Batemann Wrote:I feel VERY stupid.

I use MIP and Media Companion both, for a long time. I was hoping to get the functionality of both in this new ember. But I can't get it to work.

Installing: no problem.
Loading a directory with movies: no problem.
But getting the tool to actually create a NFO and download thumbs, fanart and such: nothing.
I Have the menu on the right top panel in which I can set creating to Auto or full. But nothing happens.

Am I missing a "run now" button somewhere?? Or is this the same prob Pmontanari above me is having?

Hope someone can help me. ;-) And yes, you can tell me I'm stupid.

I had the same problem previously and deleteing it and starting again fixed it. But its also possibly something broke in the latest version, it is Alpha after all

clackerdacker Wrote:Structured like this

28 Weeks Later\VIDEO_TS and in here you have VIDEO_TS.NFO, VIDEO_TS.TBN & fanart.jpg. It also fails with dvr-ms files setup exactly like avi or mkv files.



This also applies to title as some of us modify them to alloow for custom sorting and I don"t want to lose them when rescraping.

idioteque Wrote:maybe it is me but with windows 7 7068 Ember does not scrape anything.

it just finished and nothing is looked up

am I doing something wrong?

pmontanari Wrote:Here is a better explanation of the forder structure that causes troubles :

All Movies Folder

-- Movie1 Folder ----> Works Well
-----Movie1.nfo
-----Movie1.mkv
-----Movie1.tbn
-----Movie1-fanart.jpg

-- Movie2 Folder ----> Doesn't Work
-------Movie2 Folder (Sub folder)
---------Movie2.nfo
---------Movie2.mkv
---------Movie2.tbn
---------Movie2-fanart.jpg

The second situation occurs when you download a media in a folder structure (with media + sample + nfo)

Am I clear ?

Reginald Wrote:nul7, thank you for creating this, it is well put together and smooth interface. I can't wait to see what you do with the TV section.

I do have a question though, I am trying to have Ember skip a file type (.dat) and I can't see how to do that, I searched through the forums and I wasn't able to find anything. Sorry if I missed it.

Thanks!

Edit: added file type, that may help... :-p

Batemann Wrote:Hi,
Thanks, I started doubting myself. Can confirm: doesn't work. Both the x64 and x86 do not work (here).

EDIT:
OK... Just asked my wife to fix it.... Everything is working. Had something to do with RTFM.... (dot-net...)

nul7 Wrote:Wait... wait... wait... I think I've been misunderstanding you... by "doesn't work" do you mean it's not in the list? I don't have any code in the program to look into subfolders for more movies. I suppose that's feasible... please add a feature request to the google code page.

pmontanari Wrote:Sorry, by "doesn't work" I mean it stops loading the remaining movies the "media search" function just found.

Actually, the media counter displays the exact number of movies (115= number of folders), but the program stops loading the remaining movies when encountering the "subfolder" structure...

To reproduce this error, just take a folder whith all medias inside (nfo, fanart, movie and poster). Create a subfolder inside this folder and put all the files inside.... After a new scan, you will see what happens...

nul7 Wrote:Thanks... I'll try to figure out something with the video_ts folders. If you don't mind, could you add a feature request to the google code page so I don't forget?

clackerdacker Wrote:No prob. I can do the codig for you if you"d like some help? Been a C# programmer for 6 years and progamming as a living since '85
