Can you add a <<date_added>> var? (date the move was added to the database)

Quote:createdate is the date field inserted when the NFO is first created
dateformat is a standard date format eg. yyyyMMddHHmmss (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4%28v=vs.100%29.aspx)
separator can be one of space|colon|slash|dash if an underscore is present in date format.
(hint: you can get 30-Jan-2012 08:49 with <<nfo:createdate:dd_MMM_yyyy:dash>><<nfo:createdate:HH_ss:colon>>, no non-alphanumeric characters allowed in tag which is why we need to specify the separator)

My naming convention for movies is:
movies\moviename\moviename.avi
movies\moviename\moviename-fanart.jpg
movies\moviename\poster.jpg

This adheres perfectly to XBMC's naming convention as stated here ...since XBMC suppoorts it, it would be great if MC could support it too... AND also write posters as poster.jpg instead of moviename-poster.jpg....I think I requested this earlier..

Thanks and keep up with the great work!

, that did better though now my problem rests with every new scrape file created (actors,poster, fanart) for each movie the scrape runs again
before the other files are done. (actors causes movies folder to update, and while the original scan is still going about 6 more cmd windows pop up until cmd crashes.

(this might be getting off topic and i might have to go to the event ghost forum, but thought others might have the same issue with MC. )

thanks again

EDIT -- never mind. simply checked the "wait for application to terminate before proceeding" box.

thanks for the help vbat, youre a lifesaver

Yeah I see now, the link gets mangled a bit when posted...
Basically, its section 1.8 of that page, titled "How should local images be named for Frodo?" (note that folder.jpg is not on the recommended list). Anyways, its not a big deal....if you could support poster.jpg it would be appreciated, if not, I can work around it.

Thanks in any case.

I have a feature request. Now that XBMC can use the dated added from the nfo file instead of the date the movie was added to the XBMC library. Can you make Media Companion use the date the folder was created for the date added on the nfo file if each movie is in it's own folder. I can think of many reasons why this would be more useful than other ways of handling this and I would be happy to explain if needed.

I would also like to give a small donation to the this project even if you can't honor my request. I read a while back that you didn't have anything set up for donations. If the developers have paypal you could PM me your email for each of you and I could send a little to each developer.

Thank you
