RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-06-09
(2016-06-09, 11:47)tstaddon Wrote: Hi
This is a great tool, but I have a couple of questions.
1. I have a NAS with a manual folder structure - the NFO and art scrape fine but the set assignments are rather annoying. Is there a way to get it to treat the parent folder as a new collection if there are lots of films in that folder, e.g. Mycustomset\Film1\Film1.nfo, Mycustomset\Film2\Film2.nfo
Unfortunately not. I suspect your asking to create a new set (eg Mycustomset as a set/collection) if there is more than one sub-folder with a movie, in the parent folder.
Quote:2. Can it rename the .nfo to match the film name? (I'm not sure if this is at all important, but I like to keep things tidy).
Thanks
By default, Media Companion required the nfo to be the same as the movie filename, unless you have the option to save as Basic Save Mode
ie: movie.nfo, movie.tbn, fanart.jpg
Now, if you have the nfo's as movie.nfo etc, disabling Basic Save Mode, and renaming just the movie, will change the movie.nfo and movie.tbn to the filename of the movie.
ie: Basic Save files
Code:
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\Brave (2012).mkv
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\movie.nfo
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\movie.tbn
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\fanart.jpgRenaming after disabling Basic Save Mode
Code:
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\Brave (2012).mkv
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\Brave (2012).nfo
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\Brave (2012).tbn
z:\MovieTemp\Brave (2012)\fanart.jpgI hope this is of help.

Thanks for adding this!
Can you make it write "TV Movie" instead of "Tv Movie"? If you can't, I guess I have to edit NFOs manually after scraping.
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - bobrap - 2016-06-14
Hey, Rob. Had to go back to 52b. Too many problems for me with the new version. On the TV side, actors are not displayed. When scanning TV shows, locks up when it comes across a new show with an empty folder. This is the error:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Media_Companion.TvShow'.
at Media_Companion.Form1.tv_ShowLoad(TvShow Show)
at Media_Companion.Form1.TvTreeview_AfterSelect_Do()
Since I couldn't get past this, can't give much more feedback. Thanks.

Yes, I can make that TV Movie

Interesting. I also had tv actors not displaying for one series, hunted for the cause, but it corrected itself. Couldn't trace the issue after that.
I'll try and reproduce so I get it sorted. Probably due to changes in how MC now reads the tvshow.nfo and adds it to the cache.
In what way scanning TV Shows? searching for new episodes? or checking for new TV Series?

I can add the folder for a new show. If I highlight that show or search new, I get the error. Forgot to add that some shows are fine, some are not. Some of the no goes: APB, American Gods, Blacklist: Redemption.

Fix in place for both Series actors and also for error after scrape.
Found the error was caused if the series did not have a Premier date, and Mc was trying to extract the series Year value.
Hope to do a new release later today.

Great, thanks. Thought that would be the scrapeing problem.
Up for a couple of requests?

um, maybe? What you have in mind?
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - bobrap - 2016-06-15
About everything is in the tv section. Would like to be able select multiple shows and seasons to mark as watched/unmatched. Same with root folders...would like to be able to select more than one. I think I asked awhile ago about being able to select the number of genres, like in movies. I think you said that was a no go. That's about all. These are wish list kind of things. Thanks.
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-06-15
Multi selecting in the Treeview is not possible. Tried a hack to get this working, but it failed miserably as it wasn't kosher code.
As for number of Genre's, you'd like to set the maximum genre's for tv series?
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - bobrap - 2016-06-15
I never found the need for more than two genres for tv or movies.
Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-06-15
Well I can either set the limit the same as for movies or a new option for TV only.
Suppose a new option for TV only might be best.
