Fix in place for this for the next release.

Believe different issue, as Edworld was mentioning the Stage 2 of 3 always appearing, even if no episodes to scrape.
Glad you found the issue you were having.

Hi! When will we get the new version?

Was to be this Friday, still working out some issues with the new feature I've added.

Hang tight, spending as much time as I have spare to get everything working in harmony..

New Release.
Media Companion 3.685b
New Feature: - Select TV root folder to scrape series from TheMovieDB.
MC 3.685b see the addition of selecting your TV Root Folder to scrape series from either TVDb, or from TMDB (TheMovieDb).
If the user selects to scrape series from TMDB, the series nfo is altered to scrape Actors for series and episodes from TMDB.

A fair amount of work has been done for TheMovieDB series and episode scraping to function correctly.  But there are some minor limitations:
1.  TMDB does not have Series Banners.
2.  At this time, any series changed to TMDB, will only be able to get actors from TMDB.
3.  Not all episodes have all external ID's loaded, so some episodes may be missing their unique ID, and/or IMDb Id.

From the TV Folder tab, users will now see three columns before the path of the TV Root folder.
Two check boxes, colums titled A and S, dropbox listing source scraper, TVDb or TMDb
A indicates active root folder - can be searched for new series (F7 key)<br>
S indicates Searchable for new episodes.  If unselected, Series is affected root folder will be excluded when searching for new episodes, but will be included for Refresh All.<br>
TVDb - Legacy scraper.<br>
TMDb - Scrape series and episodes from TheMovieDB.  Actors only retrieved from TheMovieDB.



Please note, I have tried to test all edge cases, but know I can never account for all problems that arise.

Please, if you come across an issue, raise a Ticket on MediaCompanions SourceForge site, with step-by-step instructions to re-create the issue.  If users can also zip and attach their config.xml and tvcache.xml it will help to test with the users settings.

New:

• TV - Select TV Root folder for all series contained within to scrape from TheMovieDB (TMDB)
  

Fixed:

• TV - Fix series and episode actors saving correctly with selected options.
  
• TV - Fix scrape series and empty plot returned.
  
• TV - Fix retrieving Writers from TVDb and TMDB.
  
• TV - Fix Tv genre Max - behave damn you!
  
• Movie - Fix if no playcount node or playcount node is empty from movie nfo, default to playcount to zero (unwatched).
  
• and other fixes that I forgot to annotate in the commits.
  

And, Please, if you experience any crashes, create a Ticket on Media Companion's SourceForge site
Feedback would be appreciated.

vbat99,

Thanks for all the udpates

Is there an option to clean the episodes listed in any given season?

I have a couple of seasons that have duplicate shows listed

Hey, Rob,


Thanks for the latest release.  Just have a couple of "bugs" on the TV side.  When Scraping a show for new episodes I get this: "String cannot be zero length.  Parameter name:oldValue.  Continue?"  (Not so sure about this one.  Rescraped more shows without problem.  Might have been a certain few shows. )

Filter to unwatched or watched gives me this:

System.ArgumentException: String cannot be of zero length.
Parameter name: oldValue
   at System.String.ReplaceInternal(String oldValue, String newValue)
   at System.String.Replace(String oldValue, String newValue)
   at Media_Companion.TvEpisode.set_VideoFilePath(String value)
   at Media_Companion.Form1.tv_Filter(String overrideShowIsMissing)
   at Media_Companion.Form1.rbTvDisplayFiltering_CheckedChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Haven't messed with movies yet.

Not exactly sure what your meaning, but do you have duplicate episodes showing in a season for a Show?
If you know that there is actually only one episode, but it is displaying twice (or more), try right click the series and then select
Refresh this show from nfo

Hi All!

Just made the switch to Media Companion from Ember.
Looking good so far.

Curious as to whether tags for Tv Shows are on the cards?

Yes it is on the plan now that TMDB has been added to mediacompanion.

Just want to wait a couple of releases till all the bugs have been squashed...
