seems that MCM also stores it in the wrong location.
perhaps a change from darma to eden ?
i also reported it on the MCM forum,
let's see who can fix it first

i haven't had time to play around too much, but are there additional templates for exporting? and can you export to HTML?

Yes, I found a couple knocking about online. Sadly some of the "tags" that were listed as available for creating templates didn't work in the previous version. I reported the ones that didn't work (there was a list) but the site is now gone and I can't remember exactly what wasn't functioning (though the video resolution tag springs to mind as one that didn't).

@bodrick, are you able to figure out what tags are supported from the code?

The obvious ones are things like $MOVIENAME, $YEAR, $POSTER_FILE, etc.

My fave template is an amazing piece of work and is called "Move Homepage v1.30".
Demo: http://miso.be/fancy/index.html

EDIT: Just noticed there appear to be problems with the script selecting the correct cover/fanart *at times*.

Downloadable from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7856680/Uploads/...gev130.zip

The only downside of this template is that it take a *longggggg* time to preview, save, and upload!

Is it possible to scrape TV shows with EMM yet?
I hate not being able to click the Scrape TV Shows button.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm having some issues with the experimental version of Ember. When scraping images, it's not giving me the option to download the original, full resolution images. When using Ember 1.3.0.2, I am able download the original, full resolution images. I've attached a couple screenshots as examples.

Just click on the show and select (Re)scrape works for me.

@KilgoreTrout: Have you checked the result? (The image in the folder after scraping)
Should be the same I think its just that EMber doesnt load the full images anymore so scraping is faster but the selected image should still be at max resolution.

Or did it just not let you select that image?

Thanks for the response TeKo,

It won't let me select the original image. I can download the medium version, but the original is greyed out and not selectable (It may not be totally clear in the screenshots I posted, but if you look closely, you can see the greyed out original option). This happens with all of my movie files. This only happens when I manually download images by selecting (re)scrape. When I let it automatically download images, it will select the original because I have it set that way in the settings.

I have also checked the image in the folder and it is the same low res one.

Is the experimental version available as and exe for windows ?

I have checked the project page "files" tab ...
http://ember.purplepig.net/projects/embermm/files

I seem to be running round in circles trying to find it !

Thanks.

It's provided inside a 7zip file (.7z). You need to unzip it with 7zip to get the standalone exe

I was sooo close. I downloaded the .7z file but winzip wouldnt unzip it so I gave in with that idea. I'll try 7zip now thanks

@bodrick

Using 1.3.0.2 here.

I've just noticed that many of my NFO files have a trailer node that has a full path to the local trailer (e.g. M:\movie folder\movie name-trailer.mov). Others I've noticed point to rtmp streams on imdb. My movie collection has been scraped with various editions of Ember over the years and not just 1.3.0.2.

- I have trailer ticked under "Scrapers > Data" (global options).
- I'm using native scrapers for data and images/trailers.
- Trailer is *NOT* ticked under data and images/trailers (modules options).

I guess I have three problems/questions:

1) How to prevent use of internet stream trailers completely but keep local trailer support?

2) How to force the use of the local trailer rather than an internet stream? Currently when I re-scrape a movie the trailer field is populated with an imdb rtmp stream, rather than a path to the local trailer. It seems the global setting (trailer ticked) overrides the module setting (trailer unticked) rather than the module setting taking presedence lower down.

3) How to enable use of local trailers, but with a relative path (e.g. movie name-trailer.mov and not M:\...... ; what happens if the NAS box is mapped with a different drive letter elsewhere?. Or is this not possible as XBMC will read the NFO and require a full trailer path only?

Sorry for so many questions. Where is your Paypal donation link?

I just checked with 1.3.0.2 and I have the field 100% using default scraper btw.

Ok now with default, i had enabled imdb olympia.

[phatmack]

I scraped the country and entire cast for my 1000 movies yesterday with no problems whatsover. I'm using 1.3.0.3 Exp.

So I don't think it's got anything to do with the version. What you could try is to reduce the amount of items being scraped in one batch. It reduced the workload and might have an impact on the stability.

Thanks for the response... that gave me an idea to try. I seem to have no problem scraping my 1000+ flick library for NFO only... it's when I try to scrape ALL that I run into problems. I'll continue to scrap the library for one piece at a time and see if I can identify which particular media element is giving me fits. Thanks again!

Question/Suggestion:
Would Ember be able to interface with XBMC video database like xwmm? Maybe Ember's xbmc controller (which does connect for me) can be updated when this does 608 (PR).

the 'Problem':
I update movie fanart, poster, and imdb ratings in ember and the changes don't propogate to xbmc unless I manually refresh the movie or remove/add the source. It's not really a problem I suppose, just an area where Ember might be able to stand out.

[snowjim]

Say that I have updated my TVShows with some random episodes, how do I updated them in Ember? I dont remember the episodes and I cant got step by step to check every TV show, there is alot of them and most of them have alot os seassions.

So how do I run a update, it should be easy becouse the shows is already known.

I do however need to kow if any of the episodes is not updated. If thay is not updated and I run XBMC, XBMC will downlowd som information itself and this we can´t have.

[upD8R]

For me it works as follows:
After adding a new TV show to my source folder (one episode is sufficient) I update Ember's TV show database. The new show is added without details, I select the show and press Ctrl+I to scrape it.
Ember gets the info from TheTVDB, season pictures and fanart. I believe it also creates an NFO where some TVDB ID and/or path is stored. Up to here it's obvious, I think.

If I now add new episodes to the show I only update Ember's database. Nothing else. Ember recognizes the new episodes and immediately fetches plot, title and episode picture for this known show. Basically you are done and could start XBMC to add your new media there. Works great. Only manual interaction with Ember: adding new season poster/fanart if you start a new season.

This works completely independent of what episodes in which order you add.
