Of course, that is if MIP doesn't support DVD order.
Man that app rocks. Thanks for sharing it. I normally have to manually update everything and well its annoying, but now its just a few clicks.

digitalhigh Wrote:Okay fekker, first suggestion for the media info...
One...disable the media images tab if no media images are found? This can save me a little time, as I'll be adding everything manually.
Two...maybe allow for a way to turn media images on/off? Or have it so I can only work on the media images? Some way so that I can do regular movies one way, and then focus on the media images without having to wait for it to find posters and everything else...
Three...it seems to be hanging when I try to download an insert or inlay image...I get this error:
Code:Error during thumbnail generation for Media Image.System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory.
at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(String filename, Boolean useEmbeddedColorManagement)
at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(String filename)
at movieinfoplus.maincollection.displayAndLoadMITThumbs(String folderPath, FlowLayoutPanel&whichflip)
Edit:
Also looks like for some TV shows, it's not sorting the images by season properly. For the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Season 1 displays covers/cd's for all seasons, and the rest of the seasons have no images.
One suggestion I have is that you make a right-click menu that displays an option as to what filename to save an image under. I've seen several movies now where there are two front images but one is actually the inlay. It would be sweet to just rightclick and then pick inlay from a dropdown menu and bam...there it is.
There's an option to allow selection for what to name the image, check under settings in the toolbar menu.
i'll isolate the error for inlays and inserts, i know what it is. The tv show will take some more tweaking to get sorted out, i'll see what can be done to revamp the searches.
I have to add in all the gui options yet for selection of what, how many, etc, of media images, good reminder to do so, i'll see about a flag to turn it off similar to allow icon selection (which does work, but is global)

natethomas Wrote:I've got a question that may have been answered before, but are there currently any plans to support DVD Order, or is DVD Order already supported? For the most part, this isn't a huge issue. I currently have two shows, Futurama and Andy Richter Controls the Universe, where the DVD Order is drastically different than the aired order. I'd love to be able to play with these shows in MIP, but if I can't use DVD Order then I'm not sure whether I could do anything with them.
i pull data based on what the file is named, i'm not really sure if this is working they way it's expected to with dvd order.
anyone care to shed some light on that aspect of things, anything i'm missing?

I'll have to check that app out, I've been using TVRename, I really like the command line functions to be able to run in the background and scan my "new stuff" folder. It renames and moves the files to it's show's folder for me. But I'll check this one out to see if it's any better.

I'm pretty sure that TVDB will show you either the aired order (episodes in the order they were aired), or the DVD Order, which is the order they'd appear on the DVD you'd buy at the store. A lot of the time, these orders are different.
I think he's wondering how it scrapes the shows, whether it's by the episode name, or if it uses the episode number, and if so, if that would affect the names of his shows...

I think TVRename may have my Renamer beat. I'll check it out. theRenamer has a fetch folder you can set so that it automagically renames the shows, but the "move to show folder" option is still in the works. I JUST had this conversation with the author about how sweet it would be to have an app that moves them too...

It's definately not as user friendly, but once you figure out what to do where and get it all set up, you can just run it from a batch command in windows tasks. If I could just get it to trigger MIP to find all the tv show info, and then trigger XBMC to update the library, I'd truly have a completly automatic process, after saving the .nzb file....

I had been thinking about music, and the slow load times, so i've reworked that area. After the initial scan, it's way faster. If a track is modified or moved, it's rescanned automatically, if it's not it loads the data based on the first scan info. The result, way faster reload times after the first scan of the data.

First off i'm enjoying this program and have got it pretty much sorted.
I have run into one problem which is probably just me cause of the way some of my files are named. Nothing to do with MiP
What happens is MiP throws up an error saying that "movietitle.tbn already exists" when i cilck on one of my movies. This is after i have run autopilot by the way.
I figured out that it was all my movie files that were named either "movietitle (2008)" or "Movietitle - Sequel Name". What MiP does is it creates the nfo,fanart and tbn with a space in it like this "movietitle .tbn" or "movietitle -fanart"
It will usually show the fanart but not the tbn.
In turn, then all these particular files dont get read by XBMC.
Quick fix for me, either i get rid of the space between movietitle and the year or just delete the year all together. For the movies with sequels i just removed the - .
Anyway its just me rambling.
Top Job on this project

Any chance of having MIP run as a batch command? Like look for and grab all nfos and episode images like it does in the gui version? Its not as pretty as loading up the gui, but for me its nearly to the point where I do a couple episodes a week.
Of course for movies it would be different unless of course your doing command line for autopilot.

Sorta, the idea behind monitor is to run in the system tray and monitor folders for any new tv shows and add them if they are new. I haven't had any time to focus on that part and get it working yet though. Tv shows where created to run without a gui, and the gui was added on top of that, so it's easy for those. Movies is a little more complicated, so the first rev will just do tv shows.
I'm not sure if it will make it into next weeks release, i've got alot of little things to wrap up to get it out, but do add a feature request, it's on my own wishlist as well.

No rush fekker. Just a request and a thought.
You have at least two users that are interested when your ready to let us play with it.

JohnWPB Wrote:I didn't create the "Down Periscope" movie, it was in there already, I just added the fanart in this case and verified that the IMDB number was there. As for the other movies I created, I have entered the IMDB# in for EVERY one of them, as I figured that was how MIP was verifying the movie, and not just on title alone. I have also made sure that the IMDB number for others that MIP was not finding was correctly entered as well.
dbone1026 Wrote:I added fanart for a few movies that were already on TMDB as well as created new movies/fanart. MIP picked up the fanart for the already created movies right away but did not pick up the fanart for the new movies I created on TMDB. I tested on another movie scraper and the new movies got pulled in right away, so don't know if there is a delay with MIP?
@fekker: seems ya missed these couple of posts... ANy idea what could be causing it? It its due to the way that TMDB add's new items, or a delay in adding, I can post over in that forum. I'm just trying to narrow down where the glitch is coming from....

Hi fekker,
Any idea when there will be a new release with the bug fixes?
Im mainly looking for that fix for the title being inserted into the nfo as the filename not the IMDB movie name

So the patch file for the music tests were updated w/ this modification?
