Svn newbie #2 - zoytoy - 2009-05-21

Ok, so I have yet another SVN newbiew question Smile

First using windows so go easy. I've managed to checkout the package. Now how do I convert that to the .exe etc?

For tortoise I create a folder and right click, goto import and paste the URL you listed on the first page


http://embermediamanager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ embermediamanager-read-only

but it asks for a password. I am using r59 and for some reason it does not scrape posters or fanart. When I scrape a movie the information pulls but when I click on poster or fanart, there is nothing listed and the box to re-scrape poster is greyed out and I can only browse for a local poster or fanart. Any ideas?

Code:
http://embermediamanager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

just add that with tortoise the way you described. Just so you know, you have to compile with vb to use it.

edit: oops just replied to an old post... forgot to refresh
you need vb2008 to compile

I thought I should just add... "load movie" in frame extraction isn't working for me in your newest svn r103. Clicking it does nothing for me at all with no log being produced

I've just switched from MIP to check this out, and oh my goodness, its amazing! keep it up.
Thank you.

r109 and Extras 02 are in the first post. Whether you're downloading for the first time or upgrading, you will need Extras 02 as it contains the genre images and xml. There were lots and lots of little changes and pretty much anything to do with a path was changed so there are probably a few quirks that need to be worked out. But there shouldn't be tooooooo many, as olympia has been testing just about everything, reporting any bugs found, and verifying that the fixes worked. So a very big THANK YOU goes out to olympia for all his help!

This version works with Mono on Linux and Mac, just not very well. lol There are a few hiccups that I need to work out, but the basic functionality is there.

You need to compile the code. You can download Visual Basic Express from Microsoft.com for free. Should work for your needs. Just open the solution then build.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

When updating the database it created a whole bunch of empty files in XBMC.
i have to remove them manually.
anyone got an idea about this ?


- sabone - 2009-05-21

I have some problems with the new built, when i manualy re-scrape movies it only downloads the cast from the first movie after that it puts that cast in every movie i scrape after this, till restarting EMM


- PrimaryMaster - 2009-05-21

Now EMM finds "A.Time.To.Kill.1996.720p.BluRay.x264-FILM[Trailer].mov" instead of " A.Time.To.Kill.1996.720p.BluRay.x264-FILM.mkv"

Why?

Last ver. I had worked....


- TheBurner - 2009-05-21

Is it easy to add new studios so they show up in flags?

*** Sorry just edit xml was lazySmile


- indy5 - 2009-05-21

Can someone explain exactly how the clean function is supposed to work? Does it just go out to your movies folders and remove any of the file types that you specify in the configuration? I have selected all of the file types called <movie>.* and it doesn't seem to remove anything. Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting something different from what it's designed to do?

Thanks

- idioteque - 2009-05-21

perhaps a feature request

I only have movies from 1995 and younger. Perhaps it is possible to enable with auto scraping a defining timescale:

say on no exact match: only return movie from 1995 and younger

+1 - as well as retaining the Poster image from that movie.

By the way - AWESOME application. I've tried the other two players in this space and have encountered a lot of frustration - this is clean and finally allows me to wade through my movies quickly to make sure I've got good posters/fanart/nfo's on everything for XBMC. I was considering writing my own application for this but you've saved me countless weeks of labor!

Thanks for the hard work and dedication!

Are the files created correctly by EMM? And are you using XBMC supported file types?

Why?

Hmmm... it should have ALWAYS been like that. I'm looking for "-trailer", not "[trailer]". I'll add that for next release though.

You have the right idea of how it's supposed to work. All the entries labeled with <movie> means that it will use the movie name as the title of the file it looks for to delete. (eg- If you have a movie called "the dark knight.avi" it will look for and delete "the dark knight.nfo", "the dark knight.tbn" etc) If it's NOT working that way, please give me an example of the file names that it did not delete and what the filename of the movie associated with them is.

Hmmm I suppose that's possible. Please add a feature request to the google code page or I'll forget about it. lol

Is it just the cast and poster or is it all of the information? EDIT: Nevermind, I found the problem... fixed for next release.

Looks like Actors/Poster/Fanart

Steps to recreate:

Fresh load of App
Select Movie 1 - do a Rescrape with Current ID
Select New Poster
Attempt to Select New Fanart but get 'No Fanart Available' (I think there's an issue at themoviedb right now - lot's or Rail errors.)
Click OK

Select Movie 2 - do a Rescrape with Current ID
Up comes the Fanart Page with the same Fanart from Movie #1
-Poster tab reflects Movie #1
-Details tab reflects Movie #1 Actors but everything else *appears* to be from Movie 2

FYI - Running Windows 7 RC Build
