Just copied the folder to a Windows 7 machine and it worked fine there.

I had the same problem on Vista - take a look at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116941&pid=1116916#pid1116916 for my fix.

Thank you

I had a lot of shows being picked up as "The Other One" despite already being scraped by Ember, i eventually pegged it down as not having the correct lot of tbn, jpg and/or nfo so i pretty much ticked all the boxes to create a dogs breakfast of files to satisfy xbmc. It would be nice if ember could have presets that could set the nfo, jpg and tbn settings just how XBMC/whatever media center is being used likes it (presuming anyone really knows for XBMC, i've read the docs and still have a hard time figuring out what XBMC really wants)

That is actually what I'm working on, simplifying the process so that a user can pick what Media center they are using so that Ember can basically format things according to what Media center is picked, rather than trying to guess and figure out the best way to format things manually.

Hopefully once I've finished with my reworking this problem will become moot, I'm doing a lot under the hood type work to improve and streamline Ember so that its faster, more stable and easier to update and develop for.

Love the stated approach so far - fix the foundation and streamline to enable easier updates in the future. Also love the thinking to use the XBMC scrapers and making the settings modular so as to help assist with setup for various media centers.

One thing I would also recommend while you are in 'cleanup' mode is the ensure consistent functionality between the TV and movie sections, such as filtering, scrape/rescrape options, etc. There are quite a few functions in the movies section that just doesn't exist for TV. I would guess this is due to lack of modularity in the programing originally. I'm guess you are looking at this already, but wanted to see hear your thoughts on this as well.

1) Remove files and from database does not appear to be working properly. Only deletes some files, but not the actual movie folder.

2) When I manually add trailers by copy&pasting them into the folder, EMM does not permanently detect them. I can "reload" the movie and then the trailer tick is there, but upon next re-start it is gone again. This is fixable by deleting the database file and then reloading all movies. Doing this fixes the issue and the "tick" is permanently there.

I have my sources mapped as network drives. I couldn't get my soureces to work like \\tower\Movies either so mine now looks like this W:\ seemed kinda odd, but it was the only way to get my movies into ember.

I also used to have that same problem. I had to map my network drives to have my media recognized in EMM.
