However I have about 600 movies in my library most of which are associated with yahoo trailers that cannot play without endless buffering.

I would like to do a partial scrape just for the trailers. I am using a mysql database and all of my movies have the nfo's generated along with the local artwork. If I do a full library rescrape with the new imdb scraper, ignoring the local information, trailers will update but I will also lose all the artwork that I had previously changed.

Can ember go through the nfo's and update just the trailer links so that I can do a library refresh from the nfo's? or better yet can it update the library itself with the new trailers from tmdb?

Thanks

Yes...

In XBMC you can export all scraped informations (use the "export to separate files" mode), covers and fanarts to your local movie folders. Then you can import everything in and change/scrape only the trailers. Then rescan/rebuild the database in XBMC. But this works only if each movie in its own folder.

Thanks Dan,

But I think you misunderstood my question. I have done the export/import cycle before. The problem with that is when exporting, xbmc automatically creates the nfo file with the streaming trailer link. And when you import those back into the library, the trailer link comes from the nfo file, it doesn't get rescraped.

My question was whether ember could modify the nfo's to change only the trailer links.

Or an easier way would be if ember could directly update the database like xbne but in an automated fashion. I am not sure if ember is able to do that or not.

Thanks

It turns out that you can directly update mySQL dbs! I thought the XBMC Controller module was broken altogether because I couldn't even get it to work on a local SQLite db. After you said it does wok on those, I uninstalled EMM and did a fresh install. It then worked on a local SQLite db, but even better it now also works on my central mySQL db! I turned on notifications and and changed the plot of one of my existing movies to "TEST". When I saved it in EMM, I got a notification on XBMC and when I went into the movie info for that movie the plot read "TEST". I did the same to put the correct plot back and again it worked. I know it used to not work on mySQL dbs, but maybe recent XBMC changes somehow fixed that.


This is a huge finding for me as I sorely missed this feature.

Thanks

Watch your github. I have make 3 requests.

Edit:
One thing I forget: The labeling of the "Supported Sites" in the "scraper setup / trailer" is reversed (frmMediaSettingsHolder.vb).

Thanks Dan, and thanks for updating things, hopefully now I've got a better grip on things I can continue working and fixing bugs and improving Ember, and the more contributing the better, I'm but just one man

IMDB is disabled.

If is correct asking here, i request the possibility to not store links to images of the actors in the info file. I have already disable retrieving actor's images in the settings, but the creation of links continues.

Well I do have the project site that can keep track of all requests in a more formal manner. That way it can be tracked and associated with a release.

Ember version 1.3.0.4 or my "share-online"-version?

Your version 1.3.0.4 and github are the same state?
