Hi,

Is there an official command line reference (a.k.a., options; switches) anywhere for Ember Media Manager?

All I've found are a couple obscure anecdotal fragments in various threads going back to 2009.

P.S. I'm using v.1.3.

THANKS!

Nice idea, there's indeed no reference for commandline options yet - I will add them to wiki later. Thanks for noticing

I'm using 1.4.0.7 right now and would love for those CL references as well!

For movies:

Scraper Type:

Code:

-fullask
-fullauto
-fullskip
-missask
-missauto
-missskip
-newask
-newauto
-newskip
-markask
-markauto
-markskip
-file "FILEPATH" **** BROKEN ****
-folder "FOLDERPATH" **** BROKEN ****

Scraper Mode:

Code:

-all
-banner
-clearart
-clearlogo
-discart
-efanarts
-ethumbs
-fanart
-landscape
-nfo
-poster
-theme
-trailer

TV Shows (Episodes):

Code:

-tvupdate

Special:

Code:

-nowindow
-run "MODULENAME" **** BROKEN ****

Examples

Syntax is:

Code:

[-ScraperType -ScraperMode] [-tvupdate] [-Special]

Update movie database, autoscrape new movies and get all content (based on your settings):

Code:

-newauto -all

Update movie database, scrape new movies (ask if more then one movie search result) and get NFO and Posters, update also tv show database:

Code:

-newask -nfo -poster -tvupdate

Update tv show database only:

Code:

-tvupdate

Don't use -miss* with -all !

Excellent Dan! Maybe you can add this to wiki ? Here are some more notes I did a while ago for myself:

Example of CMD/console command:

Code:

"D:\EmberMM\Ember Media Manager.exe" -newauto -all -nowindow

Above command will launch Ember and target movies which are not in Ember database (=new movies). The "-all" command means that all movie information will be scraped/updated (the settings in Ember i.e. lock fields will be considered).
-nowindow will hide the Ember main window (only splash screen at startup will be displayed)


The -newauto in the example above can be replaced with following commands (see above post of Dan for full command list):

General:
..ask = problematic movies that require user interaction
..auto = fully automated, no user interaction required
..skip = problematic movies will be skipped, no user interaction required

So I have modified to " -newauto -all -tvupdate..." ( from previously using just -newauto -all ... ) this should work for all Tv shows as well ?

"-tvupdate" does the same like you "Update Database" for tv shows. New episodes are detected and the NFO will be generated. Unknown TV shows are not automatically scraped.

cool .. thanks for letting us know !

Will/Could there be a way to implement a command to update/scrape movie sets? That's literally the last thing to fully automate my htpc!!
