Hi,

I'm getting a minor issue where I can't use "Saved Displayed Screenshot". I'm trying to use it on some old shows that don't have any image uploaded on TVDB (plus locked so unable to upload).
When I click it, it just slows down Media Companion and I have to restart it to resolve the slowness.

How old are the episodes what codec is being used these could all be the cause of the issue but without knowing that I can't test


RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - MonSoon12 - 2018-11-27

Well they are Webisodes of Heroes back in 2009. Low quality.
A few are AVC and there was another in DivX.
I have uploaded two examples and PMed you.

Thanks for the files.

I have tested and re-tested, I can not get MC to slow down while it is doing screenshots from these epsiodes.
Tested x86 & x64 builds.


RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - MonSoon12 - 2018-11-29

I see, well like I said it was a minor issue. If I come across it again I will let you know.

I just created the screenshots with MPC and added them in manually to the folder to resolve my issue.
Thanks for taking to time to look into my issue.

Thanks for all the hard work on MC.  I have many home movies entered via the "home movie" tab.  I have hand-entered actors and set data for these in the nfo and that works well for kodi.  I also use "refresh" on the movie tab to get these into the movie list.  That works pretty well, but I can't filter on actor or set.  From looking at the cache.xml files, it looks like the problem is all the home movies have <id>0</id>.  I was wondering if it was possible to have MC create dummy ids and assign it to home movies (or really, any movie that doesn't scrape).  I take it if the movie has an id that would be passed to the sets and actors and so filtering would work.

This is the reason why Home Movies are separated from the Movie section, as it is not possible to have them function in the same way as a Movie.
Adding a mock id is not going to help, as in Kodi, that ID would be thought of as a TMDb Id.
And yes, this Id is used to filter actors belonging to different movies.

Same for Sets. Sets (of collections) have a separate Set Id. eg:
Code:
<set>Avatar Collection</set>
    <setid>87096</setid>
Sets come from TMDb and having a Set Id associated to a Home Movie Collection would indicate to Kodi that a valid Set (collection) exists on TMDb.

In MC we group Home Movies in the
Code:
<set>Home Movie</set>
collection, with no <setid> assigned, so when they show in Kodi, they are all under the one Collection, separate from main Movies.

So to answer your quesiton, no, it is not feasible to add a mock id value to the <id> tag in the nfo, as this would cause other issues in MC and in Kodi.

I could add an option to add Actors to Home Movies in Media Companion, to make it easier for you, but honestly never thought anyone would add actors to Home Movies.

@vbat99

Would you mind having a look at this thread... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=338193

RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - artistwantab - 2018-12-11

Is there any way of randomly just playing trailers?
