Here's the post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55559

Works well for me, I prefer that to dealing with sort fields even if it was an option...
lol... 100% agree
Sorting is easy to solve in this way.
What is going to be much more interesting is to grouping together those movies, which seems to come too:

I think we will wait for this changes, and only then decide how to support it from Ember.

Is there a way to show the rating as 8.1 instead of ****?
Is there a way to scan the file for the duration, but no other metadata?

No and no...
Please file two feature requests for these on our issues page(however I am not entirely sure if we give them a go).

Quote:More importantly... Is there any possible way (please, please) to offer the user the option of displaying the filename in the left-pane, rather than the movie name.Just to be sure I'm communicating this properly (because as a software developer myself, I'm confused about the rewrite comment) ... what I'm referring to is the ability to keep the variable (already persisted in your dataset) of FileNamePath, and in the grid listing movies, display that rather than the MovieName (which is currently set by scraping).
...
That's not a bad idea, I wanted to have that option as well.
However there are some technical/coding difficulties to solve this with the current implementation of Ember which could cause too much work/rewrite at this point. Jason could explain it in detail (if he wants... lol).
There is one other alternative setting that could be used. On the "Automatic" scrape runs, you could offer the ability to do everything *but* set the name. I realize there is a setting that allows the option of renaming the file, but I'm referring to the MovieName stored in the database. Unlike other properties (which generally don't exist until scraped), the MovieName is one that people often set to their preference. In other words, when I rip a movie, I name it how I like, based on my naming convention. Therefore, of all of the fields to make optional in a scrape, I think MovieName is a very clear choice.
Quote:Is there a way to scan the file for the duration, but no other metadata
Technically, this could be scraped, which would be the solution (particularly since this information cannot be obtained for .ISO's). Ideally you'd use a waterfall effect, because you'd want to use the file's metadata when available:
Process:
1. Get running length from IMDB/data provider
2. If option is set to scrape metadata from the video file (and video file supports it) ... then ... Attempt to get running length, and replace #1 data if successful.

clock2113 Wrote:Is there a way to scan the file for the duration, but no other metadata?
Actually, I think it would be even better if there was just a right-click option for movies to "rescan meta-data"
- JustinAiken - 2009-08-05
Hmm, since upgrading to 1006 from 985, meta-data is not working at all!

quick question - Spaceman - 2009-08-05
Just started using Ember Media Manager yesterday.
I'm digitizing my entire DVD collection and have about 160 various files (.avis, .isos...).
The EMM scraper was working slowly and had scrapped about 20 movies for me. When I hit cancel, it ran through the cancel program and never ended. I did an end process.
Now I can't see any movies on my hard drive.
The movies are there. XBMC sees them.
I would like to finish scrapping the rest of my movies but I can't get EMM to load the movie list.
Any ideas?
Thanks

i have some additions to my feature requests / issues @ embermm.com
Quote:Issue: Possibility to lock certification / mpaa rating field
The Method you mentioned worked like a charm for the runtime field but what about the certification / mpaa rating? If i have a movie with no german rating it resets my previous set rating to none if i rescrape the movie.
Quote:Issue: Change OFDb title while scraping
why you won't fix this? It hurts the sorting of my movies, because i don't ignore the sort tokens.
If i search for "Das perfekte Verbrechen" in my movie DB i look at the letter D and this will not work as its saved as "perfekte Verbrechen, Das"
as example : IMDb is using "The Dark Knight" as title an not "Dark Knight, The" which OFDb is doing.
atm i have to fix this by hand and this sux.

I just wanted to chime in and say I really like Ember. I just ripped like 60 DVD movies and was sitting down to do metadata for them. I was trying MediaInfoPlus, but it was crazy slow. I have an Intel Core2 Quad running Windows 7, so things should be zippy, but they just weren't.
I think your interface is really slick and easy to understand.
One feature request: Since you're pulling the media metadata, would it be possible to populate the Runtime field with the Duration info? It kinda bugs me that IMDB often returns multiple items for the Duration. This makes sense in the context of IMDB, but not in the context of my own movie library, where I am looking at a specific copy of a movie.
I would imagine some string processing would be required on the duration, since the ideal output would be like "104 Minutes" like you see on DVD boxes.
This is just a minor request on my part, since its one of the last details I need to "fix" on my movie library. Aside from that one teeny piece, Ember is ridiculously feature complete and I love it.

if you ever make an fix for this pls make it only as option as i would hate to have 1000 DER,DIE,DAS at the beginning

MrDVD Wrote:if you ever make an fix for this pls make it only as option as i would hate to have 1000 DER,DIE,DAS at the beginning
you already have the option build into EMM and XBMC to skip DER, DIE, DAS, THE etc. so you don't have to worry
i only want the title to be stored in the correct way and the program decides how to sort it.

EDIT - Except for runtime on movies stacked such as movie.a.avi, movie.b.avi

Sorry, you guys have pretty much thought of everything
