have been playing at setting ember up and have maybe found some bugs. Ekstra thumbs seems to being added on every new scrape after 1st scrape I have 4, next scrape I have 8 but its the same as the first 4.
and if I enable "use plot for outline if outline is empty" it uses plot for outline even if there is an outline I am using imdb as scraper for all exept trailer
Dan could you be so kind as to tell me how I would go about scaping a series in dvd order I have tried to enable it in edit show and enable high prioty in settings but it doset seem to change the ordering I have few show that are in dvd order and next to impossible to change manually I found a post halfway through the thread where it seemed it should work ?

Dan : if I am manually updating the "all Library"option .. then after the movies ember goes about refreshing ALL the Tv Shows ... not just the new episodes... it prolongs the whole process unnecessarily. I am sure I am missing a simple setup setting.. IS there anyway ember just refreshes the "New / newly Added "epiosdes only and not every single episode ?

Hey Guys,
just switched over and started using Ember, and I love it! Great work and much thanks to everyone involed!
I have question regarding actor images. I have all of my actor images stored in a single folder as shown below. I did this because i was using an old Imagesbyname folder from when i came over from Mediabrowser a bunch of years ago. I have just never felt the need to update until now.
Cast Images
------->Christian Bale
----------------->folder.jpg
So here's my questions:
1. If i store all actor images in a .actors folder, wouldn't there be a significant amount of wasted space for say Christian Bale in every movie he is in. I would think it would be more practical to store once and reference in each .nfo to this location.
2. Is there a way to use the imagesbyname folder in ember? I am not opposed to doing the .actors folder if that is standard practice, it just seems redundant as mentioned above.

I have my movies organized into folders so that the unwatched movies aren't together with the others. I finally got around to filtering the unwatched ones out and marking all the watched ones watched in Ember. So as a result of this, all the nfo's (except the unwatched) have a playcount of 1, which is great. But then I went into XBMC and it really isn't any different from before (even after updating the library). I tried quitting and re-updating, but that didn't work either. Right now I'm in the process of removing the source and then putting them all back in. I expect this to work. Not exactly the most efficient thing. Edit: This didn't work. It's no different than before.
Is there a better way to get XBMC to recognize these updated nfos? I'd generally prefer not to have to do this going forward.

The Frodo movie naming template is using <moviename>.nfo for the .nfo file. I'd rather have movie.nfo (it makes it easier when replacing a bad rip as you don't have to rename the .nfo file — and I don't rename the movie file as it makes it easier to get the right version of the subtitles).
If I use expert settings, do I need to configure EVERYTHING in there, or can I just set the .nfo file to be movie.nfo, untick .nfo on the Frodo tab, and have all the other files use the Frodo defaults?
PS: I suppose asking for EMM to download the fanart/discart etc thumbs in the background while I'm choosing which poster I want is a bit much in terms of the amount of work required to implement it. But it would be very nice for those of us with slower connections :)

You have to configure just what is "ticked" but i would highly recommend you define every file pattern.

Is there a way to, when scraping a custom TV show or a show with numbers, to NOT have the generated NFO create duplicates?
For instance:
I use XBMC for family vids. I wanted to make NFOs with Ember.
Home Videos - 101 - Home Vids 1982-1983
Generates 1 .NFO file with 3 sources listed. The result is a triplicate scrape of the same file. 1 is the original, then 2 that are S19E82, S19E83.
Sometimes I end up with even more. I remove the additional info, and it repopulates. I had the same happen with a few Fringe episodes. Ideas?
**I actually tried Media Companion too, since it has a Home Movies tab, but XBMC won't read the output. Saves everything as <movie> and no </episodedetails> labels. Fail.
