Paybac Wrote: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
I had the same problem and the fix is to go into setting and uncheck Ignore (%YEAR%) where year is 4 digits. This seemed to help fix my problem there are still 1 or 2 issues around this but it seemed to fix most of my problems
.Thanks

or is this only my problem?

No its not just yours. I can't speak for fekker, but it scans your set folders you have set in preferences each time just in case you add more.

I would definitely raise my hand in favor of some method of keeping a list of all the shows that have been previously scanned, then maybe having it run some kind of subroutine that checks for new/changed stuff since the last time.

I think the next version speed increase makes this a mute point, but i'll try some other options and revisit this topic after that release is out.

When is the next version!
I want, i want, i want it now!
And I want a golden goose

I've got a few things to sort out, but most of the code is complete.
I'm swapping out my dev box as the old one was going south fast, so it'll take me abit to get everything moved over and VS up and running..
I'm shooting for Sunday, i'm sure there will be a few patches after the initial release, with music being new and all.
I've not answered a few posts here, but don't worry, i'll go back through them after I get the computer all sorted out.

Looking foreward to new release. I just want to say that its because of this app I decided to use xbmc as my media app over another one I have been using for the last 3 years.
Thanks fekker for the superb work. It is most appriciated
fekker, can you provide any info to help track this down? - JohnWPB - 2009-03-07
@ fekker:
Yuck, I know building a new Dev machine can be a pain! Getting all the dependencies, dll's and such in place...
When you get a chance, can you please check and see what could be causing this? If it's not MIP, and is a problem with the API on TMDB, I can start posting there for a solution.
I just added fanart for the movie "Treasure Island" and it is not showing up when MIP scrapes TMDB. I have seen this with quite a few movies here, as well as someone else commenting it is happening to them. I have been taking the time to upload the fanart to TMDB, make sure the IMDB# is there, correct information and such, but it is almost pointless, as they are not being imported into MIP for some reason.
If there are a few that I know of, God only knows how many more fanarts are actually available, that MIP is just not seeing for some reason.
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.

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?

Now the question is if this is a problem I fixed in the next version, or a cache issue. My guess would be that it's a cache issue with the tmdb xml file.
Please check
C:\Program Files\movieinfoplus\xml\tmdbv2\tmdb6646.xml
and
C:\Program Files\movieinfoplus\xml\tmdbv2\tt0043067.xml

I can tell ya that in the code, if your working online, and it can communicate with tmdb servers, it's downloading and refreshing that information each time you display a movie.

let's see what's in those xmls that you have
- JohnWPB - 2009-03-08
The first movie has been moved to the MediaPC already (I do the ripping on this box, and then transfer them over), I do have the second one still on this machnie. Here is what is in the XML file:
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<results for="tt0043067" xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<opensearch:Query searchTerms="tt0043067"/>
<opensearch:totalResults>0</opensearch:totalResults>
<moviematches>
<movie>Your query didn't return any results.</movie>
</moviematches>
</results>
It's shows above "No Results", but the movie does exist on TMDB, and has both the cover as well as fanart + I added the IMDB# myself to the movie a couple days ago.
The next version - cowboyzx6 - 2009-03-08
I understand that you are shooting to release a new version of MIP very soon. I am wondering if one of the additions will be an update to allow us to specify where all the MIP downloaded data gets saved (and if not, maybe you can point me to a better way of doing things
)Almost all of my DVD collection is stored in the format:
\\server\Movies\Movie1\video_ts\*
\\server\Movies\Movie2\video_ts\*
\\server\Movies\Movie3\video_ts\*
When I use MIP to scan, it puts all the downloaded data into:
\\server\Movies\MovieX
When I go into XBMC, it doesn't recognize any of the data in the \\server\Movies\Moviex directory and so then tries and scrape on its own.
My preference would be to keep all the data that MIP downloads inside the VIDEO_TS folders. This is because some PC players will only play the video if it is inside a VIDEO_TS folder. Of course, I can move all the MIP downloaded data into the VIDEO_TS manually (will be a pain in the ass considering I have about 500 movies). But I thought I would inquire as to whether this will be a possibility in the upcoming release first.
Another option is to try and tell XBMC to look for the data in the \\server\Movies\Moviex directory before it tries a scrape. But I am not aware of a way to set this up
Hopefully that wasn't too confusing of a question?
- fekker - 2009-03-08
I'll look into the VIDEO_TS subfolders and see what's up, they should work with the images, there was some problems with the .nfo before, i'll recheck those and the source of xbmc to see what the best way to fix the problem is.
- JohnWPB - 2009-03-08
@ fekker: I followed the suggestions you sent me in the PM and it did fix the fanart problem I was having
