Hi,

I have a small question, I started using this amazing software today! I must say I LOVE it !

BUT

Now all my movies are working good is started with my tv shows, and when I add a new episode of a show MediaElch does see there is a new episode. But it doesnt find the info of the serie ? When I save/sync all and go in to my XBMC, the episode is there but with no info and the filename as title.. When I then refresh the same episode in XBMC and scrape the info ( also with TVDB scraper ) it does find the episode with the right title plot ect.

Am I doing something wrong maybe ?

Type media : TV Shows
Scraper : TVDB
OS : Windows
XBMC : RaspBMC

Hope that someone can help me with this .
@wilco87: What do you mean with "doesn't find the info of the serie"? Did you scrape the show and the episodes? Are all infos visible in MediaElch and did you save everything?
Hi Komet,

Now you typed scrape I went back again and I see what went wrong. I right clicked the episode and there was no scrape in the that menu, but I can use the button in the top of the screen or CTRL + F so that was the problem. Thanks for the quick response !
Hi Komet,
Will you be releasing a new build with recent bugfixes or is it a bit early for that?

Yep a bugfix release will be released in the next one or two days.
Hi Komet

I am having a difficulty with the Custom Option scraper if i set it for any of the adult scrapers - it just seems to hang and not find any movies.

Also any chance of a Data18 website scaper or Exaliburfilms (which has better posters than ADE)
New release 2.1.2 is out with some bugfixes.

@chuck Bartowski: I must admit that I've never checked the custom scraper with adult scrapers. I will check what's going wrong there. And both scrapers are on the roadmap for the next release.

can you please check the trusty repo...saucy is up2date...trusty is still 2.1.1 (maybe its related to the dependency problem ... libqt5core5 vs libqt5core5a?)

thanks a lot!

It takes some time until the build is scheduled and executed on launchpad. Just wait a little bit longer.

wow, that was fast

i never ever used launchpad...nevermind Wink i gonna check repo next couple of hours...thanks komet

UPDATE:

dependency issue still exists. i can circumvent issue by forcing installation anyway...but that breaks the whole apt installion db

Someone with debian knowledge out there? I thought using "libqt5core5 | libqt5core5a" in the depends section of debian/control would be enough. But obviously apt still tries to install libqt5core5...

hmm..are you sure that you used the correct control file?

i grabbed the source via apt-get source and just build the package ...

top package == upstream
bottom package == package via apt-get source (everythings fine...so i think you/launchpad took the wrong control file)

Thanks Komet - still my favourite organiser app. Will make a donation soon
Loving this release. Using MediaElch now for both movies and TV. Actor images from IMDB which are in landscape mode do get cropped a bit weirdly but thats a very minor problem. One question, Can the current filtering of movies be made more conditional? I mean right now you can filter movies which are labeled "blue". How about the possibility of filtering movies which aren't labeled "blue"?
Thanks Komet for your great software Smile
I do have a few issues though and maybe I'm doing something wrong.
In the tab Scraper/Custom Movie Scraper.
I have Tagline: Don't Use
Poster: Fanart.tv
Fanart: Fanart.tv
However when I add a movie, it adds taglines. It also grab the poster and fanart from Tmdb. I need to manually click on the image and choose Fanart.tv in the drop down menu in the top left corner.
Any idea why it doesn't do as configured?
Thanks in advance.
