One slight change in which compression used in 7-Zip, and Avast is not throwing up virus warnings.

I Hope Avira remains calm now also.

Some movies have an enormous number of fanart (try 9½ Weeks (1986)) and some movies take a lot longer possibly due to bad connection to pictures. I had to kill the process and google pictures. Thanks!

The loading of Fanart and Posters change is a temporary measure till I can get some time to put these into a background thread, and incorporate a cancel method.

And selecting a image then clicking save stops the background process.

It'll be available in the next release.

Also, I keep getting this error during the batch rescrape.

And now I don't where I should start the rescrape. I guess I just have to rescrape everything again?

I do not believe it will only run over the filtered movies, but would need to check and test.

As for the error message. You may need to be a full refresh, then run Movie Set ID check.

Trying to get a new build up to counter the TMDB issue, so I don't have time to check the movieset section right now.

1st one is where we are saving the nfo

Which error are you getting? And post up the error message on https://mediacompanion.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced

Getting the both when using Batch Rescraping Wizard for TMDB set names and movie set artwork. They're the same as those screenshots.

I don't understand. The command shows only total number of movies it's checking, and the number is only a half of my movie set collection.

Movie Set ID Check only lists those movies with no moviesetId. This is just the movies missing. No point in processing all sets if some have the ID number.

For some reason the filter lists about a half of my movie set collection, and the movie set ID check command seems to be checking only movie set movies not included in that filter. But all of my movie set collections have TMDB set names and set ID in their nfo files.

Also, I can't remember if this was addressed earlier, but what is the possibility of moving articles (An, The) to the end a la Movies? If too much a hassel or it's been addressed and my dumb ass just can't find it, then move along. Nothing to see...

Thanks

It has been requested to also use TMDb for TV Series and Episodes, but I haven't looked any further into it.
IMDB is a No Go. Disabled and then removed couple of years ago as it was getting too complex to successfully scrape Series and Episode data.

For ignored articles, there are a couple of options.
1. Visual move ignored articles are in General Preferences -> Common Settings tab.
2. Movie renaming, look in Movie Preferences - General Tab.

Cheers.
