Is real-time sync enabled both globally and specifically for the xbmc instance you've set?

Is update of anything else is working? Like if you change a single char in the plot?

And by the way: http://embermm.com/projects/embermm/wiki/XBMC_Controller

No update is working.

I currently have a number of changes, such as new fanart and posters already in EMM that is different than in XBMC....nothing is changing in XBMC.

However, if I add a new movie to EMM and click on the XBMC button in the upper right hand corner, it adds it to XBMC. My understanding of the Library Update was it only picked up new items, it did not pick up items that had changed. The only way to do that would be to remove the movie and add it or to reload the movie or to update the XBMC video database directly.

I'm using the EMM version 1.2.2204 and the latest XBMC module (2210 I think) on Windows 7 64 bit. I'm using drive letters, not UNC paths for my XBMC paths.

olympia Wrote:Hmmm... Real-time sync is only working when you change something on Ember end from now, that realtime sync is enabled. Ember is doing to XBMC sync when it saves changes to the nfo. That means it will not do a mass update on XBMC based on your previous changes in Ember.

It's not a comparison of the two database and sync the diffs.
It's a REAL real-time sync. lol

I thought it was the scraper that was messing up and somehow getting the URL wrong, ok i guess i will just have to input them manually for now and hope the issue gets sorted on TMDB etc...

Thanks for your help

Sparks14 Wrote:OK...that makes sense on why no mass update. But it's still not working for me when I make a change to the nfo. If you aren't updating the XBMC database directly....how does it update the database since a Library Update won't?

And how to I troubleshoot it.

Also I have the Notification turned on and I don't see any message in XBMC that anything is being updated. When I manually click the XBMC button...I see the XBMC Library Update scanning message.

I guess I could move my EMM to the same system I have XBMC and test. But I'm obvioulsy connected to XBMC since my manual Library Update is working.

And what's the differnce than before with using the manual update than the real time sync. Is EMM basically doing a Library Update automatically after every movie edit now if real time sync is turned on.

URL it finds is - http://www.youtube.com/Watch?=2722
But if you put that in IE it redirects to the main youtube page.

lestat1977uk Wrote:Hi Olympia

I didn't mean to come across as harsh, i just didn't understand your explanation and was trying to make sure we didn't have our wires crossed in any way, it sounds like you are saying it is an external issue beyond your control.

I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this issue and whether anyone had any tips..

Again sorry if i offended you and keep up the good work.

NOTE
I should also add that i tried to scrape for a trailers on movies that i had already downloaded trailers for before and it doesn't work so i guess there must be a big problem with both you tube and imdb?
