It does provide an API too...

OMG i would LOVE to see a Rotten Tomatoes scraper. But i have some ideas on how to make it be compatible with all skins. Some people won't agree with having extra media in their folder but nobody if forcing them to use it...

My idea is to have the scraper generate .png file in the movie folder or a subfolder. The files could be something like

Code:

criticfresh.png
userfresh.png

Those files would only either be a fresh tomato or a rotten one. Or, we could have

Code:

criticfresh.png/criticrotten.png
userfresh.png/userrotten.png

Again, those would only be the image of a fresh or rotten tomato. Just like the one before, this only adds 2 files. Not 4. This option gives the advantage of knowing if the movie is fresh or rotten when you are browsing files outside of XBMC.

Lastly, the ultimate one would be a total of 3 files :

Code:

criticfresh.png/criticrotten.png
userfresh.png/userrotten.png
t-rating.png

The t-rating file would be an actual image of a percentage number between 0 and 100.

The beauty of all this is that it can be implemented in ANY skin right away and that we can keep re-scraping just this to get the latest ratings displayed in the skin on-the-fly. There is no need to update the XBMC library.

What do you think?

The set is not part of movie details but is a group of movies

Add a field for sets in the details editor. Maybe a pulldown list or something.

Source for the drop down list could be the entries from the Sets Manager.

Genere: is a property of the movie and is imported from the scraper

Set: is not a property of the movie nor can be found online, you can define them as you like, freely

This is why I found a little confusing having a set property in the edit movie...
There is not official-online sets nor an unique way of creating them

From xbmc wiki, the naming of codecs should be following:

Quote:ListItem.VideoCodec Shows the video codec of the currently selected video (common values: 3iv2, avc1, div2, div3, divx, divx 4, dx50, flv, h264, microsoft, mp42, mp43, mp4v, mpeg1video, mpeg2video, mpg4, rv40, svq1, svq3, theora, vp6f, wmv2, wmv3, wvc1, xvid)

ListItem.VideoAspect Shows the aspect ratio of the currently selected video (possible values: 1.33, 1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.20, 2.35)

ListItem.AudioCodec Shows the audio codec of the currently selected video (common values: aac, ac3, cook, dca, dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma, eac3, mp1, mp2, mp3, pcm_s16be, pcm_s16le, pcm_u8, truehd, vorbis, wmapro, wmav2)

I commited some changes in Ember to support this:
dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma were scanned and named correctly, but there were'nt flag icons in Ember before. So I added dtshd_hra.png , dtshd_ma.png to Ember so that for this type of movies, flag icon will be shown. Also added another audio codec mapping: from "a_truehd" to "truehd". I suggest to wait until next version of Ember to check this out and see if everything works.

But I already have clearart in my series folders, I guess I need to just bite the bullet and look into all the artwork changes Frodo made that I am not aware of yet.

From my understanding you need to run art download to add them into XBMC and if you go into program setting you can set it to scan folders to add what you have already. I believe default is to download from web changing it to folders and it will scan your hard drive for art.

I think I might have sorted it out. Bizarrely what was required is to go into the Artwork Download plugin and then set the option "use local files". I have no idea what this does, but clear-art, etc, started showing after I made this change and re-ran artwork downloader against my TV share.... I'm guessing that it downloads all of the art and stuffs it on a local hard drive of the PC with XBMC on it.

I had a strange issue last night. After 4 days of transferring TV Shows to new drives and reloading them all my logo's were missing. I had to set the art down loader to down load off the web to get them back. They were in the folders so no idea why XBMC art download program would not scan them. I had to switch from Aeon to Neon GIT in order to fix it.
