I think you need to add your flags to flags.xml
in <vtype> section add something like
<name searchstring="offdvd">

i will try to delete the file mention in previous post and see what happends
thank you
Yeah, one thing I forgot about with the test version is that the version number didn't change....... so it never executed the code to upgrade the database. If you open settings and look for the version entry and change it to something like r100..... it should upgrade the database properly.
MrDVD Wrote:But it displayed the filtered one but than when you del the filter ist still stayed on the count of the filtered one. (at last in r257 will test it ltr with the new one)
Edit1: in r263 its seems to be fixed and it display now all the time the total count.
Edit2: Dont know how but r263 did some new strange sorting for the regex and it but the 2 last one for "date" and "." on top. (FilterCustom)
Ah, gotcha... probably had something to do with how I was handling the filters before. It's much more streamlined now.
For the sorting problem.... not sure how I did that but must have accidentally enabled sorting on the list. I've fixed that for next version.

Thanks! Are you vismvism? Is it what you wanted with the feature request? Any suggestions for changes?
Ayla Wrote:nul7,
The subtitle column is only checked if you have a .srt or similar, right?
Shouldn't it be checked too, when the studio tag says "subeng", "subswe" or similar?
It checks for .sst, .srt, .sub, .ssa, .aqt, .smi, .sami, .jss, .mpl, .rt, .idx, and .ass. I think that's all the subtitle formats that are compatible with XBMC.
I look at the checkboxes as folder contents (actual files on the hard drive).... so, no, it shouldn't be checked when the studio tag has a subtitle flag.
mark007 Wrote:I suppose what I am highlighting here is 1 bug, one feature request and one little trivial issue.
Fanart / Extrathumbs Bug
Found a bug with latest version. Not sure if you can reproduce easily. I am downloading fanart for v for vendetta, and saving all of the highest quality images for extrathumbs.
I highlight the fourth one to be use as main fanart. When I hit OK, the main fanart hasn't changed. Aswell as this, thumb4.jpg is only 96 bytes and thumb5 - thumbX isn't created. Repeating the process produces the same problem but I obviusly have thumb1,2 and 3 duplicated.
Does this only happen for "V for Vendetta"? Or was that just for example purposes? When saving fanart as extrathumbs or manually extracting frames its supposed to see which extrathumbs you already have then create the new ones after that. For the auto creation of extrathumbs (through the updater) it should only create the thumbs that are the difference from what you have in the folder and what number you have in settings. For example:
If you have settings set to create 10 thumbs, and already have thumb1 through thumb5, then it will only create thumb6 through thumb10 (without touching/updating the 1 through 5).
Is that not what you're seeing?
mark007 Wrote:Extrathumbs issue
I have an extrathumbs folder for 90% of my movies, but not all have extrathumbs in there. For me personally the handy checkboxes to show whether various types of art are available are great, but the extrathumbs one isn't useful to me in its current state. I would prefer it at least check is one thumb available, ie check for thumb1.jpg, or even better, show the number of thumbs, or better again have an option in settings to set the number to check for. If this was possible, I would be aiming for two thumbs for each movie, so I would set it to 2 and I would only see the tickbox where thumb1.jpg and thumb2.jpg existed. As i say, at present many of my movies have the extrathumbs folder, but most have 0 thumbs, but I would be aiming for 2 for multiplex view in xbmc.
I'll change it to check for the existence of "thumb1.jpg" instead of just the folder. I'm trying to make the check boxes as general information.... as in, if it's there, it's checked. If you want to make sure you have 2 thumbs for each movie, you can just set the # to 2 in settings and use the All Movies - Auto - Extrathumbs Only updater.
mark007 Wrote:Request
To do a crc on existing images if possible, and to show in GUI whether a certain image already exists or not so its not duplicated. Might be a lovely feature in many areas of the interface to avoid duplicates in various places. Might be a bit of work but would avoid duplication problem I had above.
I'll look into that.

As Nuno mentioned, you need to also edit Flags.xml to tell it what to look for and what image to use. Be sure you add this above the existing "DVD" tag in the xml or that will be processed first.
mfsav2 Wrote:Function Request:
can you put a flag to avoid to rewrite fields already present in the NFO?
I want to have the title in my language not all in english... but if I scrape the data it gets always overwrittes... and it does not match anymore the folder.
There are quite a few global locks in settings (title, plot, rating, etc) that will keep Ember from updating those fields in ANY movie (unless you make them manually in the movie editor) or you also have the option of locking a specific movie completely (right click -> Lock Movie) so it will be skipped during any of the updaters. Again, you can still make changes manually through the movie editor, though.

I'll try to get a new release out tonight (or tomorrow morning rather) to fix all the current bugs and add a couple new features. I have another "date night" with my wife tonight so I'll get started on it in a few hours.
- mark007 - 2009-06-08
I have only tried a few movies but so far V For Vendetta is the only one that creates these empty jpg files. Downloading all fan art for use in extrathumbs, and selecting number 4 as the main fanart image, this time created thumb4.jpg and thumb5.jpg that were 96 bytes each, with the rest of the images not downloaded. Maybe you could try to reproduce by making a dummy movie if you don't have this one. I don't get an error message etc so I can't tell whats going wrong.
Regarding auto creation of extrathumbs.. my use of extrathumbs at the moment will be solely for use in xbmc multiplex view, and I will not actually be creating thumbs from the movie itself as I don't like the quality of alot of my dvd / dvd ripped content. I am trying to create "thumbs" that are actually originating from 1920 x 1080 fanart to keep the quality high. Currently there is no way to auto populate the extrathumbs folder in this fashion without manually going through every movie and selecting all of the fanart. If this isn't a very uncommon task then maybe I could ask that there be a way in a future version to download the highest quality version of each image to the extrathumbs folder. If its uncommon to do this, no worries... just might take a while to go through all of my movies to get all the fanart downloaded
Basically my ideal media manager would let me completely fill my extrathumbs with the highest quality fanart, and if I come along a week later and hit update all, that this feature would just download those fanarts that arn't already in my extrathumbs if a crc check can achieve this. I can then at any time go in and select my top 2 extrathumbs which I will see in xbmc etc, but the rest are all there. Checking of the crc's would be great, as features like copying all fanart to the backdrops directory could also be done on a weekly / monthly basis without worrying about duplicates.
Thanks for the continued work, excellent stuff.

Perfect... solved all issues... amazing!
May I suggest a new feature?
As many newbies we got totally confused by the files in the folder.... which ones are needed for which skin
it would be great in the Settings - Movies to have some sort of "pore configured" setting for the skins (XML based so that it can be changed on the fly)
so that... depending on the skin
right sets are choosenIt should be very simple to do...
but very usefull for everyone

BUG: the Automatically Create Extrathumbs is not kept.
I click to enable it and the (leaving the Number to create empty) I click ok.
When I get back is still unchecked.
For me empty means: ALL
- m.savazzi - 2009-06-08
Feture request: for poster-fanart can you add a check "faultback on available size" so that during scrape if the desired size is not available it will get the first available one without stopping?
Feture request: is it possible to have an automatically skip if not found?
I have a lot of films and this does not allow me to update the collection overnight

nul7 apparently the title lock does not work.

Hi Nul, awesome bit of work this, hats off to you. I've just hit a bug with r263, although it could be coincidence - I upgraded about the same time I dumped a load more rips into my movies share. Anyway, there should be 352 items on the left, but it's now only showing 120 in EMM (it used to be 322 or whatever the old total was). There's one error in the log:
Quote:Title: ErrorNot sure if that's the problem, but you never know, eh?

I click to enable it and the (leaving the Number to create empty) I click ok.
When I get back is still unchecked.
For me empty means: ALL
Not BUG...
Extrathumbs are "screen shoot" to create thumbs for certains skins..
leaving number empty mean none...
If empty means "All" than should be 1 thumb per movie frame!?

For what i can read you have a permission problem for some directories
Try to enter sub-directories/read files from machine yoiu have EMM installed

Downloading all fan art for use in extrathumbs, and selecting number 4 as the main fanart image, this time created thumb4.jpg and thumb5.jpg that were 96 bytes each, with the rest of the images not downloaded. Maybe you could try to reproduce by making a dummy movie if you don't have this one. I don't get an error message etc so I can't tell whats going wrong.
Regarding auto creation of extrathumbs.. my use of extrathumbs at the moment will be solely for use in xbmc multiplex view, and I will not actually be creating thumbs from the movie itself as I don't like the quality of alot of my dvd / dvd ripped content. I am trying to create "thumbs" that are actually originating from 1920 x 1080 fanart to keep the quality high. Currently there is no way to auto populate the extrathumbs folder in this fashion without manually going through every movie and selecting all of the fanart. If this isn't a very uncommon task then maybe I could ask that there be a way in a future version to download the highest quality version of each image to the extrathumbs folder. If its uncommon to do this, no worries... just might take a while to go through all of my movies to get all the fanart downloaded
Basically my ideal media manager would let me completely fill my extrathumbs with the highest quality fanart, and if I come along a week later and hit update all, that this feature would just download those fanarts that arn't already in my extrathumbs if a crc check can achieve this. I can then at any time go in and select my top 2 extrathumbs which I will see in xbmc etc, but the rest are all there. Checking of the crc's would be great, as features like copying all fanart to the backdrops directory could also be done on a weekly / monthly basis without worrying about duplicates.
Thanks for the continued work, excellent stuff.
Hmm.... I'll play with it some tonight to see if I can figure out what's going on.
mfsav2 Wrote:Perfect... solved all issues... amazing!
May I suggest a new feature?
As many newbies we got totally confused by the files in the folder.... which ones are needed for which skin
it would be great in the Settings - Movies to have some sort of "pore configured" setting for the skins (XML based so that it can be changed on the fly)
so that... depending on the skin
It should be very simple to do...
but very usefull for everyone
Well, that's a little difficult because no files are needed. lol They're all optional. And the file types are selectable for personal preference and program compatibility, not skin compatibility.
The extrathumbs folder is really the only thing that is skin specific as I believe Aeon is the only skin utilizing these files.

As Nuno mentioned, this is not a bug. If you don't enter a value for the # of thumbs to create, how is it to know how many you want? What does "ALL" mean to the frame extractor? lol So, if you leave it blank or 0 it unchecks itself.
mfsav2 Wrote:Feture request: for poster-fanart can you add a check "faultback on available size" so that during scrape if the desired size is not available it will get the first available one without stopping?
Feture request: is it possible to have an automatically skip if not found?
I have a lot of films and this does not allow me to update the collection overnight

It should already do this. You select the preferred image size you want to use in settings.
If you use an auto type updater then if the preferred size is not found it will get the first one it can, looking in order of size from largest to smallest.
If you use an ask type updater it will ask you which poster you want to use.
mfsav2 Wrote:nul7 apparently the title lock does not work.
this is the nfo before scraping:
<Movie>
<title>A.I. Intelligenza artificiale</title>
</movie>
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/
and this is after scrape
...snip...
as you can see the title was over written even if the flag Global Lock - Lock Title was enabled
Is it a bug or I did something wrong?
It's because the nfo file is "non-conforming" as far as Ember is concerned. I don't have support for nfos with URLs at the end, so it sees this as a non-compatible nfo, reads the IMDB ID to use for scraping, then downloads the new information. Since the nfo is considered "non-conforming" the title does not exist to Ember and is overwritten. Hope that makes sense.

Hehe... that's true but from this posts Aeon-specific meta-media information index (with Pictures) it appears that there are some files that Aeon requires and from here XBMC / Videos the information are quite confusing.
In one case are TBN, in the other are JPG; in one case is is movie in the other is <movie>...
That;s why I was suggesting it.

Understood... and fine
I thought they were a different thing...

Ok I will try it, I was using an ASK.

This is terrible. (for me).
I manage my video library with another program and want to export just the title and the imdb link.
The specification of the NFO is taken from XBMC documentation Video nfo files containing an URL where it explains that the info already present in the NFO are not scraped and, if the url is present the other ones are taken from the ERL.
Why you consider it non conformig?
How can I make it conforming?
