- elecga - 2010-01-03 You can't use folder.jpg for your posters, go into options -> file naming and check <movie>.tbn for posters and fanart.jpg for backdrops. - elzafir - 2010-01-03 elecga Wrote:You can't use folder.jpg for your posters, go into options -> file naming and check <movie>.tbn for posters and fanart.jpg for backdrops. I am intrigued by this post. Can anyone confirm this? I put my movies inside "/Movies" folder, and each movie has its own "/Movie Title (Year)" folder. In XBMC, I set the content as "movies". I use the "folder.jpg" settings from EMM. Spent the last two days fine tuning my library, haven't utilized EMM synchronize function to XBOX yet (is this by the way necessary? Couldn't XBMC just scan the my folder for the posters and .nfo?). Was it all for nothing? Must I rename all folder.jpg files to "<movie>.tbn"? On other note, I feel very grateful to the contributors of EMM and XBMC. You guys make me look cool! - elecga - 2010-01-03 I'm sure someone else can confirm it but you can also check the wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Thumbnails#Video_Thumbnails fyi, before i switched to xbmc my collection was all folder.jpg, xbmc wouldn't pick them up until I switched to tbn. I just started using emm so i'm not sure of renaming features but I just deleted all my folder.jpg's and autoscraped posters making sure that only <movie>.tbn was checked. I'm pretty sure the sync function just sends the update library command to xbmc, up to you if you need it. I have that command mapped to a remote button so I just use that. - Shuey - 2010-01-03 elzafir Wrote:Was it all for nothing? Must I rename all folder.jpg files to "<movie>.tbn"? If you end up deciding to rename all your folder.jpg files to <movie>.tbn files, you can use Bulk Rename Utility to do this. It's extremely fast and intuitive - xm41907 - 2010-01-03 I've had a weird thing happen today. I was scraping several new movies and for some reason the NFO is coming out in german. I have all the settings made for english, and USA, but it isn't working. Has anyone else had a similar thing happen? - Therms - 2010-01-04 What is the point of the <thumb> and <fanart> items in the .nfo? Are they needed since EMM is downloading us a local copy of the fanart and poster we want? - abauomy - 2010-01-04 PLZ What "sort files into folders" DO - NasaGeek - 2010-01-04 abauomy Wrote:PLZ What "sort files into folders" DO It will take a single folder filled with video files and place each video file in its own folder. Each folder will take the same name as the video file it contains. - sumofatguy - 2010-01-04 Along with the current template tags that are implemented (<$MOVIENAME> <$YEAR><$COUNT> <$FILENAME> <$DIRNAME> <$OUTLINE> <$PLOT> <$VIDEO> <$AUDIO> ... etc), it would be nice to have another tag which would show the date the file was added to the library. This way, templates could also have a 'recently added' section or something, showing the last 10 movies added. I do not know if this is feasible or not and if you were already thinking of adding a feature such as this. thanks! - elzafir - 2010-01-04 Shuey Wrote:If you end up deciding to rename all your folder.jpg files to <movie>.tbn files, you can use Bulk Rename Utility to do this. It's extremely fast and intuitive Thanks for the BRUtility, I didn't know such programs exist. But before I jump into the .tbn bandwagon, I need to know what this means... Code: Folder Thumbnails Its from the wiki. It says it can use folder.jpg. But then, there is a part to set up Video thumbnails: Code: Movie so, to make things clear: 1. Does that mean I CAN use folder.jpg only for normal folders if I haven't set content to "Movies"? 2. If I set content to "Movies", I have to use movie.tbn? 3. Is movie.tbn the CORRECT way of doing this? Sorry for the winding post. I'm just very confused. My fingers are huge. Bulk renamer does not change the filename. - JAH_ - 2010-01-04 hi. I've just started using Ember MM and so far I'm very happy with it. But I have a problem whit the bulk renamer. Most of the movies are processed successfully, but not all. it seems that if the movie contains the source in the filename, it will not rename itself properly. One example: Movies\Bad Boys (1995)\Bad Boys.dvd.avi will show up in bulkrenamer with correct title and path, but in the filename field it says "Bad Boys vi". NewFileName displays the correct new filename. Where does the "vi" come from? When I hit "Rename" it seems like it starts to rename the files with the progress bar and everything, but it doesn't do anything. When I open Bulkrenamer again, it show the same list over movies to rename filepattern is "$T{.$S}". I've also tried changing the pattern to "$T" with no luck. I'm running r1102 on W7 32bit Please let me know if you want me to post some screenshots or if you require more info. Cheers, JAH - Therms - 2010-01-04 JAH_ Wrote:hi. I've noticed the same. - abauomy - 2010-01-05 How to sort by sort by IMDB rating multi-threading - ducklord - 2010-01-05 EMM might be the best Media Manager I've come across, and really, the only one that stayed on my hard drive. My main problem with it is that it's painfully slow. I'd really like to see some kind of multi-threading incorporated in it when pulling info - I don't know if it already does that, but it could, say, ask at the same time for info, posters, images and so on from multiple sites, and not one after the other. To take it even further, it could ask at the same time for multiple movie info, say, like pulling at the same time info for 4 movies from IMDB - exactly like if you'd had opened 4 tabs in Firefox. I guess that that would make the program blazing fast. As for the possible problem of "what would happened if the program needed some user action for failed items", like if it didn't find the coresponding info for two or more movies it had asked at the same time, it could simply "cue" the errors and ask the user sequentially to input info. I don't know if I'm asking much, but that would be the killer feature for me. Everything else is almost perfect. Best regards and congrats on a great program. Ducklord - nul7 - 2010-01-05 cault Wrote:Hello, To be honest, I haven't messed with this feature since coding it... so something could have gone wrong with it since then. lol Please file a bug report on embermm.com and we'll take a look at it. digzz Wrote:I'm finding it Hard to manually edit the Meta Data. Every Time I select what I want it doesn’t change a thing when the box closes when I close the box. Is anybody having the same problem? I’m running the 64x version. I run the x64 version and have no problems editing meta data. What exact steps are you using to try to change it? diemos Wrote:Welcome back nul7! we all missed you. Thank you! And a belated Happy Holidays and New Years to you and yours, as well! elecga Wrote:I just started playing around with the trailer scraper and had some questions. I ran the auto scrape a couple days ago and it found trailers for most of the movies but for the ones with youtube urls they dont stream in xbmc. Both the automatic and manual scrapers use the same code to get the trailer from TMDB/YouTube. It's possible that the links posted to TMDB were dead whenever you did the first scrape and have since been updated. SpazMonkey Wrote:I was digging around the OP and page 261 and saw some discussion about Taglines and Ember Media Manager. I am currently using version R1102. I can not yet figure out how to get it to properly pull a tagline. Currently for all of my movies it is pulling <div class="info-content"> instead of an actual tagline. I dug around the known bugs page for EMM and could not find it as a listed bug. I have however got EMM to work wonders for every other part of my library. Thanks for the help. This was a problem a while ago (IMDB changing their format), but should be fixed in the last version or two. Please verify what version you are using and update if necessary. Therms Wrote:Is it possible for EMM to use the info in already present .nfo files? I have a great number of movies I'd like to better scrape. All of them have .nfo files with the imdb id in them, but it seems like if I scrape them with the "Ask" option it asks on movies that it should easily be able to pick between if it looked at the imdb and year information. It shouldn't ask for anything in this case. If what you posted is exactly what's in the nfo, it should just pull the id and scrape accordingly. Please post a bug report on embermm.com and we'll try to get to the bottom of it. steve1977 Wrote:Any thoghts on above? I believe that it has something to do with timeout time and as of that, it only downloads a part of the movie? Might be the same issue for trailers, which are cut after a while? Cannot confirm for trailers, but definitely still a big issue for me for movieart. Any thoughts? I've noticed it on rare occasion too, I just keep forgetting to see what's going on. lol Please post a bug report on embermm.com so we have a reminder. ezechiel1917 Wrote:Not sure if this haven't been discussed yet, but is it possible to not scrape WGA from writers? <credits>WGA / Scott Neustadter / Michael H. Weber</credits> Please post this as a feature request on embermm.com. krl69 Wrote:Just a couple of days ago I started to use this excellent program for scraping all my movies. Well, your use of sets is not exactly as intended. Sets are for box sets and groups of movies from a series. I think setting genres to these movies would work better for your usage. steve1977 Wrote:Had the same problem under an old version, but fixed for me under R1102. Maybe try a full new install and see whether this fixed it?! You can do a custom scraper for just the tagline. rvank Wrote:Hi all, We try to conform as close as possible to XBMC's stacking methods, and, correct me if I'm wrong, they do not stack across directories. You'll need to put the movie files from both discs into the same folder. unmesh Wrote:I'm embarrassed to ask this but I have not been able to figure it out on my own. You need to set it as "Movies". It doesn't matter what scraper you pick. XBMC will check for the local files first. If found, it will read from those. If not, it will fall back to the scraper you picked. |
