I've learned from using other media mangers that are currently in alpha or beta to NEVER enable any type of file-deletion within the manager. I lost some videos with a different media manager that was also in beta...

Unfortunately this is a bug with r1069, too.
[SIZE="3"]NO ONE DELETE ANY MOVIES THROUGH EMBER MEDIA MANAGER FOR NOW[/SIZE]
Ok, I've done some experimenting and it seems that this bug occurs when you have multiple movies that start with the same characters. For instance, I had files named:
a.avi
ab.avi
abc.avi
abcd.avi
when I deleted a.avi, it also proceeded to delete the other 3 files.
- JustinAiken - 2009-12-05
Wow, you guys are brave, using this on your actual library...
I just download like 10-20 movies at a time, EMM them up, them move them into the library...

haha well, I only started using it about 3 days ago... perhaps your technique isn't the worst idea in the world...

I used to do this but I've been using it on my main library for about 4 months now and never had a major f*ckcup
olympia Wrote:You cannot sync XBMC's library with Ember's library. This is becuase the two database are not connected in any way. Currently Ember is using it's internal database only for own purposes.
Ember is creating accompanying files like nfos, thumbs and fanarts, which XBMC can IMPORT. This is the important point. They are not SYNCING, but XBMC is IMPORTING the movie data based on the files generated by Ember.
Unfortunately XBMC currently doesn't featured to mass update it's already stored data. You can do it only one by one, using the refresh button of movie information screen of XBMC.
The update XBMC feature of Ember is not doing anything else than remotely initiating the "Update library" function of XBMC, which is unfortunately only looking for new movies among the sources.
Hi Olympia. Could you please explain how to use this feature? I asked about it months ago but i guess it was overlooked and it wasn't really a priority so I let it slip to the side.
XBMC is installed on the same PC that I run Ember on. So I'm lost about port numbers and IP addresses, etc...
Thanks.

I lost something like 74 movies. Thankfully a lot of them were pretty dire! But needless to say my faith in this application is rather shaken.

Really sorry for this! The bug is confirmed and beeing looked at the moment.
However this can only happen in case you store all your movies in the same folder instead of having all your movies in its own/separate folder.
BTW, non of the Devs/testers are "organized" their collection in this way, so that's why such a huge bug can still exist in Ember.
(My personal opinion is that neither XBMC, nor Ember should support such a frugal way of structuring. I strongly recommend to all of you to use the "sort files into folders" tool of Ember and stop storing everything in a single folder.)

I'm not sure that is entirely true.
I have a Movies folder, inside that folder is a folder for each individual movie. However, inside my main Movies folder is the killasample file (i.e. not in its own folder). I tried to delete the killasample file within Ember and it deleted the entire folders that 70ish of my movies were in.

You have to enable remote "Allow control of XBMC via http" in XBMC settings, then setup Ember as well. For IP, try using 127.0.0.1.
- donabi - 2009-12-05
one question (which was probably asked before, but i cannot find it):
how do you make xbmc library sort movies in the correct way, when it uses the names?
i.e.: im trying to sort nightmare on elmstreet.
everything is scraped perfect, but xbmc sorts it with the name in the *.nfo and not by release date.
i get freddy 3 before freddy 2.
alien is another example.

Use EMM to change the Sorttitle to the release date if you want them to be sorted in that way.
- donabi - 2009-12-05
the release date would help with nightmare and alien.
but what can i do about star wars? or rambo?
- JustinAiken - 2009-12-05
I just rename mine like
Star Wars 4: A New Hope
and delete the sorttitle... works for me!

Thanks for the tip. I've got the xbmc side of it working but ember still gives me this error.
I've tried both 127.0.0.1 and my actual IP address and port 80.
For credentials i had - user : xbmc password: (null)
- Lowlander - 2009-12-05
i'm sorry if this was asked before but i can't find an answer :/
i've edited my whole movie library with EMM and also downloaded good quality covers but when XBMC loads them into the library it just replaces some of them with crappy low quality pictures. is there a way of excluding the covers from the xbmc scrapers ?

The default port in xbmc is 8080, haven't you seen in the settings? Or did you change it to 80?
