RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - MeMeMe - 2012-05-31

I am interested in using Ember but dont have my movies in a folder of their own. I have lots of content and the process would be daunting to do by hand.
Check file2folder here: http://code.google.com/p/file2foldergui/downloads/list
When you run it, you'll pick a folder. It will then look at all the files in the folder, and for each one, create a folder and move the file into it.
The downside - if you have multiple files reloating to a single movie (like movie-cd1, movie-cd2, movie-srr) I think it creates a separate folder for each of them.
But it still dramatically reduces the amount of work to do for most people.You might just have a few to clean up and correct like that.

===========================================================================================
I have tried downloading the latest version and running from my desktop, disabling the scrapers and then adding a known good folder and it still does exactly the same thing - is there any further debugging I can see to see if it's my machine (running Vista) or library or is it a known bug. Any existing folder in my primary install can be scanned as normal.
Sorted it - looks like it's using an odd date format when adding a new folder.
If you open the Media.emm in a SQLite browser the LastScan of most files is in the format of "31/05/2012 21:26:51"
However for the newly added folder the LastScan value is "5/31/2012 9:30:05 PM" (note the day and month being back to front and the use of the 12 hour clock).
Running the query
update sources set LastScan = "01/01/2012 21:00:00" WHERE ID = 8
Got it working again
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - sirreef - 2012-06-01
Perhaps I'm confused - but Ember keeps writing over my predownloaded folder.jpg/fanart.jpg.
I ask it to scrape a movie and it deletes the art.
Please help.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - crimsonfury - 2012-06-03
Keeps freezing on me! I want to rescrape my whole movie section and it starts but after the 1st or 2nd one it freezes and has to be hard closed... What am I doing wrong? I just .nfo's and artwork for all of my movies so xbmc doesn't need to add any.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - rocks911 - 2012-06-05
Having trouble.
I am using v2421_x86 on my W7 64 bit machine.
I first created folders for each movie (I had them all in just a couple of folders) which took no time at all.
I then scraped my 600 movies. Darn few were successfully scraped, I mean like twenty or so.
I made no adjustments to the default scraper settings, just used auto. Dont know why so few were successful.
Any thoughts?

I got the same thing. When i turned off notifications everything went fine.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - rocks911 - 2012-06-05
Notifications?
Unfortunately the same is happening for me, cant find notifications though, in settings?
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - ciris - 2012-06-05
Settings and then go to modules.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - rocks911 - 2012-06-05
Nevermind, found it.
Doesnt lock up now, but also doesnt return many results.
Is there a program that works better, or is this cutting edge?
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - ciris - 2012-06-05
If you don't get many results it is probably a settings issue. Ember find everything here. Did you named your files correctly?
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - rocks911 - 2012-06-05
I have used a pretty typical naming convention.
For example: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)
Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (2008)
Clerks 2 (2006)
with both the movie and the folder having the same name.
Out of 538 movies 10 are tagged.
Does it matter what format they are in? I have MKV, AVI, and others, but really that doesnt seem to matter. Not sure what is going on.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - ciris - 2012-06-05
Did you make sure you chose for recursive scanning?
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - rocks911 - 2012-06-05
I tried using Ember portable 1.2.2385, couldnt even successfully add a source. I specified the path but the OK button never illuminated.
Six hours later, no joy.
Try another day.
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes I chose recursive scanning.
I followed this tutorial:http://www.howtogeek.com/61976/how-to-use-ember-media-manager-to-whip-your-media-collection-into-shape/
This is how these things seem to go, I think its the W7 64 bit machine, I have nothing but trouble with it getting along with other programs.
Thanks Chris for taking the time, I really appreciate the kindness of strangers
