krypt2nite Wrote:Woah mfsav2 you're looking to deep in to this. Everything you have said I already understand. I never originally had issues with the specialty 576p detection either. I originally was only posting about the 720p issues.

"I replied before reading this post. Some of the 720p (528, 544) and all of the 576 are NOT HD formats and are even NON standards.
They have been croped and the black bars to bring them to standard frame size has been removed."
- Really? I stated this already.

Again I work for a huge communications company and my main duty here is to work on the MPEG4 encoding for our HD service. I know these are not standard resolutions but I think you miss the point of a HTPC and the digital age we find ourselves in. Me and tons of other gents who have utilized HTPC to display their digital media on a tv have never used "Standards" We maximize the quality and size of the movie while maintaining the OAR. Your usage of standard in relation to abunch of encoded digital age videos is kind of strange actually.

Edit:
Nice work Nul the current code looks great. Should pretty much handle everyones different movie types.

diemos Wrote:Hey Nul7, quick and amazing updates(can't wait till TV section works) but before that, I was wondering, why not add this as a feature -- I have my whole movie library in one folder, but when i download something, i usually get 2 of same movies(because it thinks *.dat file is a movie too) anyways, to make the story short, can we have an option to just remove a movie from database, without actually deleting the movie from Harddrive? (perhaps we can have another menu for "removed" movies(where you can select and unselect removed movies from library) or at least keep it removed for a day or whatever. Just an idea.

Also, I mentioned earlier if you can add for the xbox users that 60% quality option, where you can select the quality you save the fanart/posters. (same way as MIP does it.

What do you think? Thanks.

RW2112 Wrote:First off, I have completely deleted the folder. not selectively deleted files. I however, created the new one in the same parent folder as the old. Will try moving to another drive completely to see if this solves the issues.

Second, I am loading EMM directly from the exe file, no shortcut.


EDIT: Switching to another drive solved the problem. EMM is back to working properly. Thanks for the help!

BTW, want to apologize for my earlier comment, was having a bad day and under more than normal stress. I just took it wrong and for that I am sorry.

nul7 Wrote:Glad it's finally working for you again, though! Still curious as to what the actual problem with it was. If you ever find out what was going on, I'd love to get an update on that... or just blame it on Microsoft. lol

andacin Wrote:Hey nul7 - is there a way currently to get EMM to rename the actual movie files to the name of the movie (or the folder)? I ask because my downloader puts the movies into a folder based on the name of the movie and the year, but the actual movie files themselves are named based on scene naming conventions. Its a feature I used in MIP to automatically rename the movie file based on the name - would be nice to use it with emm

I was a big fan of billyad's MC as well.
One thing that MC supported in later versions was downloading Actor/Artist thumbnails to a local share.
Do you think that this might be something that you may add support for as well?

Cheers - again a great program!

Ayla Wrote:nul7,

I have enabled the "Use Extrathumb if no Fanart Found".

I just scraped 2 new movies that had fanart available online but EMM still used the Extrathumb.

I had to Edit Movie and manually set the Fanart from the online source.

A bug maybe?

nul7 Wrote:Sure, we can do that. Will XBMC read from a local file?
