carmenm Wrote:Just updated my whole library and it works great.rescrape it
I have only one problem:
In the settings i have chosen to save and load posters from folder.jpg and movie.tbn
But when i scrap posters it only saves folder.jpg.
The problem with that is that xbmc doesnt see them.
So i bulked renamed folder.jpg to movie.tbn. It s ok for xbmc but now i lost folder.jpg
Could you make so that when you save data you saev all formats chosen?
Also during update it would be great that if folder.jpg exists and you also have chosen to save as movie.tbn, you copy folder.jpg as movie.tbn
What do you think?
EDIT: just found out that it works correctly on new movie with no data. The problem is with movies with existing data
it will take no time since it gets data from the nfo anyway!I believe you can set content to none, clean library and rescrape. I've just been deleting the drive entries and then rescraped, same thing really.

I have done that this morning and it didnt change a thing. In fact there is two problems:
- The first one is with EMM: When i update the library or ask to update posters, it doesnt create movie.tbn if there is a folder.jpg. It only works if there is no poster at all.
- The other one is with XBMC: I updated all my movies by copying folder.jpg to movie.tbn and it still doesnt see the poster. Or to be true it sees it if i do movie information on every movie! What a mess.
Now you are right on one thing i didnt do the clean/reimport since i copied folder.jpg to movie.tbn but i though the scraper of XBMC also looked for folder.jpg. Yet i will try a clean library once again. Thanks

1> The only way this is possible at the moment is to go one by one and hit "Change Poster (Local)" for each movie.
2> XBMC caches the data. If you've made changes, you need to either go one by one and reload the movie data, or change the source type to "None" to clear the library then change the source type back to "Movies" to reload the info for all movies at one time.

Maybe you programers can answer this, As I am having problems with EMM. I hide all my files - .nfo, .jpg, .tbn. Except the AVI files. Because I use other player (xbox 360) in a different room and want everything hidden to be nice and clean.
However EMM gets access denied when trying to save my scapes or updates to hidden files. The other problem - so do some programs on windows. If I make a text file, open with wordpad, I can save it, however once hidden, wordpad gets access denied. - Notepad on the other hand, can still write to the hidden file, so can Microsoft Word. So it proves that it isn't windows or access it is just how the program is written.
Is there anyway we can make EMM be able to write to hidden files?
Edit - On a bit of researching I have come across this.
If CREATE_ALWAYS and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL are specified, CreateFile fails and sets the last error to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED if the file exists and has the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN or FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM attribute. To avoid the error, specify the same attributes as the existing file.For more information, see Creating and Opening Files (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/creating_and_opening_files.asp).

Just wanted to give a huge thankyou to all the developers/testers/programmers that had a hand in this. I've been fighting against XBMC scraping since day one, with some stuff not scanning correctly or at all. Someone on another forum pointed Ember out to me and it solved all my issues in about an hour. Plus I finally got to setup movie sets so the library looks cleaner than ever. Thanks dudes!

Ok tahnks a lot for clarifying. About 2) i found out that using folder.jpg for movie library thumbs doesnt work. Though my problem...
about 1) do you think you could add a way of automating that kind of task?
Thanks a lot

nul7 Wrote:No, not at all. lol Like I said, a few seconds per movie. Did you check to see if the all the files were created properly?
Just wanted to follow up in case somebody else comes across the same issue. I seemed to have solved my problem.
When I was running my scan within XBMC yesterday, the XBMC window was maximized. For whatever reason, this was taking a ridiculous amount of time (about 15 minutes or so) to just scan in my 2 test movies (that I already had created all the NFO, fanart and posters for via EMM).
Today, while messing around, I inadvertently un-maxed my XBMC window and everything is all good. I just did a rescan of all my movies (~600) on my WHS box and it completed them in ~15 minutes.

i just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the hard work that has gone into creating this amazing tool. It is absolutely fantastic!
- rickardkk - 2009-12-27
I use this fantastic tool scrap meta etc. One BIG problem though:
I already have folder.jpg and movie.tbn for every movie folder in my share.
So I unticked everything regarding poster and fanart in the settings for EMM.
If wrong meta is collected and you use "change movie" to select the right match EMM will delete the movie.tbn and folder.jpg.
Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this "by design"?

That's by design because by clicking "change movie" you're telling Ember that the info/files it has for the selected movie are incorrect.

Yes, but that's only because EMM picked the wrong movie's meta data.
The folder.jpg and movie.tbn that's already located in the movie folder are correct. So it would be great if EMM could leave them alone in this case.
If you working with a big collection that already have posters and/or fanart (that you spent many hours collecting) it would be great to have an option to keep them.

please help and thanks
Hi michellembrodeu,
I am one of the contributors to EMM. I have made a little app to test my theory on your problem - I believe it may have to do with the way EMM configures the web request.
Please download this little app that will test out my theory:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zwdzm0dbhzm
Run the app and on the screen, hit the Go button. It should timeout as it is using the same code as EMM currently. Then check the 'Proxy' checkbox and try again. If it works, then let me know and we can update the EMM code.
