RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - clubwerks - 2015-11-03 Don't kill yourself. I thought maybe a week or so. ![]() RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-11-03 New Release. Media Companion 3.631b, 32 & 64 bit builds A Few new fixes and features. Enjoy. If you find scraping is taking ages, please go to General Preferences -> Proxy settings, and set to None New:
Fixed:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, post up an Issue on Media Companion's site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.631b x86 & MC 3.631b x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - bobrap - 2015-11-03 Thanks for the latest release. Question about the new tv banner option. In order to copy the main banner to the missing season banner, the poster/s option has to be checked. Is that because there is no option to rescrape banners? Can you also check something in the movie section, please. I have "download actor images from TMDB" selected. If I re-scrape a movie the images are from TMDB. If I use the context menu and scrape actors IMDB is used. Also, could you explain this a bit more. Must be pretty obvious, but, I'm missing it. Movie - Now search Title or Filename (depends on selected display option) Thanks. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - marhutchy - 2015-11-03 The update is working for me - granted I didn't test everything, but it's working great so far ![]() I have 1 problem, been having it ever since I started using this amazing application. It's not a major problem, but I just thought I should throw it out there. I have duplicated series. I have 2 of the same series in MC. Reason being, for the currently airing series that I'm collecting, I collect by seasons. For example The Walking Dead. I have this series in one directory with seasons 1 to 5. I have the same series in another directory where new episodes are added. In MC, I see both series fine, but the seasons and episodes are duplicated because the series is duplicated. I can't differentiate which series belong to which directory. I had to add the 2nd directory, because whenever I have to refresh Kodi - it does happen - I would have to mark them as watched again. One of the reasons why I had to do this is because some of the collected series are .strm files, but the newly added files are media files. Don't want to mix them up. Also, the media files are automatically scanned daily for subtitles and I would get banned for searching for batch subtitles repeatedly. Directory 1 The Walking Dead Season 1 Episodes 1, 2, 3... Season 2 Episodes 1, 2, 3... Season 3 Episodes 1, 2, 3... Season 4 Episodes 1, 2, 3... Season 5 Episodes 1, 2, 3... . . . Directory 2 The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 1, 2, 3....

Gidday bobrap Yes, cause Posters/Banners are as one type of artwork on TVDB, it was a lot more work to separate posters and banners and potentially would cause problems in existing routines. Think it might be a label oops on rescraping actors, but I'll look into the code and make sure it's behaving as it should. Now search Title or Filename In Media Companion, you could filter the movie list or search for a movie by its title, ie start typing a movie's name and the list would filter down showing matching movies already scraped. Now if you have the button selected for Title & Year selected, we search by Movie Title, If the Filename button is selected, MC searches the actual video's filename. It has nothing to do with Scraping of Movie, just searching though the list of movies displayed in Media Companion.

And, as the current code stands, I can't get this to change as it goes down to the core coding in regards to folder structure when Media Companion finds the tvshow.nfo and also how we bind series and episodes together, by the tvdb series ID. Your alternative option would be to have profiles in Media Companion, and have your current series in a second profile. This would avoid displaying duplicate series and duplicate episodes. Edit: I'll have another look at the code, see if there is anyway I can get around the core structure, but can't promise anything.

I want to see both series as they are now, but only with their respective season, no duplicates. I like that idea of profile, I've never given that feature a glance will certainly do that now ![]() EDIT: Yes, that worked. I created a profile just for my TV series collection. Thanks ![]() Manually adding TV series was quite a task though. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - peter0123 - 2015-11-03 Hi, i have big problems with NFO Files from Media Companion. Directory: Filme +#9 (2009) | +.actors | +extrafanart | +extrathumbs | #9 (2009).mkv | #9 (2009).nfo | #9 (2009)-trailer.mp4 | banner.jpg | clearart.png | disc.png | fanart.jpg | folder.jpg | landscape.jpg | logo.png | poster.jpg | thumb.jpg NFO Samples: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbp3pnh50agfzx7/TinyMedia.7z?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/94bnyhshhlzvoer/MediaComp.7z?dl=0 Picture from Notepad++ https://www.dropbox.com/s/8w9tmo1s20um0u5/sample.png?dl=0 Scrapper Settings: Movies/Local Information/Rekursive https://www.dropbox.com/s/qcr2cifgd7m02vz/settings.png?dl=0 Kodi Log: (With new Mysql Database) https://www.dropbox.com/s/e5k301rk8w4nbjo/kodi.log?dl=0 Windows Mysql Server Log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0vnxkp82ud3i27/MULTI.err?dl=0 Mysql MyVideo99 Database after this Import: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tf9uuxj46ovj1hy/dump.sql?dl=0 Kodi Version, different V16, this Log run is: KodiSetup-20151102-8405118-master.exe Tested with Windows Mysql 5.4.2 & 5.7.9 & latest MariaDB Synology Package on Windows and Android Arm Clients. The Scrapping stops not all time at the same Movie, but it reach maximum 5-6 before the system stops. Series ... the same. With Tinymedia Manager NFOs, no problem exists.. UTF8 correct? äöüß? With ß are the most problems i think, when you search this, you must search as Big Letter. Or is the Solution a simple Entry in the advancedsettings.xml?

As Both entries will have the same seriesID, and will always allocate to both nodes on the Treeview. But, glad you got it sorted using a different profile. BTW, you can drag'n'drop series folders in the List of Series Folders List. Might have been easier to multi-select in Explorer, and DragDrop into MC's list. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-11-04 (2015-11-03, 23:47)peter0123 Wrote: Hi, i have big problems with NFO Files from Media Companion. I've never looked at Logs before, and Mysql I have no idea. But, I believe the issue your talking about is special characters that are not being translated correctly. As you mentioned Quote:äöüßas an example. This is actually a Media Companion issue, that I am having difficulty addressing at my end. When every I scrape a movie with these characters, it scrapes correctly, and all plots etc are shown correctly. So I have a problem in trying to figure out how to duplicate the issue. When I can do that, I am sure I can resolve this once and for all. BTW, your sample nfo's from Media Companion and Tinymedia Manager are appreciated, but it would be better if you could supply the nfo's of same movies scraped by both apps. This way I can study what is different between these two nfo samples. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - clubwerks - 2015-11-04 Awesome. Works like a charm. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-11-04 (2015-11-04, 02:21)clubwerks Wrote: Awesome. Works like a charm.Another happy customer.....LOL. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - peter0123 - 2015-11-04 @vbat99 i can scrap in MC no series with ß. Example: German/Deutsch: Als die Tiere den Wald verließen [TVDB:74638][tt0286336] Normal we write: Als die Tiere den Wald verliessen But i help me with own NFO Files... that is a other problem! The Problem is the exported NFO Files from MC are not correct. Many Developer make a regex solution ß=ss or the correct encoding, and that is here to 90% the problem. Any Chinese person have test this ![]() Compare the nfo file from MC and TinyMedia.. I have learn this, when i import different data in a mysql database and then show user in other languages again the correct symbol with php. Example: http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/charcoll I see the NFO File as "Database", the correct DE and ENcoding is important. Kodi say nothing in the wiki about this: http://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files/Movies You need the correct d-encoding for the nfo files, kodi is correct. Music Example, Artist from Musicbrainz! Δημήτρης Παπασπυρόπουλος Here a little export list with different movies. when you start an import with the first 5-8, you can test this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f67ixbh0sbd7a1x/list.csv?dl=0 MC Movie NFOs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hbaw4wa48okgj1t/mc_movies_nfo.7z?dl=0 Example with both NFOs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mjcqt1qo081slo4/both.7z?dl=0 and other thing, check the kodi log for problems with the runtime! 25 minutes 25 min 25 RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-11-04 (2015-11-04, 02:51)peter0123 Wrote: @vbat99 I'm looking into the character set issue now, but also have found MediaCompanion needed to save the nfo as utf-8 with no BOM. That change I have just made. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - peter0123 - 2015-11-04 i edit the other post.. you can't import correct the tvdb series data (episodes and seasion are shown) when a ß is in a title and plot http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=74638 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztcdqs6g05sfn7x/Unbenannt.JPG?dl=0 is only in the plot a ßäö... mc can scrap the series. look at the api data from tvdb with that example.. and when you take searching for ß this is a letter with no lowercase char. only big! |
