RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win (with music library scraping) - jploaiza - 2023-08-07

Hi guys, is there a way to set names to scrap the original ones, but the plot/overview and other info in another language?

For example, I have the That's 70s show Serie

Which translated to Spanish is "El show de los 70"... then I have the the overview in spanish, that is what I want, but I want

Tite: (original) That's 70 show
Overview: Spanish


There is any way I can do thatHuh?, please let me know!. Thx!

@bugwelle

I still seem to be having issues with scraping some albums. For example, scraping an album by Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do for Love just does nothing. The scrape arrow is greyed out.

I wanted to install MediaElch in Fedora using the package manager and created a package on Fedora Copr for this purpose. If anyone is interested: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/maggu2810/MediaElch/

great! May I re-use your spec file in the future for our openSUSE builds as well? The one at https://github.com/maggu2810-rpms/MediaElch/blob/main/MediaElch.spec ? Smile

Sure, take it and do whatever you want to do with it.
If you integrate it in the official repo, I will use the upstream one for the Copr and if there are any improvements sometime, I will create a merge request.

Thanks. Smile
The one I'm currently using is at https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/blob/master/obs/MediaElch.spec
But it uses outdated versions and still uses Qt5. Packaging is something I'm not too familiar with, so this is greatly appreciated. Smile

Just as a heads up, there isnt a good tutorial on how to update to the newest version using Fedora's command line on the wiki 

https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-doc/contributing/build/fedora_36.html

Is the gameplan to just transition over to maggau's repo / official repo?

thanks for all the community outreach.

Hi,

I didn't look at the Fedora repository in detail, yet (as I'm on vacation for 2 weeks beginning Sunday, I won't get to it, either). The build instructions need to be updated to use Qt6 for Ubuntu and openSUSE as well. The Fedora build instructions were also contributed by community members. If the repository looks good, I'll add is as an "community provided repository" to the documentation. Smile

Hello, I am new to the forum and I have a quick question for the community. But first of all I would like to thank you all because Kodi and Mediaelch have brought my sofa experience with movies to another level (another planet maybe is closer to the scale of the improvement) so super super thanks.

My question is quite simple, I have organized my library with Mediaelch and then locally scraped in Kodi, so far so good.

But I am in the need to add a genre to all files that are located in a specific folder and I can't find a way to do it (manually would take ages). When in mediaelch I open this folder, I highlight everything with Ctrl+A, but if I add a genre the toll is adding it only to the first selected movie (before typing Ctrl+A).

Is there a way to bulk add the same new genre to multiple files (a whole folder/subfolders in this specific case)?

Thanks a lot in advance and I do apologize in case I have missed some rule/dest practice in the forum

@bugwelle

I just wanted to point out that in the latest version I am still have the issue with some artists not getting scraped. In the pic below, this is the previous version of MediaElch that still scrapes, but does not fill in the discography.

using 2.10.5 dev: on windows 11
although it has been happening for a while.
When scrapping for multiple movies at a time- using only the name and date- none of the movies are being found or scraped.
When going through the same movies individually afterwards they are all found and scraped without a problem.
It has been happening for a few versions now, but not sure when it started.

Thanks for the updates and the program itself.
Can I throw in something that is a first world problem? When searching for different posters for a movie the preview window will open to three wide max even if the window is much larger, and will not change from the 3 wide until I adjust the width manually after opening at which point it will go to however many wide to fit the window. It has been like this for the entire time I have had the program, but wasn't sure if you had heard about it.

thanks
Me

my apologies: the 3 wide posters thingy seems to have been fixed... not sure when but obviously I wasn't paying attention when it happened.
thanks for all your work.

%!%$! Undecided

In MediaElch's settings, what music scraper is the preferred one? Maybe that way I will be able to reproduce it.
Thanks for being patient. Smile

Hi, sorry for the late reply (was on vacation for a few weeks). Sadly, there is no bulk edit mode in MediaElch. I don't if TinyMediaManager supports it, but it may be a good alternative if it does. :-)

Is this specific to a movie scraper (e.g. TMDB, IMDb)?

That has been fixed in https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/pull/1623 :-)

I'm always thankful for all the bug reports. This issue was somehow introduced in recent Qt versions, I think. Sometimes such bugs appear even without code changes in MediaElch itself. Smile
