Downloading trailers I can't speak to as much at this point. I've only downloaded one or two and it went just fine. A mass trailer download would be nice, but I'm still not sure if I'm even going to have trailers or not. I suppose if it's that easy, I would just because I have the space to do so. *shrug*

I forget, does your un-handled exception occur when you retry an item, or only randomly?

I am running Lion, and I am able to install ViMediaManager ok, but when I try to import movies, I get an exception error 5. http://imgur.com/OJqhv

The program then exits.

I would love to give you some log file, but I'm not sure where one would be (still somewhat a OS X n00b).

The 5 error message may be because of System file corruption. Damaged system data files are often a real risk to the health and wellbeing of your computer.

There are many events which can have resulted in a system file error. An unfinished install, an incomplete uninstall, incorrect deletion of software or components. It could also be triggered if your computer is contaminated with a computer virus or adware/spyware invasion or by an incorrect shut down of the pc. Any of the preceeding actions could very well end up in the deletion or data corruption of Windows system data files. A damaged system file will result in absent or wrongly connected data and records necessary for the proper functioning of the program.

Could you try and start ViMediaManager while holding the [Alt] key and see if you still have the same error?

Ogi010 Wrote:I'm assuming holding ALT starts the program in debug mode?

I removed the preferences file (as that seemed to be a common suggestion in this thread prior to), and restarted the program in debug mode.

Selected the movie folder and I'm letting it go to town (not going to lie, a progress bar would be fantastic for those of us w/ large movie collections ).

....been letting this run for a while, and I just keep getting the spinning ball. I'm wondering if it's actually doing anything at this point

Do you think it would be helpful if I removed the 12 monkeys NFO file?

I can't figure out what sorting order all my movies are in, as they are not alphabetical ... not sure if that matters or not.

Thanks for being patient with me, glad to know that everything on your end was working and the fault was at my end

I don't particularly care for other sources to scrap from besides TMDB and TheTVDB, so if those are the easiest to code for, keep on keeping on.

I'm not sure if this is proper behavior:

I'm able to see only a portion of the fanart in the background, and it's very grayed out.


I do have a feature request.

Lots of skins recognize "banner.jpg", independent from poster.jpg. Having the ability to download both posters (posters being poster.jpg) and banners (banners being banner.jpg), and if available landscape images (naturally being landscape.jpg) would be fantastic. As the Aeon MQ 2 skin allows for multiple views of switching back and forth, there is no reason we (users) can't have both sets of thumbnails sitting in the movie folder. I'm not sure how other folders handle this, but I imagine that they do something similar as well.

i814u2 Wrote:This option already exists. Please check the file menu.

EDIT: also, from what I can tell (to try and answer your other questions) it pretty much just chugs along and ignores issues. I usually end up with a few that are still in a status of not having information and then I just manually search those. A couple times I had some that worked just by clicking on download metadata, so it must have been a connection issue at that point. So, aside from the message at the end, it appears to do what you were suggesting.

If it doesn't, post back so we can help troubleshoot.

Quote:They gray area is not acceptable behavior, it should be filling out the screen with movie information, something might have gone reading the preferences, so you might have to remove it again to fix it.

Quote:Banners and landscape images are supported for TV shows as banner and tv thumbs.
For movies i'm downloading the images from TMDB, which does not have banners or landscape images for movies, so I don't have anything to download for movies.
If you have a source where you get these from, let me know and I'll look into adding it if I can, but until then it's limited to Posters and Fanart.

Ogi010 Wrote:It shows

Will attempt this as soon as it's done fetching all data. Which reminds me, feature request number 2. A stop/cancel button when fetching data would be useful

I think I might have spoken too vaguely.

Since there are skins that have both banner and poster views, it's easy to go back and forth between the two. What I am trying to avoid is having to download/rename new thumbs each time I want to switch from a banner to a poster view. Currently, as far as I can tell, the behavior of ViMediaManager allows for only posters OR banners to be downloaded (and named "poster.jpg"). What I would like is the ability to download posters AND banners (named "poster.jpg" and "banner.jpg" respectfully). Hope that makes a little more sense.
