RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - timwagg - 2013-01-10
Been having similar problems with downloading/scraping my media library. Been trying to do this with Ember and Media Companion and neither seems to work (MC keeps crashing) and Ember won't download anything apart from new movies.
I even cleared out ALL my artwork and tbn files but still can't scrape anything. I assume that the new IMDB issue is the problem here?
Additionally, regarding banner support I came across this post earlier in the thread which I thought I could re post for peoples convenience, it's a work around but helpful all the same for anyone who doesn't like waiting;
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Thumbnails
@Dan, thanks for your continued efforts, any idea when the Frodo/Banner additions will be made?

They all look good. However they look like crap in XBMC. XBMC picked the lowest of the low thumbs any idea why? I had to press I on each movies and change the thumb nail to a none blurry poster,
could this be due to the fact I deleted .tbn and rescrape posters? This only happen on the 6 new movies I added and not on the whole so I am not sure what happen. I close out of XBMC and loading emm and the posters are fine.
I thought IMDB did a new url or something like with actors photos.
Which version of XBMC are you using Eden or Frodo? because Eden doesn't support poster.jpg unless you use an Advancedsetting, if your using Eden then it will not be using your local poster which is why you had to find it manually in XBMC
I did already told you this and put the Advancedsetting needed
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116941&pid=1288667#pid1288667
sorry now where do I add the code?
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Vampirebat - 2013-01-10
you may or may not have an Advanced Settings file on your system already if its not there you have to create it.
and the location is listed at this link http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata
just find the OS that use and follow the path to your userdata folder.
(note)this folder can be hidden by default dedending on what OS you use so you may have to go in your folder options and make it visible.

No it works fine so you must be doing something wrong, just make sure when you scrape movies you use Ask instead of Automatic.
The only problem currently is actor thumbs for movies, but if you disable actor thumbs in Ember and use Universal Scraper then your still get good actor thumbs, you can always rescrape the nfo's later on if it gets fixed in ember that wont effect XBMC

Thanks for this, turns out that I wasn't using the right version and have scraped again, all is good. Thanks for your advice.
Can't wait to get stuck in once those banners are implemented!

One more thing, how do I update a list of missing episodes, without rescraping the whole TV show or season?
AW: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - DanCooper - 2013-01-11
Sorry i don't found time yesterday to make a fix. I hope I have time on the weekend.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Bakkoda - 2013-01-11
I recently installed Boxee+ Hacks on my Boxee Box which actually lets me make use of fanart now. So Ive been attempting to scrape fanart for all of my movies/shows. TV shows worked perfectly without a hitch, saved where I wanted them too and everything worked perfectly. Movies on the other hand have been a pain in the butt.
All of my movies are in their own folder with the poster and nfo set up as follows
Code:
Movies
->Alien
-> Alien.mkv
-> Alien.nfo
-> folder.jpgI would like the fanart to simply save as fanart.jpg in the same folder however it seems to either throw an error
Code:
Title: Error
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
StackTrace: at EmberScraperModule.dlgImgSelect.OK_Button_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Date/Time: 1/11/2013 8:07:39 AM
===========================================================================================or only download the fanart into an extrathumbs folder, even if i choose extrafanart. Ive tried all diff settings, telling it to save as fanart.jpg, <movie>-fanart.jpg etc. It seesm TMDB is the only place to scrape fanart and when the window comes up to select fanart I am presented with all the fanart and the image dimensions say multiple with a check box. I also have the option for original (which sometimes shows the dimensions and sometimes just says X) and poster. 9/10 times no fanart is downloaded no matter what combination of radio buttons and check boxes I use. If by chance fanart does download it saves it inside an extrathumbs folder as I said above.
Any help? I have used 1.3.0.7 and 1.3.0.7 fix2 and a few older versions to no avail.
UPDATE: Using the automated fanart scrape for missing items works (and works really fast) but I have no way to change a fanart if I dont like it. *shrug*

If you (re)scrape every show (right click show (re)scrape) then that will happen automatically when you use Update Library, as long as you don't have overwrite existing images enabled it wont change anything it just goes through the motions.
Other than that your have to do them individually using (re)scrape episode.

This is bad to hear. Does this mean that I need to rescrape all my other movies as well. I am including the actor photos as link in the NFO. Sounds like a rather painful rescrape required (once EMM is fixed). Am i overlooking something?

You can rescape nfo files

Why does it sometimes download 720p fanart when larger 1080p fanart is available ?

(2013-01-12, 10:34)ch109b Wrote: Why does it sometimes download 720p fanart when larger 1080p fanart is available ?
Going back through mine I am also finding the automatic scrape is grabbing 480, 720 and some 13XXx6XX res fanart as well when 1080 is available.
