Hopefully in 12-14 hours. We are in the process of final tuning. Cross the fingers!

If you're talking about in the studio tag, then no.... studio tag support has been completely removed from Ember as it's no longer needed.

EDIT: And just FYI, new release will come tomorrow instead of today. Sorry for the delay, but we want to make sure that everything is ok before release and there are a ton of things to test and tweak..... we just need the extra time. If anyone who builds from SVN could give some feedback on any bugs found, that would help as well.

Sounds good and I'm glad you decided to incorporate a database scheme for the app.....Looking forward to it...

By the way, will it be able to import the XBMC video database? Might be a good way to bring over alot more users that currently are not using any app for management...

I have over 1000 Movies all Nfo´s have MPAA Rating Description.
Fsk 12 , FSK 16 ....
When i Edit the Movie then Lost Ember this MPAA Rating.
And the Nfo has no string with mpaa

When i make a Custom Update works Ember perfect

I've built r562. It's working pretty good until now. But after you've updated a movie the checkmark for "extrathumbs" is gone. So you don't know if there already are extrathumbs or not.
And somehow the prefered postersize isn't selected for every movie (if it's available of course Wink ), but maybe that was my fault.
Some more obvious things are (which needs the new extras package I think):
- language.xml is missing when starting
- media flags not showing

And what is the <path></path> in the .nfo for? Any way to disable this? Couldn't find the code for it yet ^^

Some bugs that have been there around 40 revs ago are gone and it's working like a charm now.
Thanks again for this great app! Smile

Fixed in SVN r566
Also there is a XML directory in SVN with language and flags xml (for SVN testing porposes only-will be removed from SVN after next release)
Copy language.xml to bin\ and flags.xml to images\flags\

EDIT: you have to delete Media.emm before running for the first time r566 (DB layout have changed)

Could someone post a link or something that might show us noobs how to build from SVN? Just like living on the edge!Laugh

Trailer Sites
I was thinking about this some more, and I realized I left out one of the most important sites, especially in the XBMC world... So to update the list one more time..

themoviedb.org (very popular with XBMC crowd)
Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/movie-trailers)
Moviefone (movies.aol.com/trailers/main)
Yahoo (movies.yahoo.com/trailers/)
trailerspy.com
traileraddict.com

This is the first time for me using SVN for a app, not a skin. Is there a build file I need to click on?Eek

The long and short of it:

Tools You'll Need:
SVN Client (TortoiseSVN, VisualSVN, RapidSVN, etc)
Visual Studio ($$$$) or Visual Basic Express (Free from Microsoft.com)

1> Download source code with SVN client
2> Open "Ember Media Manager.vbproj" in a text editor and remove "<PreBuildEvent>call "$(SolutionDir)svnrev.bat"</PreBuildEvent>".... its near the bottom of the file. (this is just a call to a batch file I use to grab the SVN version and make it the program version)
3> Double click "Ember Media Manager.vbproj" to open the project in your chosen development IDE
4> Build.

TMDB is already supported (they supply the YouTube link Ember uses to download the trailer). Wink

We'll be exploring more trailer options in the future, but the next release will only support TMDB/Youtube and IMDB, unfortunately.
