It looks like it might. MediaPortal uses the XBMC style XML .nfo file:

You would need to read the file naming conventions and set the ViMM preferences accordingly.

I upgraded to the 5/24 nightly today, and when I fetch metadata I automatically grab 720p trailers from Apple. The trailers download, but are then renamed <moviename>-trailer.mp4-trailer. It's adding the "-trailer" part to both the filename (correct) and the extension (incorrect). I've been correcting them manually for now.

I verified my setting in the preferences, and toggled it back and forth through a couple options to make sure that it wasn't a byproduct of using an old preference.

Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for letting me know, i'll look into it as soon as possible!

Update: Alright, I think I fixed it, let me know if the problem still occurs in this build:

RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-28

Official release v0.7a8: http://dstats.net/fwd/1r5pg
Update Information: http://goo.gl/2Ldi4

This release should be much more stable then ever before!
Enjoy!

P.S. Only 1 known issue, possible chance of a memory leak when scanning in a lot of movies at once.
So if you need to add 200+ new movies, download the intel version instead:

Edit:
One slight issue, file information isn't read correctly from the .nfo file, I've uploaded a fix, so if you have this issue, re-download ViMM: http://dstats.net/fwd/1r5pg

It's mostly just visual, the information will be written correctly.

So sorry for the inconvenience!


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-28

Official release v0.7a9: http://dstats.net/fwd/1r7qz
Update Information: http://goo.gl/rXjDY

I never seem to fail to miss some last minute bugs. ^^;

Enjoy!

Have fun!

Update seems awesome! One quick little nit pick - it doesn't automatically download a backdrop?


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - PhantomHelix - 2013-05-30

I cant seem to get the Anime section working even though i added my Anime folder in prefferences, the button on the Main UI doesnt work or is greyed out


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-30

@cbr600ds2: You might have to enable fanart.tv under "Preferences" > "Services", let me know if that worked.

@PhantomHelix: The anime section is still 'under construction', right now, there just isn't anything there yet, but it''ll make it available in v0.8. Wink

Autoupdate doesn't work for me. Always popping up with a new version notification and not successfully replacing vmm afterwards. Sticking to 7a8.


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-30

You can manually download 7a10 from here: http://dstats.net/fwd/1swjk

The problem isn't with the app, it's with the online update file, i'll fix it right away!

Fixed Updates should now actually update to 7a10 rather then 7a9


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - BillyBunter - 2013-05-31

Just downloaded 7a10 and I am having problems detecting new movies added? I've done my usual 'put movie files into folders' which it has done, but when I fetch metadata (All items without Metadata) it gives me a 'nothing to download' ? any ideas? I have been through the settings and things are as they should be. Also, when switching between Movies and TV Shows using the icons on the top left - it just stays in Movie mode, but without the covers? (pics below)

Many thanks

Sorry guys...this maybe a stupid question but I'm using this media manager for the first time. After I have all my movies scraped with the media manager how do I get XBMC to import it from Vimedia manager? Am I still supposed to set content type to movies and have it scrape using the default scrapers or do I change something here?
Also for some reason when I try scraping info regarding the TV Show Vikings the application keeps crashing..not sure why.

What a great tool this is... just perfect in so many ways. Eliminates a lot of headaches.

That said, I'm a little lost as to how to automate the cleaning of my libraries using viMediaManager.

Rather than running it manually, in the foreground, with an admittedly minimal series of mouse clicks, I'd like to just have it do an Update List followed by a Fetch Metadata > All Items Without Metadata whenever the application starts up (and preferably in the background). That way I can just add it as a startup item and set my media center to reboot every morning. The computer reboots, viMediaManager loads, and my TV Shows and Movies folders are re-scanned and updated (preferably, in the background so when the TV is turned on later my girlfriend doesn't see viMediaManager in front of XBMC).

Is there some way to do this without writing AppleScripts or cron jobs?


RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - Glorious1 - 2013-05-31

@BillyBunter - Are the newly added movies showing up in the list? I've noticed the little bug also with recent builds also that the list doesn't always change correctly when you switch from movies to tv shows. A quick workaround is Command-R. That may also show the missing new movies so they can be fetched. Also, try fetching the new movies individually or using the manual search function to see if you get any more feedback.

@Jedininja - All you have to do is tell XBMC to scan for new content, just like anything else you add to XBMC. It will see the stuff is already there and it won't go redownloading it. However, if you ever tell XBMC to Refresh a movie from the information screen, it will ask whether to use existing info or download it from the internet.
