You have to edit all the movies belonging to that particular set, select -None- in Set properties and save. That set name will then disappear from your list.

If you have multiple movies that you want to remove from a set, select them all in the main Browser window, change the set to -None- and click "Save". This will change them all in one hit.

So you've got it sorted then.

OOPS, wrong user.

Here's an example:
Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068290/combined

I only get Aubrey Morris listed under actors. I see at IMDB he is the only one with a photo. It looks like the other movies I was having trouble with are also only scraping the actors with photos.

Right. I see what you mean.

Is there another movie also so I can compare results as I test?

Will investigate and let you know.

OK, just checked and there is one glitch with durationinseconds currently actually storing as minutes, but I haven't come across -1 in this field.

Found -1 stored in <durationinseconds> if mediainfo could not get this detail from the video file.

If you Rescrape specific -> Media Tags, and durationinseconds is still -1, please post output of mediainfo. Link.

Did that in 3.568b and it seems to work so I did a multi-save on my whole folder tree and now I have valid entries. I did note a slight difference from mediainfo, eg media info report 2h 8min while 3.568 shows 7732 secs but I suspect Media info is just rounding down to mins.

once i got use to the way it did things i found this media manager a great addition to my xbmc , although ther is a few bugs ! one i came a cross yesterday was it didnt like the way i named a movie set with a / in the title of the set .. for instance i couldn't get it to save (Alien / Predator : Collection) i renamed the set (total destruction : collection) and that saved without problem

Yep, as the "/" is a No No character, used in web addressing, it can't be used in a string, better to use a hyphen possibly


RE: Media Companion Stable & Beta Release with Frodo support - formula - 2013-05-30

hello again , can you tell me how i can add actors to movies , i can edit the movie but when i get to the actors button is not available to me - do i have to point the media manager to the thumbnail in a folder on my pc

It was possible to do this in the Alternative editor, r-click movie, select Edit (alternative), but for some reason this is not active.

Are you having the same issue, some actors are not downloaded for some movies? This is fixed and will be available in the next release.

well its not really a movie im trying to scrap .. its a live standup comedy dvd show , and with these kind of shows there isnt much info from IMDB more than likely the DVD isnt even logged at IMDB so i blank the .nfo and edit the show manually , hence trying to add actors to it .. also i was wondering could there be a new added feature in your program as you know , that as well as being able to add fanart and poster images .. i would find it really useful to be able to have a section to add disc art.png so long as there already in the movie folder , i know there is the artwork downloader program but that really does take forever to complete .. and i was wondering how easy or difficult it would be to add this feature to your program ? if you could just point the media manager to the selected disc.png without the program having to download it from the net .. if possible
