Thanks Dan, that got it working correctly.

One final question. I've never bothered with this in the past but now I'm thinking of downloading trailers for my movies...if I can get good quality that is.

Under the main scrapers settings I have ticked 'enable trailer support', 'get during automated scrapers', and 'get during single scrape' Preferred quality set to 1080
Under ember native movie scrapers I have 'enable trailer support' ticked and timeout set at 1...
I have everything checked under supported sites.

First, what does the timeout number mean?

These settings are bringing back nothing but crappy quality trailers.
I'd prefer 1080p as I have selected in settings although 720 would be fine.
But what I am getting back is not even close.

What do I need to do to get better quality and what can I do to prevent any download if a minimum of 720p is not available?

Strange thing with the betas on my end. It choakes on updating the library or scraping. It does not crash. It simply does not do anything.
Anyone ran into this?

I will look into this thats something I was looking forward too : download only HD trailer... although I think youtube stopped sharing HD streams I believe...

I use an addon for Firefox to download Youtube videos. When I first got it I could pull 1080p down.... now the best I can get is 720p
But that is still very nice and much better then what I am downloading with EMM at the moment.

JDownloader is nearly the only way I can grab 1080p streams lately, and even it is unreliable.

Check Adaptive Streaming

With Jdownloader it should work again.
We can look at the source code of JDownloader YouTube plugin

Ah ok there may some hope but this looks like it could not be done in a few minutes
ONe thing I noticed that Ember will autoscrape also lowquality trailers if you have prefered quality to 720p - I think we need a setting here that is "HD or nothing". Will look into it

Hehe, i had also tried to fix that in 30min

Please don't do changes in dlgSettings.vb, i'm working on that part. There are some settings that are not stored properly (like trailer quality).

Roger that! can't wait for the next version, the upcoming BETA will have many new things and fixes

I have a question - have the DB changes gone in that are required for us to scrape additional artwork types such as logos, thumbs, and discart?

Hi, just tried - cause I have issues with Trakttv...., didn't work.

Could you please implement, that EMM supports separate DISC subfolders for series !?!

Right now, something like:

HOUSE OF CARDS\
HOUSE OF CARDS\tvshow.nfo
HOUSE OF CARDS\HOUSE_OF_CARDS.JPG
HOUSE OF CARDS\HOUSE_OF_CARDS.fanart.JPG

HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\SEASON_1.JPG
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\SEASON_1.fanart.JPG

HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC1\
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC1\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E01E02E03E04.ISO
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC1\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E01E02E03E04.NFO
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC1\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E01E02E03E04.JPG

HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC2\
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC2\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E05E06E07E08.ISO
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC2\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E05E06E07E08.NFO
HOUSE OF CARDS\SEASON_1\DISC2\HOUSE OF CARDS S1 E05E06E07E08.JPG

.... this is not supported, but necessary for compatibility with Trakt-tv.
(For Trakt-tv ISO-Files have to be located in separate folders, that their play-status can be read out correct)

Thanks

No,
we need to make first a 1.4 stable version.

To add other images/files will have a MASSIVE impact on almost the whole program and we cannot do it till we have at least one stable.

Gotcha - makes complete sense.

Hello just wondering under meta Data what do we input for aspect for a movie that is 2.35:1 and 1.85:1? Ember (1.4) is throwing up errors on some of my movies with that aspect ratio of 2:35.1
