mfsav2 Wrote: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.

mfsav2 Wrote:Ok I will try it, I was using an ASK.

mfsav2 Wrote: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?




How can I make it

nul7 Wrote:What other program do you use to export these nfo files? Is it possible to have the program export title and imdb id elements instead of a title element and imdb url text? If you did that, it would work just fine, title lock and all.

EDIT: Actually... When an nfo is detected as non-conforming I can have it load the nfo as text and look for a url and check the rest for nfo-type items.... if it passes, convert the url to an element, remove the url, save the resulting file, then recheck it for conformance. If you make a feature request on the google code page for this I'll work on it.

mfsav2 Wrote:I think both options are good. I will put the feature request in.

Which field will you use for the IMDB reference? and how you want it? (full url or just the last part)

nul7 Wrote:I'm not sure I understand your question. What I meant was that if you could get the other program to export like the following, it would work fine in Ember:

Code:

<movie>
     <title>Some Movie Title</title>
     <id>tt000000</id>
</movie>

OR I could add some extra code to read the url from your existing nfos and convert it to the above format.

There are current 76 pages on this one and all I want to know is, if I have infos and jpgs already for my movies will this app be able to work with them. I like the clean looking interface so would like to move over to it.

Sorry if its been asked in this uber mammoth thread before.

mfsav2 Wrote:I will change the export function to match the format. is ID only for them IMDB or it has other meanings? where can I find the specification


It is good if you modify Ember as you proposed anyway.

blaize Wrote:When scanning for new content, the new movies are added to XBMC library nicely, except for the folder.jpg
wallpaper and all the info works fine, but the folder.jpg i have to manually browse for.
(The files (avi, nfo, jpg) are on an external HD)

anyone else has this problem and a possible solution?
thanks.

Code:

Changes in r257:
Feature: When proper nfo is not found or is non-conforming and does not contain IMDB ID, look for any other nfo in the folder and try to get IMDB from them.

I right now tested this with one movie and it didnt work here.
I have an folder called AAA with an mkv inside also called AAA.mkv and an nfo called BBB.nfo where an ttxxxxxx is inside but EMM ignore this file. The url inside this nfo point to http://www.imdb.de but i thing this was not important as you search only for tt......


Do i have to change something inside my settings ?

Nuno Wrote:Hi,
Nul will shoot me because of this but I will do it anyway…



Using the words from bramblepants
To all EMM user and friends:

If you are a good English writer, I ask you to help out EMM and do some Documentation (Helps) for EMM.
I know nul will do it sometime, but he have a lot of work fixing and improving EMM, and I’m sure his time is not enough for everything.
We (EMM user and friends) should give back a little of what he receive from him.
“Why you don’t do it yourself?”
I would if I was a good English writer . I’m not, so I try to help patching and adding/subjection new functionalities.
I think (but nul can/will confirm) that Documentation maybe done in rtf/doc or HTML (easy to implement inside EMM)
I apologize if I’m abusing… but EMM is a great tool, and nul have done a Great job with it, just want give back some, and help this Nice tool to be even better.

PS: This is not one time work.. is a continued work where all EMM community can help

AnalogKid Wrote:Hey Nul,

If you get a chance... would you mind taking a look at this thread... particularly from page 3 onwards...

http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49801

would love to get your input into the ideas going on here... (It's about rationalising the messy situation with artwork naming and all the possibilities that are possible today).

Ramshackles Wrote:I really love this app over the others, still curious about a few things:

1. Ability to change how the app handles multi-part .iso files (300, lord of the rings etc), since XBMC doesnt support stacking iso files, any chance of both files showing up in your app? That way I could name one part 1 and the other part 2 so it would be showing up nicely in library view

2. Ability to scrape from moviedb instead of imdb? for instance, tiesto has a dvd on moviedb but none exist on imdb and i'd love the info.

AnalogKid Wrote:If you need help with a manual / documentation... I'm happy to contribute sections.
Of course, I'm more happy to explain aspects that I personally user, but I'm reasonably capable of explaining concepts in plain English.

Give me a shout if you need help.

P.S.
Regarding the artwork naming issues ox XBMC... there's a growing number of us want to reign it in... it's getting out of hand on a grand scale.
The problem you face is that until it's enforced system wide... folks will always complain and ask for this convention or that convention.

Once it's nailed down, and implemented properly, we can say to users.. THIS is how it works, and this is how you port your old convention to the new.
I have no doubt there will be a few screams, but I am convinced it needs to be done!
