Thanks, good to know. But... is there a reason it does that?
I don't save actor images locally and XBMC gets the images online when it needs to, anyway. So this is actually doubling the time (or way more, if I just update and already have poster/fanart) to edit a movie, only to get something I don't need and the program doesn't even keep.
The way I understand it, EMM currently loads the actor images (which takes up much time and bandwidth - for latter I don't care, but tmdb etc. might), then forgets about them instantly. So the images are downloaded just for the sake of downloading them. ^^
Couldn't this be optional, so that it is (only) used, when I actually want to save actor images in the movies folder? I think this would be highly convenient for users and the providers of all that stuff.
There is an option in settings to disable actor thumbs downloading: Settings -> Movies -> Files and Sources -> File Naming -> Actor Thumbs
That's what I meant with 'I don't save actor images locally'... I use the Frodo/Helix file naming with only Fanart, NFO and Poster checked, so actor thumbs shouldn't be anywhere on my drive, whilst they are still being downloaded (and then probably discarded) every time I update a movie.
It's kind of the same with TV Shows and Images in general. I can't update the whole shows info (meaning text only) without it redownloading every single image I already have.
Ex.: I added Season 5 of Boardwalk Empire. While episode-updates were done automatically, the show still showed as 'continuing'. So I do 'refresh data' (Ctrl+R), the text is updated, but all images are redownloaded aswell. It basically does the same as '(re)scrape data' (Ctrl+I), except that I don't get to choose, which Images I want.

I do not have time for it until the next release.

Main Screen, Meta Data shows Audio Stream 1, Language Greek, in the upper part of the movie (where flags are shown), No flag is shown only a question mark is shown and when i go with my pointer to the question mark it displays Language Unknown...
Yes, Greek is missing in the Languages.xml, but you can add it manually:
Code:
<Language>
<Alpha2>el</Alpha2>
<Alpha3>ell</Alpha3>
<Name>Greek</Name>
</Language>
EDIT: Sorry, it's already in the list, but with an other/wrong Name. Search "Modern Greek", change it to "Greek" and add <Alpha2>el</Alpha2>.
where is languages.xml located?

Some examples:
Men In Black 3 (tt1409024) gave me the AKA title of "M.I.B.³", moving "Men in Black 3" to the the "Original Title" field.
Mission Impossible III (tt0317919) gave me the AKA title of "M:i:III", which isn't even listed on the main movie page. I have to click on the "See More" link next to the AKA to get to that title.
Mission Impossible 2 (tt0120755) game me the AKA title of "M:I-2", which is listed on the main movie page.
I see a setting in the IMDB settings for "Original Title", and it's checked, but I don't see any option for "AKA title". I do see "Popular Titles" under the "Scraper Options" section of the IMDB settings, but I wouldn't think that would impact it, does it?
Again, this is inconsistent (which is the worst type of bug to track down), I hope the 3 examples I've given will help you identify the issue, if you need more, let me know.
Do you have enabled "Force Title Language" in IMDB scraper settings?
If yes, what language you have set there?
It is set to Force Title Language: USA
Worldwide title as fallback is NOT selected
(I was unaware that "USA" was a language, but I suppose it serves to differentiate from British
)
EDIT:
Of course, it doesn't help that someone has entered this in IMDB for Spider-Man 3 (tt0413300):
USA (trailer title) 3
USA (IMAX version) Spider-Man 3: The IMAX Experience
And Toy Story 3 (tt0435761):
USA (poster title) 3
USA (IMAX version) Toy Story 3: An IMAX 3D Experience
I can't imagine why anyone would consider providing just the number for the sequel of a movie, but, whatever.
EDIT 2:
It now seems to be picking up the AKA title nearly every time.
Really bizzare scraping issue:
Rush (tt1979320) was scrapped as Ambushed (tt2497808)
Possibly because it can't find Rush (even when doing a manual re-scrape), but Ambushed does show up on the list, and since I've got the year in the folder & file name, and Ambushed is the only one it can find that was released in 2013, it picked that one?
Hi mate I've got a little problem.
When I'm updating my TV library certain files always say they are new episodes but they have already been scraped beforehand.
I've found out its all the files that are split into part 1 and part 2, is there anyway to stack these files so it only picks them up as one file?
edit: They also show up as 2 files in XBMC

Ember can only add 1 File per episode number. I have fixed that for next release.
Actually dont worry about it, i think it will be easier if i just merge the offending files into one

OK thanks mate
I replied above as well i'm gonna join all the files
Just need to find a 1 click merger haha
Maybe i wont be joining them.
Even thought they are split they have different ratios, audio, fps ect so its not so straight forward as i thought.
I found a program to easily join mismatched files if any one needs one although I'm sure you'll have all heard of it before.

Hello,
since I upgraded to the 1.4.0.7 BETA, I'm having the problem that Ember gets lost in an endless loop when scraping some movies. I'm not sure if it's an endless loop or if Ember hangs, but since there are no error messages (neither from Ember nor Windows) and the app doesn't crash but just keeps scraping I call it an endless loop. I can say it keeps scraping endlessly, as I once even left the computer for several hours and when I came back it was still there scraping.
I can't tell whether it's caused by specific movies or not. It happens with popular movies (300, 2012, Casino Jack) as well as not so well known movies (like this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1529235/), and it doesn't happen with popular movies as well as not so well known movies, too.
Also, when it happens, the only way to get the app working again is to kill it using Ctrl+Alt+Del. Trying to close it ("X" button of the main window) will show a message "Aborting all processes" but again will stay there in an endless loop.
Any idea?

Did you disable the goear theme scraper? There is known issues with it. Check first posts for common issue fixes.
Yes, I deactivated GoEar scraper. It's still not working.
when is the next release?
