you just have to enable the http webserver in XBMC, then send this command through http
Code:
http://xbmc_ip:port/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn¶meter=XBMC.updatelibrary(video)now HOW you would do that, I don't know. But that's why you're coding it

just tested this for the first time. great program!
cant wait ot see music and series supported

I was just wondering if you were doing it so I know if I need to work on it. Didn't mean you had to do it. lol

interesting.... should be easy to do then.

I should have some free time this afternoon; I'll see if I can make some progress. If I spend all my time cursing at VB I might leave it to you

Something I just noticed that wasn't happening before..
I have movie.nfo checked in settings (and <movie>.nfo unchecked)
hitting refresh for media info will create a <movie>.nfo
Thanks for all the work you've been putting into this.. It's coming along great..

Tension113 Wrote:I have movie.nfo checked in settings (and <movie>.nfo unchecked)

Also having some problems with the "settings". The different option "<movie.nfo>" versus "movie.nfo" are a little confusing (e.g., I selected "<movie.nfo>", but it creates "movie.nfo"). Also, there is no "movie-artwork.jpg" to select. And last point on this: when I check the box "over-write non-confirming nfo" and press "ok", after entering settings again, the box is unchecked.
Couple of more fixes and suggestions:
1) Not sure whether the autopilot for "media-tagging" works perfectly. It adds some media-flags, but I can get more info on some movies, when I press "refresh" in the individual movie.
2) I have a movie without any tick on poster/artwork/nfo, but it actually shows all of them.
3) EMM has renamed one of my prior .nfo files to .info although it was perfectly working and created by MC.
4) Feature suggestions
a) AMT trailer download (IMDB trailers only works in the US)
b) Can we have a button stating "Update all ratings and IMDB info (NOT posters, fanart, and ID and title) based on existing IMDB ID?
c) Can we have a button only updating "missing posters"?
d) Can we have a button only updating "missing artwork"?
e) Can we have a function identifying duplicate movies?
Again, thanks a zillion for this fantastic piece of software!!! Working extremely well and fast for me. Also thanks again for all the trouble-shooting and help over the weekend to get the stacking support and the fileview working fast and well. Really appreciate your help!!!

Not sure if this is a problem my end, or not..
No matter how many times I try a full scrape, 95% of my movies dont get updated. The only reason I can think of, is because I have all my movies stored using "scene" standard folder naming. Would it be possible to make it filter out all the extra information from the folder name before it trys to search for the movie. I believe this is causing the problem.
ie, replace . with spaces, remove DVDRip, XviD and other tags to form a "cleaner" search string.

Do you have nfo's already created? if so, use the 'use title from nfo' option... that might help
- XBMCG33K - 2009-05-18
Does this allow nfo editing? Let's say my copy of Casino Royale isn't really 720p but I still want that 720p flag to show in whatever skin i am using, can this (maybe add it if not available) easily edit the nfo so i can add it in manually?

Thanks for the report... I took a look at the code and it seems to be ok. One thing to keep in mind, is that if you use file mode sources it will ALWAYS use <movie>.nfo (other wise it would just overwrite the same "movie.nfo" for each movie). For folder mode sources, it can use either. Double check how you added the source in settings.

what program supports "movie-artwork.jpg"? And is it literally "movie-artwork.jpg" or does it use the actual file name like "<movie>-artwork.jpg"? The non-conforming nfo problem is fixed for the next version.

Not sure why that would be, it calls the exact same function either way. Can you give me an example of the flags it produces in auto-pilot vs the tags produced by refresh?
steve1977 Wrote:2) I have a movie without any tick on poster/artwork/nfo, but it actually shows all of them.
Hmmm... strange. I'll look over the functions to see if I left something out

Can you email me the .info file so I can investigate?

Please add all these bugs/feature suggestions to the google code page (link at the bottom of the first post) so I can keep track of them.

All the thanks goes to you for helping to test the new code. Glad it's finally working well for you.... just need to iron out a few more things obviously. lol

You can either do as sumofatguy suggested or utilize the custom filter option in settings. It utilizes Regex, so for instance, if you wanted to filter out "DVDRip" you would add "((?i)dvdrip)" to the custom filter (without the quotes). In fact, you could do something like "((?i)dvd(rip|))" and that should filter both "DVDRip" and "DVD". And just for reference, the "(?i)" signifies to make the match case insensitive. So "((?i)dvdrip)" will filter DVDRIP, DVDRip, dvdrip, etc.
Also, you can use custom replacement. So, using an example from an earlier user who had periods in his file names instead of spaces, you could use "(\.)[->] )" and that will convert all periods to spaces. The "[->]" signifies the replacement.... replace whatever is on the left of "[->]" with whatever is on the right.
Hope that makes sense. lol

Yes... there is a GUI editor and a manual editor. I don't have the ability in there to edit the studio tag though... only the real studio. I'll add that right now.

r55 is in the first post. Lots of little changes, some bug fixes, and a few more features.

That's what I thought it did in previous versions.. Overwriting the "movie.nfo" with the refreshed studio tags.. I could be wrong..
I have the sources added as folders and in each folder I have a "movie.nfo"
In the program, my media info window for all movies says "Media Info is not available for this movie. Try rescanning" (even though the info is all there in the nfo) When I hit refresh, it lists the info, but it also gives me a "movie-name.nfo" instead of updating the "movie.nfo" So now I have two nfo's.. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought it was working differently a couple versions ago..

Do you have <movie>.nfo or movie.nfo selected in settings?
- Tension113 - 2009-05-18
Movie.nfo is checked.
If I rescrape a movie, it will update the movie.nfo
If I refresh the media info, it creates an additional <movie>.nfo
