all await/async is in
had to change all calls not to use ByRef but only ByVal for this reason changed return type to a struct with a List of Objects
propagated await to all interested calls

Now we have to bring back EMM to work Smile

Awesome! I'm willing to give it a try when it's merged into project Smile

I do suggest you download my trunk Smile

as changes are massive we need some test before merging back

Is there a way to get the program view to fit my laptop screen? I can't actually SEE the apply buttons in settings or ALL of the icons in the file menus. I can navigate, but not everything shows up like the stable Ember does.

Ideas?

Thanks!

which size is the screen?
I have downloaded 1.4.0.6 x86 on windows 7 fully patched and used it to test scrape my dvds of 24 series 6.
This is the structure:
TEST-TV
24
Season 6
24_S06E01E02E03E04.iso
24_S06E05E06E07E08.iso
24_S06E09E10E11E12.iso
24_S06E13E14E15E16.iso
24_S06E17E18E19E20.iso
24_S06E21E22E23E24.iso

I also tried (making them dummy .mkv files ie just making txt files the making it look ike this to set with)
TEST-TV
24
Season 6
24_S06E01E02E03E04.mkv
24_S06E05E06E07E08.mkv
24_S06E09E10E11E12.mkv
24_S06E13E14E15E16.mkv
24_S06E17E18E19E20.mkv
24_S06E21E22E23E24.mkv

In both cases EMM works like a dream, thank you, BUT when I then use XBMC or Kodi (Nov 2 8pm, windows x86) they dont load like I would expect (Content on TEST-TV to TV-Shows and setting scrapper to .nfo "local files" only as the scraper) , in that only the E01, E05, E09 etc (ie first episode of the iso/mkv) has the title of the episode show the episode title the others on the disk are shown only as "02, 03, 04, ". Is this a problem with way EMM stores multiple <episodedetails> in a single .nfo or the way the scraper is scrapping it? or is this as expected, which I would be disppointed with. I can see the data in .nfo files!

Any thoughts greatly appreicated, I can't believe I am the only person to see this? Or have I made a school boy error (more lilely)?

My issue is on all computers. It's just not auto adjusting. Old ember is fine. New just doesn't show the bottom ok selection icons. They're there...but too far down.

The Settings dialog is not autosized, but it is sizable.

I'm working on new settings dialog for a better and working autosize, but I need time for this.

I will check the context menu.

I've tested with

Family Guy - S01E01E02E03E04.mkv

and

Family Guy - S02E07E10.mkv (special test with two non-consecutive episodes)

In both cases, Ember and XBMC (Gotham 13.2) recognize the episodes correctly:
S01 Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4
S02 Episodes 7 and 10
Is it possible when "Mark New Episodes" is activated and I finished rescraping this Episode the red mark disappears without manually unmarking it?

No, "red" mark is a "hard" tag.

But i work on a better solution for new/green marks on episodes.
Dan am i right in thinking that if i uncheck "overwrite existing" in all of the TV shows image scraper it will just use my local files (when scraping) and not download any new ones?

and if it does, will it still download missing images?

It scares me when it says saving images after i re-scrape a show Smile

Rescraping shows (not movies) does never overwrite or change existing show or season images, only episode thumbs. Only "Change Show" delete all images and scrape new.
Brilliant, Thanks
IMDB Posters don't seem to work.

I have the Image Scraper enabled and when i scrape for the poster for Fatal Instinct (2014), it returns nothing. If i check on IMDb, there is a poster...

Also, i wonder if you would mind terribly putting in an option to convert countries from United States of America to USA and United Kingdom to UK. I know about the abbreviation stuff but i don't want that. I want all full names except for these 2 countries. That is how it was in Ember 1.3 at first.

Thanks again for your great work! Now hurry up and get TV Shows Bulk Renamer ready Tongue

Yes, looks like IMDB poster scraper is broken (IMDB has changed website). I take a look at this.

The IMDB scraper has a setting to save the countries as abbrevation. But TMDB use always full country names.
If you want an addition option to global convert countries from full to abbrevation -> creater a Feature Request

I will begin with BR for tv shows as soon as the movie area is finished
Might want to add to "Known Issues" that "<bitrate>0</bitrate>" is being used for movies atm.

Audio? Video?

Do you have checked what MediaInfo says?
We have fixed some issues in metadata, but sometimes MediaInfo can't read all informations from files.
