Media Companion 3.750 Date: 2020-11-25 It has been a while, but some changes to TMDb have broken Movie and TV Scraping. Now fixed in this release Changes:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, create a Ticket on Media Companion's SourceForge site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.750b x86 & x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - scott967 - 2020-11-25 Thanks for the update. Haven't tried it, but for a while movie scraping TMDB would fail (not found), but I could use the change movie button to find it and then it would scrape (title was OK). Meanwhile, I did a clean install and I have a movie root folder (in a profile that's not default) where all movies are in folders and use local fanart.jpg and poster.jpg in each folder. MC is showing the fanart but not the poster. It seems like this worked in the past but I haven't looked at this root folder for a while so might not be remembering correctly. I did try in 749 with same results. scott s. . RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2020-11-26 (2020-11-25, 22:49)scott967 Wrote: Thanks for the update.

Check the naming of a working movie folder, against a non-working folder. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - echo - 2020-11-30 Cheers for the update. It has however introduced a new issue. In the new <dateadded> tag, you are using the current scrape datetime. This conflicts and overrides Kodi's default of setting dateadded based on file created datetime. Usecase: if adding a new release movie to the library, it should, and does, appear at the top of the library when sorted by date added. However, quite often I want to add an older movie to the library. And I dont want to have these appear at the top. What I do is change the movie's filesystem created datetime property, and when Kodi reads it in, it sorts it way below into the date I specified. What I am doing as a workaround at the moment, is scrape with MC, then manually edit the nfo to delete the <dateadded>. Request: either change <dateadded> to be the file's created datetime or add an option to completely omit <dateadded> from the nfo. Thanks mate!

Yes, I see where I went horribly wrong with this alteration. I am so sorry. Createdate was not a Kodi tag, but dateadded is. I will correct MC for the next release.

I have kodi setup on a fire stick with allow remote control from applications on this system and other systems enabled. The web interface is the default one. Media companion is setup on a windows system/same network with this configuration : <XBMC_Active>True</XBMC_Active> <XBMC_Link>False</XBMC_Link> <XBMC_Address>192.168.1.50</XBMC_Address> <XBMC_Port>8080</XBMC_Port> <XBMC_Username>crabtronic</XBMC_Username> <XBMC_Password>aaa</XBMC_Password> <XBMC_UserdataFolder>\\sankukai\userdata</XBMC_UserdataFolder> <XBMC_TexturesDb>userdata\Database\Textures13.db</XBMC_TexturesDb> <XBMC_ThumbnailFolders>Thumbnails</XBMC_ThumbnailFolders> I tried with : "\\sankukai\userdata" and "\\192.168.1.50\userdata" and with : "\\192.168.1.50\sdcard\Android\data\fork.teamdork.thefix\files\.kodi\userdata" I got the last path with adblink. When I check "Validate" I always get : Quote:Frodo Enabled -> Passed What did I miss ?

I feel its more a security issue within Windows giving access to the Userdata folder. I also feel there is a better way through the KODI Api, but I have no knowledge of how this works. Sorry.

Well I really love this software. Thanks again to help the collectionnist maniac that I am. You changed my life ! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Croftman - 2020-12-11 Just had 60 movies that already existed in the database, old movies change their date added and create date to todays date on rescan. Checked with previous version which is still on drive and the dates are correct, but obviously if i refresh it will change to the new dates. Anybody got any ideas. Is there anyway of correcting this with the previous database which is only a few days old. Can somebody please help, manually adjusted all dates messed up in 3.7.5.0 reverted back to 3.7.4.9 and did a rescan and it said it was updating 146 movies that had already been scanned and changing them to today's date again. Looks like nfo from one movie is being copied to another movie, so they same nfo is in the directory of two films and thus media companion is updating the one that has changed. Took me several hours to put this right. Approx 200 movies had their nfos overwritten by others in the database. Some were put right by a new search, but about 50 had to be manually "change movie" to correct. Also all movies date added are still messed up because of the rescan. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - rev105 - 2020-12-14 Hey developers, Thanks for making and maintaining this program! Can you please make a tool like the Create date fix for the date added field in the NFO? I am updating Kodi for the first time in several years and they are now looking at the NFO for date added if you use the advanced settings date added video library setting instead of the create date of the video file.

May I suggest also making a couple of settings for a couple of different ways of coming up with a date added when adding a new nfo to a movie with MC?(2020-12-14, 00:46)rev105 Wrote: Hey developers, Thanks for making and maintaining this program! The first option would obviously be to use the date that you are adding the movie. The second option would be to use the create date of the movie file. The third option would be to use some predetermined amount of time like around 6 months after whatever the premiered date is for that movie. Instead of or in addition to having a tool it would be nice to be able to rescrape 1 or all selected following one of the above-selected rules. Thanks, Troy |
