I've also had huge problems with BoB...

Try naming the file like this:
"Band.Of.Brothers.s01.e01.Currahee.720p.HDDVD.mkv" ------- *no space before .mkv thogh*

That worked for me... I Think "2001" screws things up for some reason!

UPDATE!
Nevermind... saw that you had a different problem than I first thought! Smile

Another round of test builds on http://www.mediafire.com/embermm

Once again, you must delete your database, and I suggest you delete your settings file to get the updated default show filters.

Lots of little fixes, tweaks, speed improvements, and support for custom tv show matching regex. It's a little more complicated than XBMC's style of regex matching, but I think it allows for more complex patterns.

I'll use kschreiber's setup as an example:

kschreiber7 Wrote:I need help getting my TV shows read with build 1125 of EMM. The format of my shows are:

R:\The_Sopranos\01.01.The.Sopranos.VOB
R:\The_Sopranos\01.01.The.Sopranos.nfo
R:\The_Sopranos\01.01.The.Sopranos.tbn

where the filename is season.episode.title.vob

All shows for all seasons are in the same folder. I added my working custom filter [0]*([0-9]+).[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]* for XBMC into EMM but it didn't find anything. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to rename/organize all of my shows as XBMC doesn't have any problems with it, nut I was to use EMM to manage them.

In this case, you could do the following:

Season Regex: ^(?<season>[0-9]+)\.[0-9]+\.
Retrieve From: File Name

Episode Regex: \.(?<episode>[0-9]+)\.
Retrieve From: Result

This will run the season regex against the file name and return a result of 01.01. with the first 01 being the season group. Then the episode regex will run off of that result and return the second 01.

The Season regex must contain a <season> group name and the Episode regex must contain an <episode> group name. The season regex runs first. "Retrieve From" is what the pattern is run against. So if you set the season "retrieve" to "Directory Name", it will try to find a match on the folder name... if you set it to "File Name", it will try to find a match on the file name. The episode "retrieve" is similar, except it also has the option to run on the result from the season regex.

Hope all that makes sense. If you have trouble figuring out a custom regex for your shows, just let me know.

Is that all it does right now? It doesnt scrape just yet right? Good Work so far!

No scraping yet. I think I'm pretty much done with the loading stuff... so next I'll work on the editor and make sure saving is up to par. Then on to scraping....

MrDVD Wrote:Friend and me found the error, ITS NOT YOUR FAULT Smile))
Samba under ubuntu 9.10 is the problem.

I added now temp inside smb.conf under [Global] "max open files = 20240" and now all eps are displayed.

EDIT2:
some counter like under Movies would be cool so that we know that EMM found all Series, as with 100+ its not that easy to be sure Smile

Glad you got it all working (and that it wasn't a bug in Ember lol)! I added a counter for TV Shows which is in this format: "Shows (X/YY)". X = total number of shows and YY = total number of episodes.

Great! Thanks!

Just one question. What is the best way to handle the pilot movie? In the case of Battlestar Galactica, there are several movies, which do now belong to the series dvds. However, like the pilot movie, these movies are connected to the serie. Therefore I would like to have them "near" to the series and not in the movie database.

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe you put all the extras in season 0. I think XBMC will then mark them as "Specials".

That's find and dandy if the movie is on TheTVDB as a special, but if it's not, XBMC allows you to 'associate' a movie with a TV series. I'm not sure of the exact wording, but if you go to the context menu of a movie, it's fairly clear which option I mean.


- MrDVD - 2010-01-22

nul7 - thx for the new testbuild Smile

I see you scan at the moment only one cover ? (season-all.tbn)
but i think "folder.jpg" is the correct for the Series and seasonxx.tbn the one for each season ?

And a big thx for the counter its now easy to check if EMM found all series.
It would be cool if we can have in one of the next builds also an counter for the episodes. Maybe like "scanned episodes/total episodes". (i know you need to scrap to have this infos) to have an fast overview if there is any episode missing Smile

I also would like to have the episode # in front of the episode title.

When you start one day with the scraper itself pls remember us non english ppl Smile
There is an option at thetvdb to use an users nativ language. XBMC itself call it "Language Override for Banners".

Hi nul7,

i tried your latest release from today. During the test i found two bug. First the sets manager in Movies doesent work. And second, the switch $M doesent work to create a new path.

When the emm Test Build supports german language in the TV section, that would be great.

Thank you for your excellent work.

Efty

I have a small request, I'd like to be able to see if there is a trailer link filled in. Now I have to go right mouse click - edit movie, and check if there is a trailer link.

You only get a checkmark in the main list view when there is a local trailer found. I don't think many people want a local trailer since it takes a while to download all of them, and it can be streamed anyway. Smile

Also - I don't see how to work with the Youtube trailers properly...If I fetch the mp4 link with downloadhelper (firefox addon) it seems to work when I play it in ember, when I press the play button it opens up the browser and wants to download the mp4. But when I save it, close it, update my library and test it it doesn't work. When I browse to the movie info again in ember the url is suddenly corrupt: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=3YkFGN9M6tQ&t=vjVQa1PpcFMDLu88hQYrtsAkq-gmVhS6pbDizEuNj7Q%3D&fmt=18 <-- that link doesn't work anymore.

When I create a 'fetch format' from a youtube video and save the link to the nfo, it doesn't work either. What is going wrong? It has worked before...


- igotdvds - 2010-01-23

Could you be so kind as to add the ability to scrape and ask if it doesnt find a studio and also MPAA rating?

Basically what you have at the top: Scrape Media > Movies Missing Items > Studios

And then add another one: Scrape Media > Movies Missing Items > MPAA


- steve1977 - 2010-01-23

Great to see that EMM now reads NFO files. Looking forward to actually scrape with it soon.

One feature reuest: would be great to be able to have EMM let me know what episodes I am missing in my collection. Thanks!!!

Media Flags - jmartin147 - 2010-01-23

I had this running fine on my Windows XP box but when I upgraded to Windows 7 (64bit) I lost the ability to detect media flags.

I have the correct MediaInfo.dll file in my executable folder and the DotNet Framework installed just as I did before.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?


- tbird2340 - 2010-01-24

Need a little help to figure out why EMM isn't downloading posters and fanart from TMDB from movies that are listed..

An example is UFC 100

Thanks

Since installing the latest test built post in this thread, my movie database behaves a bit funny. Trying to find out what has made this happen:

1) Any difference on movies between the latest stable release and the test built including TV shows from this thread?

2) I have installed the test built in a separate new folder. Are there any shared folders outside EMM folder, which could lead to problems like this?

3) I am a bit confused about a few naming conventions for multi-part movies:
* Movie_cd1-fanart OR Movie-fanart
* Movie_cd1.tbn OR Movie.tbn
* Movie.nfo OR Movie_cd1.nfo
* Movie_cd1-trailer OR Movie-trailer


Thanks in advance for your help!!!
