RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - Milhouse - 2015-06-21

Just looking at imdb cast artwork, and I've noticed that Ember 1.3.20 is using a thumbnail size of SY275_SX400.

It appears to me that SX275_SY400 would be a more appropriate size for actor thumbs. As this isn't an option in 1.3.20, could it be added to 1.4.x (if it isn't there already - sorry, still waiting for it to exit Beta).

This is what Ember 1.3.20 is using/requesting: SY275_SX400, and this results in imdb serving up an image 182 pixels wide, 275 pixels high:
Image

However when requesting SX275_SY400, imdb serves up a 265 pixel wide, 400 pixel high image:
Image

The other Ember 1.3.x actor thumb size options are SY720_SX1080 and SY1080_SX1920 which would also produce incorrectly proportioned artwork. Have the X and Y values been accidentally transposed, bearing in mind that the majority of cast artwork on imdb is of the headshot variety, ie. portraits, so when requesting these images the longest axis should be the Y axis, not the X axis.

PS. As a one-off fix for 1.3.20, would it be OK to edit AdvancedSettings.xml and manually replace:
Code:
<Setting Name="ActorThumbsSize" Section="scraper.EmberCore">SY275_SX400</Setting>
with:
Code:
<Setting Name="ActorThumbsSize" Section="scraper.EmberCore">SX275_SY400</Setting>
?

Edit: Manually editing AdvancedSettings.xml seems to work and actor thumbs are now being requested with proportions SX275_SY400, although I imagine changing any other setting in future would overwrite the manual change.

Getting an error on the current Beta of Value was either too large or too small for an Int32 when trying to scrape in a folder, that contains sub folders of tv shows.


IE
TV1

Startrek Almost Human , Etc

Any thoughts

Where can I get the last STABLE non BETA release? i.e. If there is one?

PS: I went to emm's .ORG site and the 1.3x download link is broken.

You can get 1.3.0.20 here: Link
But, the 1.3.0.20 is no longer supported and the 1.4.x is much more stable. There are some bugs with season and episode rescraping, just don't use it ;-)
I'm working hard on next release and i hope a can publish it at the end of the weak.

Please don't add support just to spite him, PLEASE! He's apparently too good to read release notes.

Thank you.

PS: I'd like to make a suggestion Smile Having 2 separate "inactive & outdated" Wikis on EMM & KODI/XBMC which dont have much sync left with whats updated here might be counter productive.. Might make sense to delete or suspend the Wikis.. as they lead to distraction and disinformation (as has happened in my case; people who may not be obsessing every release of EMM etc and come and go once in a while).

would anyone happen to have a link to ember 1.4.6.0?


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - JoeBlow42069 - 2015-06-25

I am getting the error, "Active X plugin is not registered" when I try to scrape fanart. Anybody know why I'm getting this and if there is a fix?

Also, my fanart is being downloaded as moviename-fanart.jpg. Is it possible to set Ember to name the art as fanart.jpg instead?

Disable the VLC module in Settings -> Modules -> VLC.

For "fanart.jpg" go to Settings -> Movies -> Files and Sources -> Filenaming -> Expert -> Single -> Fanart and write fanart.jpg in this field.


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - JoeBlow42069 - 2015-06-25

This worked, except now 2 files are being created. moviename(year)-fanart.jpg, and fanart.jpg. Is there a way to stop moviename(year)-fanart from being created? Tyvm for the help, I am attempting to use Ember for the first time todaySmile I will look at the wiki when I have some free time.
