Am I supposed to hit some sort of save button or does just closing the settings window do the trick?

If anyone can reproduce I will post a bug report. I can't find any save settings button.

It retains the settings just fine for me. Just make sure you click "Ok" or "Apply" and not "Cancel" after setting the folder. Also be sure that you've installed the latest version of Ember to a different directory as any previous installations as this can cause settings issues if you don't.

is there a way to have ember rename my tv shows after i scan them? i used xmm before and i would use the auto rename to keep all my files looking the same.

Ah I think that's it. There is no ok or apply button. I assume ember media manager isn't tested under windows 7 default font size of 125%. I love this enlarged view and most software works fine with it. I guess this would be either a bug report or a feature request for emm?

I've downloaded the latest, and it looks good. I had the movies working, and now I look forward to doing my TV shows.

My TV show library is completely from DVDs that I ripped. I ripped one disc into each folder, meaning that the folder will contain multiple episodes. I don't yet have a naming convention, so I'd appreciate any pointers on the best way to do it.

I have tried a couple things, but the scraping isn't working "out of the box". For instance, I've tried:

Chuck.s01e01e02e03e04

for the folder containing the VOB/IFO files for the first disc of "Chuck" season 1, which scrapes the series, but doesn't get the episodes. I wouldn't even mind updating manually, but I don't see how it can be done with multiple episodes in the same folder.

I'm using the program Ember Media Manager to organize the movies, the program is spectacular.

BUT, I have a problem. The films to be available in the "library" I have to enter one by one, and it happens that the file folder.jpg and fanart.jpg not use the original, why?

IN XBMC

XBMC does not do a rescan to the images and nfo's. If xbmc finds a new video file it first looks for regarding .nfo .tbn and -fanart.jpg files and loads them into its database.
If you change these files later with emm, xbmc does not look for a change of this files.
You can do (like you alread know) a rescan on every movie seperately OR you can switch the content with "set content" for this source to "none" and then back to "movie" with any scraper. (xbmc only looks for this files if a scraper is chosen).
But you will get some informations lost because they are deleted in the xbmc database. (watched status, date added,...)

same problem here, emm doesn`t find any trailer at all.

We already have a potential fix in SVN for downloading trailers during scrapers.
But manual trailer downloading should work.

But actually, with these settings, you will never get trailers during scrapers... Smile

Thank you for all your hard work guys - congrats on the new release, we really appreciate it! Smile

nul7 asked that we try out the new Ember release with Mono.

But, how do I install it?

I installed the latest Mono framework for Mac OS X and in Terminal.app I wrote:
mono EmberSetup.exe

After a while, it crashes and the Terminal reads:
Segmentation fault

Any ideas?

My XBMC do a scan! : /

Maybe I'm doing things wrong. The films appear first in the "Files", then I do like the image to appear in the "library", do it one by one. I think I'm doing it wrong. Smile

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still having trouble.

As this topic is not related to my problem, I have another separately, see here:

Have I missed something in the latest version, on previous versions if I wanted to change the poster I could just double click the movie title select the poster tab and hit "change poster (scrape)" but this is greyed out on the latest version ?

Ack... You've found a bug. If themoviedb.org is the only selection for image scraping, then this button is disabled. We will fix this.

Workaround: Enable at least one other site for image scraping.
