RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-07-12

Created folder called __American Chopper Senior vs Junior__

MC found and scraped it perfectly. didn't have an issue.
PM'd you a link to the nfo. Maybe you can use it to scrape the show.

Quote:Also, future upgrade. When scraping a screen shot in home videos, I would love to see it scrape say every 1 minute and then give me say 8 options of which SS to save. Just an idea.

Interesting idea. I'll have a think on how best to do this.

As for ways of splitting up shows, I use Profiles.
Master profile has all TV Shows, All Movies
Working profile has a Temp movie folder, and only active shows, ie: Only shows that haven't ended.

Having the two profiles makes it quicker to scan for new episodes. And I scrape new movies, once happy, they are cut and pasted into the Main root movie folder.

But, I have no-where near as many Movies or TVshows/episodes. Off to do some reading on 32/64.

vbat99 have you had a look at this little app that patches 32bit programs to allow them to use 4GB of ram Wink

Worked with XBMC TMDB scraper, but threw this error on IMDB scraper. Probably the code changes I've done to use come tag info from IMDB for the TMDB scraper.

I'll look into this.

Never heard about that before. Wondering if there's something in MC Code I can do to allow MC access to 4GB of Ram, instead of running this patch.

Looks like i have some research to do.

Well, I'm glad for this one, as I was able to catch the error if the Movie on TMDb does not have the IMDB Id saved for it. (Ha, wasn't my doing).
But, I've also updated this movie on TMDb site to have the IMDB Id, so scraping with current MC should be fixed, and future MC's will handle this better.

Thanks, and keep the bugs coming. Um, well, hopefully there aren't too many more.Big Grin

RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - RonnieG3 - 2015-07-17

HELP! I'm driving myself nuts, lol. Trying to add TV Show Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll and it keeps assigning it "The Joy of Sex". When I go to select correct show, it won't list Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll no matter what I do. It's listed on TVDb, IMDb and TMDb. What would you recommend? I tried creating my own .nfo and correcting the incorrect one written. Shows up as a blank program in list.

I created a dummy file/folder and let Kodi do the scraping and it scraped without a problem.
I would guess that MC is having problems converting the '&' to '&amp;'.
Here is the exported kodi scraped nfo.

RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-07-17

Thanks, I found how to fix this, and &amp; wasn't correct.

For searching when & is between words with no spaces, need to replace it with %26.

Next release will have this fix in place.


RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-07-17

Actually, if user's have this issue for this show, just renaming the folder temporarily to
Sex%26Drugs%26Rock%26Roll
will allow Media Companion to scrape it.

Then rename the folder back to
Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll

Alternatively, allow the show to scrape with the wrong series, then change the TVDB ID to
283345
and re-scrape the Show (r-click, Rescrape TV Show)


RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Levi59 - 2015-07-17

There seem to be a problem with the tagline. there are some error when i scrap them.
eg if i scrap "Home Sweet Hell (2015)", i got " (working title)\tNorth of Hell - (1h38min) - Genre\tComédie , Drame - Nationalité\tAméricain - " as tagline.

Not sure if it was an exception but the other movie i tested has no bug...

Sure your on the latest build? Tagline was fixed on the last build, 3.623b, Now at MC3.624b.

Scraped tagline for me was "Psycho Wife. Unhappy Life"

Looking at this, what language are you scraping in? that could be the issue, and I'm not sure I can reproduce thanks to Geo-IP location tagging on IMDB.


RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - RonnieG3 - 2015-07-17

Thanks Steveb and vbat99!!

Steveb I copied the exported .nfo you posted - No Go. Same thing - Blank Show at the top of my list.

Tried changing TVDB ID from incorrect Joy of Sex scrape and got the same thing.

Will try %26 for & when I get home from work.


Edit: Yup, that worked!! Thank you both again!
