I also have a new bug in 3.762.  I use the "home movie" feature to create nfo files.  The files are mkv container created by MKVToolNix GUI 77.0.  I use the new MKV element for audio track language BCP-47.  When I set that element to ja-JP, 3.762 sets the nfo streamdetails - audio - language to "Error".  In 3.760 and earlier this worked (gave "jpn")

Sorry to hear this, I originally thought it may have been an update of ffmpeg or mediainfo.dll but these were updated on MC 3.760.
We did some code changes for TMDb images, but nothing I cans see to do with getting Streamdetails.

Is there any change you can make a snippet of your video file and pm me a link so I can investigate further.

Revision History
I am having an issue with trailers.  It keeps saying zero length trailer deleted...

Sometimes it leave a ".file" as an unfinished trailers.

Not sure what happened but I am having like a 10% scrape rate on trailers now.

Any idea what is happening or if there is a work around other then downloading each trailer individually.

Have you tried to manually update the yt-dlp_x86 helper program?
Look in MC folder, Assets folder, instruction are in the yt-dlp source.txt file, you will need to run the command from prompt, in the asset folder.

found the issue, your language string is returning Japanese (JP), when we are just looking for the Japanese part.
Patch in place to accept both returned responses.

Will be in the next release.
Thought I would mention a bug.

Under "use rating" if you enter it at 5.7 it shows up as 0.  If you put it 5 then it shows up as 5.   It seems it wont let you use any user rating other then a single digit.

I like the user rating feature.

User rating is from 1 to 10. No decimal places.
Rating can have 1 decimal place, as it is an average rating.

Let me make sure we are talking about the same thing.

Rating...the rating that pulls from IMDB.com.  

Then you have "USER RATE"  That is a ONE rating and as a family we rate the move and plug in the info.

If we put down 6.9 is comes up as 0.  

So we tried entering 6 save it and then entering 7 and saving figuring it would say 6.5 but now it only shows the last rating of 7.

Am I missing something?
Yes.  Kodi stores user rating in the database as an integer and internally max is 10.  I suppose it could be modified to go up to 100 but I think most users find 0-10 sufficient.


However, you can add new floating point "ratings" from any source (rating_type), I guess you would need to hand edit an nfo or MC could provide a UI for it.  But Kodi UI generally only shows a default rating except in the info dialog, though skins could probably improve this through helper addons (not sure if any do).

I did a hack of addon "script.user.rating" that provides a popup dialog which I modded to enter ratings for 2 rating_types I created (video and audio so I could rate each separately) but that addon was based on the 0-10 scale.  So you would need to work around that (maybe something like a slider).

I just realized I didn't give you all the relevant information.

When you sort under "user rated" everything shows up as "0" that was rated with a decimal. 

in example 6.4 instead of 6

When you go to the movie is still shows as 6.4 but 0 in the sort feature.   I hope that helps.

OK, So I can look at the sort routine, but as you are setting the User Rated outside of Kodi normal values, you still won't be able to set anything but a whole number value in Media Companion.
Got it...

To be honest I don't even use KODI.   This program does everything I need for sorting our movies.  

About the only thing is I wish it could tell me is the resolution of the trailers.   I find can find better ones once I find out the auto scraper downloaded poor ones but I sure wish I could tell the resolution of the past trailers in the system.
