLocation to a different part of the world.

But, I will start work soon on the Batch Rescraper, to allow this to rescrape specific data from TMDB. Currently the Batch Rescrape Wizard only uses IMDB.
What this means is you scrape your movie(s) using XBMC TMDB scraper set to Spanish. Then once done, change the language to English, and use Batch Rescrape Wizard to only rescrape the Genre field.

This hasn't been started yet, and only just been added to the To Do list.

Any news on this matter, i haven't checked last version of MC yet,

btw vbat99 thanks for your awesome work on this

Home Movies works GREAT for the Video Extras add on. There are just a couple of problems

-It seems like it ignores any NFO already present. I had some extras with some specific Sort Titles and they were ignored
-It seems the longer the video, the more difficult it is to generate screenshots further into the file. I was able to create a thumbnail 2 minutes in for a 3 minute file, but for something that was about 20 minutes, it couldn't even go that far, let alone further than that.
-Not a big deal, but the only way to make it better and more convenient would be a way to choose between tagging <movie> or <tvshow> and being able to link it with a movie or tv show (in other words, just going full support of the addon, would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath)

Thanks guys

Gidday.

I'll have a look at ignoring nfo's if present, but what structure are these nfo? Are you able to PM me one to test with.

For getting the screenshots, we use ffmpeg. The downside of this is scanning through a large video file takes some time. I don't know another way to get a screenshot at a specific time frame, quicker.

Not sure what your are talking about with tagging <movie> or <tvshow>. Are you talking about joining a Movie to a TV Series? If so, this can only be done in XBMC/Kodi, as this is a Database link. Nothing in the nfo will allow this to be done.

I just thought this meant MC wouldn't deleted manually added display seasons.
a few bug catches
when changing season poster from fanart.tv tab, folder.jpg is not updated. both with "dont overwrite existing artwork" checked and uncheked.
and I noticed the excludefromtvshowscan in config.xml stopped working.---edit---- this may work I worked on one show
if poster are from tmdb, get missing fanart still rewrites them with posters from fanart.tv (is this as it is suppose to be?)
tvshow extrafanart no matter how it is scraped is limited to fanart1-4 so only 4 extra fanarts are downloaded
regarding Fanart.tv tab it is really difficult to scrape it says fanart tv is offline but if you go back and select a show you have scraped with the fanart tab and load the fanart and the go back to the show where fanart tab says offline you can force it to appear sometimes

I have a few suggestions/requests....

(1) Can the 'search' feature/filter be applied to a filename (ie: I'd like to click on File Name button, type '3DTAB' and see all the 3D movies in my collection.. I don't have '3D' in the title since most times that causes the plugin to download extra artwork not to find the correct movie (it will find Avatar fine and download all art, but not Avatar 3D).

(2) Is it possible to add tags based on filenames (a feature you have for keywords).. ie: during scrape, if a file contains 3D.TAB or 3D.SBS add the tag 3D to NFO

(3) This may already be possible, but I have not had luck making it happen.. when I scrape TV shows, and it finds TV shows for specials which are not found on TheTVDB, could it auto create a blank NFO using the filename to populate things such as Season (ie: 0), title, etc? I have a lot of TV shows with 'the making of' specials that are not allowed on TheTVDB which I usually manually create the NFO for and populate it with the necessary information but it would be nice to scrape all my shows and see a list of all such episodes found and NFO's created by Media Companion (with a warning next to it) so I can go in and edit/save.

(4) (just came to mind) is it possible to have it a configurable option when scraping movies/tv shows that the inclusion of 3D in the title is optional (based on configuration)... it's a bit of a drag to have to manually go into all the 3D movies and remove the 3D from the title after rescrapring. It would be nice if that was a checkable option in the MOvie Preferences or General Preferences screen to add 3D or ignore 3D tagging in the Title itself.

Once again, thanks for this wonderful utility!

It seems like a lot of the utility of this program is so we can easily re-import our libraries with new XBMC installs or whatever, but without a <dateadded> tag, our libraries will not be sorted in any sensible sense of newest to oldest, simply in the order they are added to XBMC. Which, if we're importing our entire existing libraries at once, means they will all be added on the same day and thus "newest" and "recently added" sorts will be useless.

the <dateadded> is the same as the video's created or Modified date, and has nothing to do with adding to Library.

If I recall correctly, this is only exported from the Database, not scanned in.

There is no information if this is imported into XBMC/Kodi at all. From the Wiki:

Quote:0 results in using the current datetime when adding a video;
1 (default) results in prefering to use the files mtime (if it's valid) and only using the file's ctime if the mtime isn't valid;

See here:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videolibrary>
    <dateadded>0</dateadded>
    </videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

But to be sure, I will investigate this a bit further.
