The only one you need is movie.tbn

[olympia]

Can someone explain to me why every movie I scrape with ember has 7 images for each movie that are identical?

folder.jpg, movie.jpg, poster.jpg, <Movie title>.jpg, movie.tbn, poster.tbn, and <Move title>.tbn are all IDENTICAL. I dont understand the need for this redundancy at all.

I'm assuming XBMC looks for different files for different uses, but are duplicate .tbn and .jpg needed? I guess I don't really understand what each of these files are for and while they are all needed. Any help?

EDIT: I noticed now that my settings show that I have multiple boxes checked for "Poster"...can someone tell me what the minimum options I should check? Or do I only need 1 (and will anyone work?)

Or just leave it as it was by default.
Default settings are only saving the minimum.

But probably you wanted to be smarter and checked all...

I am always amazed by this behaviour. People don't know what they are doing, but they check every checkbox they find because the more can only be better.

I actually got the setup from a friend...but I understand it now and fixed it. After seeing a fresh install, I guess the explanation by Ember of the naming structure could be better explained. But none the less, it's all sorted out now. Thanks everyone!

First you need to understand what files XBMC can import. I guess it's not Ember's task. You can study this on XBMC wiki pages:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Imp...rt_Library

and/or by searcing on the forums:

Then, there are wiki pages to explain what Ember supports:

Does anybody know if the work on Ember will be resumed or will i be better off looking for a replacement? Sorry if this has been answered earlier in the thread but it's MASSIVE!

People here can say what they want, but you're best off drawing your own conclusions based on the devs' latest status update: http://embermm.com/news/15

How do I enable addons? Specifically the HTML exporter. I've downloaded it and it shows it installed but it doesn't seem to show up anywhere. Tried to restart the program but no luck.

Thanks

Just out of curiosuty - are backdrop broken for anyone else? Every time I go to scrape it gives a "no fan art found" tonight.

Same here. I even checked themoviedb.org and there is files to support my request. Might just be one of those bugs for tonight that needs to work its self out in the morning.

In case EMM uses themoviedb's API to retrieve info, it could be a caching problem.

Otherwise EMM might not recognize the uploaded backdrops as pictures (something with content headers in the uploaded image).


But, for over a week ive got problems retrieving posters and fanart for Despicable Me, EMM only returns 1 poster, while themoviedb lists many, so i dont think its a caching issue.

Yeah I was trying grab
Scott Pilgram vs the world

and it came up with nothing several times. Heck it barely seemed to grab the plot and title. I went to themoviedb.org and well they 5 fanarts and a thumb image.

Same over here till yesterday.
Maybe it was a db-problem.

For those who are interested, I have uploaded a scraper module that is based on the original scraper but that works with the new IMDB site changes (without the Full Cast work-around). It should also work for scraping only specific types of information (Data only, etc.)
I have also tweaked the single-scraper code to improve the performance.

Look for it in the Download Add-Ons -> Modules section of Ember - should be easy to spot :-)

Let me know if there are any issues with it and I will try to solve them.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I haven't used Ember in quite awhile but my movie colleciton has been steadily growing. Today I needed to update so that I could show a friend some of the awesome stuff that XBMC could do and my database was out of date and Ember broken. It took some work to figure it all out and find your addon but it's now back to working well, I really appreciate your effort!!

sorry if this question been asked before...

how come even after i've scraped a tv show i still have to manually refresh it in xbmc for the poster and fanart to show up

is there a trick to this or something?
