RE: Media Companion Stable & Beta Release with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-02-11 (2013-02-10, 20:54)Zxurian Wrote: roger. Just did a test as per the image you supplied, couldn't reproduce the issue. What I suggest is in the MC folder, there is a cache folder. While MC is closed, delete all files in the Cache folder, restart MC and try to change the poster again. Let us know.

We try to answer as quick as possible, but sometimes I don't get notification of new posts to this thread. As for you multi-part movie. I see possible problems. with it's a sequel for one, and [CD2} I'd suggest tweaking the name to "Khan Kluay 2-part1.mkv" and "Khan Kluay 2-part1.mkv" And yes, there is an issue that if you add a movie set to MC, it can't be removed. I'll add that to the To Do List also.

LOL, Stiop giving me notifications RE: Media Companion Stable & Beta Release with Frodo TV support - Zxurian - 2013-02-11 okay, so given the issues with some .nfo's crashing, I decided to start over. deleted all tvshow.nfo files from all of my directories. Added a Root folder, and added shows from TV, saved, and it went through and added all the TV Shows. Now, Under TV Preferences -> General I had the following options set Download TV Show poster/banner - UNCHECKED Download TV Show Fanart - UNCHECKED Download Season Thumbs - UNCHECKED Download season-all.tbn - NONE Download TV Show Thumbnails - Poster After MC finished scraping, I saw that it had populated all of my directories with seasonXX-banner.jpg even though I had all of the options unset for that. Going through and deleting all of them now. -------- It also looks like it added season posters for seasons that I didn't have yet. ex. I only have \Season 01, & \Season 02, but it downloaded a season03-poster.jpg into the directory. -------- as well as also downloading a season-specials-poster.jpg when I didn't have \Specials directory for that show. RE: Media Companion Stable & Beta Release with Frodo TV support - Zxurian - 2013-02-11 and it looks like on shows that came up unverified after scrapping, it also overwrite the pre-existing artwork that I had there. I know that it at least overwrite "poster.jpg" with a new one.

OK, well that is a bug. I'll add to the To Do List. seems it ignoring the settings. As for scraping seasons and specials that you don't have, that's normal. MC gets any and all artwork that is available. Means if you do add that extra season, it doesn't need to find the poster/banner, same for specials folder. @fma It's definitely a bug. BUT, I want to wait till HueyHQ's had a chance to check out a glitch I've got in this same area. Once that's sorted, I'll plan to go through is area cleaning up the logic some more.

If it's any help, it doesn't look like it overwrote image for shows that it was able to lookup on tvdb/imdb (shows that it found an exact match for).

I can see the usefulness of it, but in some cases (like mine), I'd rather not have it download images ahead of time, especially if I'm never going to end up using them.

Only shows that popped up with a ? or ! when it couldn't find an exact match. So it overwrote only shows it couldn't match or were unverified? So you left artwork in the folder and just deleted the nfo? Then rescraped the TVShow? OK, just read back some posts and I understand. There are two options to fix nfo's. One is in Batch Rescrape Wizard, to re-write all nfo's. Now, you can lock those shows that are OK, so the wizard only runs over the shows you want to fix. Two. Right click the affected show and select "Rescrape TvShow". This will Rescrape the nfo fresh from TheTvDb. Not sure if we can set an option for only scrape season artwork if season exists, as this routine is called before any episodes are scraped. If episodes existed but were's scraped, then the program wouldn't scrape anything. May add to Feature Request, but it'll be down the line some. First have to get everything else working smoothly.

You can check my last few posts to see if I missed anything.) I manually go through afterwards so I can pick exactly what artwork I want, so I'd rather just have it not download anything period except populate the .nfo.(2013-02-11, 21:59)Zxurian Wrote:Not sure if we can set an option for only scrape season artwork if season exists, as this routine is called before any episodes are scraped.

My issue was that MC was crashing on certain pre-existing .nfo's, so rather than try and go through and see which ones MC crashed on, I just deleted them all and had it find everything fresh again.

Well, HueyHQ has fixed some of the scraping area, though Batch Rescrape still downloads the artwork, but this will be fixed in the next release.

I added folders as roots, then Added TV Show folders from Roots, hit [Save], then let it find/scrape everything. |
