Lestat - rescraping for a trailer you already have, which is going to go to the internet to look for a new trialer, is going to run into the same problem you have when looking for a new trailer you don't already have. If TMDB's API doesn't work, it's not going to work in either situation. It is all reliant on the same thing.

Ok that makes sense, as i said in my previous post i'm just trying to find out if this is a global issue or not, as no one seems to be doing anything about it and people are acting like there isn't a problem.
If it is something i can help fix then i are quite willing to do that but i know who (if not here) who i should be reporting this too.
I don't mean to offend, it's just i don't seem to be getting anywhere with this and could do with a pointer in the right direction.
Also you ahve both mentioned the API but not being a programmer i don't completely understand that.

I am starting to give up on this. You don't have to be a programmer to follow the links I pointed out and READ!
API is an interface with which Ember communicate with tmdb.
How many more times I have to write down to you (becuase this is the 3rd!), that changes you make in tmdb web is not immediately available via the API. I linked you and explanation from tmdb itself.

We can't explain everything bit by bit. I pointed you to the right direction, but here is an other hint: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=http+api+sync+themoviedb
... and I am the one who always said to be harsh, without common decency
What else shall I do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry i am not trying to get into an argument with you, you may feel you explained well enough before but i really didn't understand what you wrote (above) , much like you didn't understant my previous NOTE.
Anyway all of that does not matter, it sounds like this is an API problem and nothing to do with EMM, i get that (i got that when Myrison explained it) However all i wanted to know was what to do next and if other people had similar issues, as this is a very good feature and would be happy if it started working again. (again i understand it is not the fault of EMM)
I will look at the link more thoroughly and do some googling, in the mean time if anyone else comes up with a solution i would interested to hear it.

Quote from the post I linked to you (what you still haven't read before requesting a solution here again):
Quote:That means if you've made some recent changes to the db, it could take 3-4 days for you to pick them up through the API.
To translate it:
If you find a wrong google link on themoviedb.com and you are nice enough to correct it there, then you will need to wait 1-4 days before you can happily scrape it with any application which is using the API.
Which means to me, that nothing seems to be wrong. Youtube don't like to be scraped. They do everything to block apps which are trying to do so. Their current action was to change URLs...
- myrison - 2010-05-04
Olympia, it's not just you... you're being very clear (and patient!) in your posts. Lestat, no offense intended because it's obvious you aren't trying to be problematic, but geeze man, this thread is getting fairly repetitive. Take another careful read of Olympia's posts and hopefully it'll be more clear what she is saying.

I didn't think it was very clear (sorry) , I was confused by the way the posts were phrased (it maybe because English is not her first language) so therefore i was asking for more clarity, i also wanted to see if other people (other than you and olympia) were having the problem and if we could get a solution together.
Anway I think the bullet point here is it youtube's fault, they have change their URLs again and all the TMDB data needs to be updated to rectify this. why didn't someone just say that! , It really would of saved all of us and lot of time and anguish lol
Anyway thanks for your help and i'm sorry i didn't understand as quickly as you had wanted me too.

olympia Wrote:- You still have to use the library update on the top-right corner for new movies. As it is written on the wiki.I think I found out the reason why my Real-time sync isn't working. I had upgraded my XBMC to one of the nightly builds...apparently the sync doesn't work on it. I installed XBMC from scratch and the sync works great. BTW.....very very cool feature.
- Real-time sync is only dealing with changes you do in Ember. If you modify any data or image of a movie, Ember will update XBMC. It's not done by directly writing into the database but via XBMC's HTTP API as well. I mean different API commands are used to accomplish this, not the normal library update one.

Thank you for reporting, this is a valuable information for us.
...and bad signs at the same time. lol
New episodes missing - scraped with Ember MM - olevelo - 2010-05-04
I've seen this issue many times in the archives, but no resolution to it! I recently scraped my entire library using Ember, creating individual .nfo's for each episode. I rescanned my entire library in XBMC successfully (the media and Ember are running on my Win7 office pc and XBMC is running on Ubuntu in the living room media center). Everything looked great.
When new episodes are added to Win7, I'm able to scrape them successfully with Ember, new .nfo's are created. But when I run "update library" on XBMC, I get nothing. The xbmc.log shows "Not adding item to library as no info was found" for each directory, even though there is a tvshow.nfo. There is no <episodeguide> tag, but my understanding is that is only needed if there isn't an indvidual .nfo for the episodes.
If I do a "Refresh" on the TV show or season, it does find the new episode, or if I go into "Videos" to view the folder structure, the new episode is there but with no watched/unwatched checkbox...if I run info on it, then it updates as well. So basically "Update Library" is skipping over everything for some reason. It does update new movies.
I'm using build 28256 if that makes a difference.

It should, but very little testing was done yet.
Please give a try and gives us some feedback

I have some problems with v1.2
After clicking the Update Library Button I only get the message "Performing Preliminary Tasks (Gathering Data) in the bottom left corner and thats it. When I make a fresh new install of EMM the Library Scan works only the first time but when I restart EMM I have the same problem again.
I`m using Win7 64bit.

Check permissions to Ember folder and files. 1.2 don't request elevation of privileges (UAC) as 1.1. So now is user responsibility to give right access to Ember own files/folders!
(Also you can copy/move ember folder to \user\<windows user>\<Ember folder>, usually no security issues in this folder!)
EDIT: First time works, because Setup ask elevation of privileges, and then run Ember under the same privileges

I've been having a lot of problems with the >1.0 version of ember:
1. Movie listings / TV listings sometimes don't display properly - i.e. it scans my movies but nothing is displayed. I've cleaned the cache and database and still no luck.
2. The TV scaper is having a lot of issues, names are not scraped correctly, and when manually setting the unknown episodes I'm getting an index out of bounds error.
Most concerning is issue #1, how do I get my movies to display after doing an "Update Library".
Running under Windows XP. v1.2.
