Majority of the code of this is already done. It's going to be tested soon, then goes live... Wink

Here we go.

G:\Movies\Moviename\bfc1-dcn.avi
G:\Movies\Moviename\bfc2-dcn.avi
G:\Movies\Moviename\bfc-sample-dcn.avi

The first two show up in EMM (because the names are not proper for stacking). The sample file doesnt show up. It is 15 MB and I have not set the function to exclude any files below x.

Thoughts?

nul7
a kind request:
I create the nfo files for my offline library like this:

For videos produced by me or that does not have an IMDB entry:
<movie>
<title>Il magico mondo degli animali</title>
</movie>


for videos with IMDB entry:
<movie>
<title>La sirenetta</title>
</movie>
http://imdb.com/title/tt0097757/


The problem is that EMM tries to find my movies (the first category) in IMDB anyway and screws up the library with wrong information.

How can I avoid it?

Even worst even if I've locked the title for the movies in the fist category (without the URL) the title is overwritten. Am I doing something wrong or is a bug?

Thanks,
Mf

First of all, thanks for this essential tool. Any progress/ETA on TV Shows support? I know the answer is 'when it's done' but I wanna know if the TV Show support it's closer or far, far, away... Big Grin

It's not tomorrow and not very close.
It depends on how quick the two team Devs spin up to the same level of activity when they are back...

I like the fact that it renames the folders (eg. 'Shrek 2 (2004') but I don't like that it has to rename the actual .mkv file too. I like to keep the filename so I know the codecs and the scene release etc. incase of a 'PROPER' release or something better that I want to replace it with. Is there any way to do this in the current version (only rename folders, a sort of 'managed mode') if not can you add it in the next?

Put only "$F" as a file pattern...

Ok, well download just the smallest version of each image available, thumbnail or not, and list other available sizes.

However makes sense. As it currently is, it takes too long...

Anyone has the chance to look into thisone? Still filtering out all sample files for no reason...

OK, finally I can confirm this, but even I was not aware (sorry for this), it seems that all files including the string "sample" is excluding from the scanning on purpose. I would say this is a good idea as you most probably don't want to have any information for sample files.

As far as I understood, you want to find and delete them, so this is something you can do with any file manager. However I am going to discuss it with the Team when they are back, but don't hold your breath for this...

Let me specifiy my issue. Prob is that XBMC "finds" (some of) these sample files and starts scraping them. Apparently, this is not ideal and wanted. If EMM follows exactly (!) the same rule to exclude files from scraping, them it is fine and I can just let these sample files rest where they are.

Cheers!!!

Recently Added Movies not accurate
When I add a few new movies and scrape them with Ember, they show up with recent dates in Ember if I sort by "Date Added". However, when I open XBMC and go to recently added movies, the list is of much older movies which I added long ago, and this list doesnt seem to change much. Any suggestions of what I could be doing wrong?

Update XML from NFO
I think XBMC creates and uses its own xml file from an nfo. The problem is when I update an nfo, it doesnt update properly in XBMC. Is there any way to export an nfo file to an xml file, or another way to get XBMC to update with the latest changes?

Error: I think a different media program created the xml's and not XBMC.

Just wanted to say great work, can't wait for tv to get supported too.

One of the cleanest and best media manager i have seen yet, also love the way it does trailers, extra thumbs!

Keep up the good work!
