Hi,

Nice program, but I have a few questions..

I already have .nfo files in all my media folders. after telling ME where me files are,it scans the folders, but it doesnt seem to read any of the info from the .nfo files?
Do I have to import the data somehow? (all the .nfo files where created with the export option in xbmc)

@Msan:
How are your nfo files named? <filename>.nfo or movie.nfo?
Please check MediaElch -> Settings -> Movies -> nfo filenames and adjust it to your needs. And: if your movies are in separate folder also check this option in MediaElch -> Global Settings -> third column of the sources table.

Yes, the nfo files are named <filename>.nfo and the 3rd column is checked in global as well.. structure is:

share/
share/MovieName (year)/
share/MovieName (year)/MovieName.avi
share/MovieName (year)/MovieName.nfo

Strange, this should work quite well. Could you backup one of your nfo files and save the corresponding movie within MediaElch. Just to see if the nfo file created by MediaElch would have the same name.

Hello! I'm just now trying out MediaElch and I hope this hasn't already been answered in the last 72 pages. But I'm having a bit of a problem on Windows 7 with MediaElch 1.5

I've got about 400 movies in a folder. Each movie is in it's own sub-folder all by itself. When I fire up MediaElch and have it scan my entire folder it doesn't display any movies at all, like if I had scanned an empty folder. Sometimes when I open it a box does pop up saying "File Scanner" but then goes to Not Responding then a few moments later it goes away but there's still just a blank area where the list of movies should be.

I've tried just coping a few movies into a different folder and scanning that. MediaElch picks them all up and it seems to work fine.

So, I'm not sure if it's hanging up because there's 400 something movies? Or because one movie (or more) are causing a problem of some sort.

Is there a way I can enable debugging or console output and check for error messages or anything or help narrow the problem down?

Using Ember it seems to pull all of the movies (as best as I can tell) but I'm not sure if that helps this debugging any Smile

@sqls:
At first, double check that you've set "separate folders" for your source in MediaElchs settings -> Global Settings -> third column in the table. Then, after saving the settings, hit the "Reload" button in the toolbar. This should bring up the scanner window and after a while (hopefully) the list with your movies.

If not: do you have any DVD structures in this source that are not inside another subdirectory "VIDEO_TS"? That's currently a bug in MediaElch 1.5 which already has been fixed some time ago.

You can enable the debug mode with an advancedsettings.xml: http://www.mediaelch.de/usage/


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - sqls - 2013-04-18

@Komet,

I have configured it with the "separate folders" option already. I'm not sure about the DVD structures part. I believe they're all in VIDEO_TS folders but that's a possibility. I'm trying to slowing add (a few movies at a time) into a folder for MediaElch to see when it dies. I'll try out the debug mode and see if that'll speed up the testing processes for me Smile


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - sqls - 2013-04-19

@Komet, found one problem so far. It was a folder that had all the .m2ts files not inside a BDMV/STREAM folder

This may be directly relayed to the VIDEO_TS thing you mentioned. But, just in case I thought I would mention it.


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - Etharr - 2013-04-22

Any info about 1.6 release date?


MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - Komet - 2013-04-22

@Etharr: Tonight Wink


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - RockDawg - 2013-04-23

Any chance of getting the IMDB scraper to download the entire cast list rather than a partial?

I think I should add this question to the FAQ *g
Please talk to http://imdbapi.org it's no MediaElch problem.

MediaElch 1.6 is now ready for download!
Read the full announcement and head over to the downloads page. Smile

@Etharr: Sorry, it took a day longer.

When attempting to scrape Firefly into the DVD order, looking at TheTVDB I should see an order like this:

http://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=season&seriesid=78874&seasonid=15791&lid=7&order=dvd

But within MediaElch, I get an order that is the same as the Aired order.

Also of note, when scraping using the DVD order, I don't get any plot information, rating, studio, etc.

Both fixed.
