No, not in next release. But we are working on it and also on new fanart.tv API v3.

Thank you to everyone who's been involved with this release!

Question please:
What's the best method to install it if I've already got the May 9th 2014 version installed?

Cool, thanks for the prompt reply.

I better take some screenshots first, of everything I have there Smile
I'm having problems running the new version installed from scratch. After the initial configuration Ember opens, throws a lot errors and exit. If I run the program again it begins configuration again.

Cancelling the initial configuration and trying to configure manually -> Ember asks for restart and when open again settings revert to default. When trying to update library it errors out and closes.

Here is the log from the initial configuration: https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid...file%2ccsv
Two bugs found:

1. Settings >> Movies >> Scrapers - Data >> Miscellaneous >> Force Title Language:
The dialogue box is empty instead of displaying "USA", as it was on the previous Public 09-05-2014 Beta build.

2. This one looks like a persisting bug, unless I don't understand what its supposed to do.
2. A. Settings >> Movies >> Scrapers - Images >> Images >> Do Not Save URLs to Nfo:
There's no change in terms of the NFO file which EMM produces when this setting is either checked or unchecked.
On both accounts it saves the Actor's images as URLs in the NFO, instead of pointing to a local storage location in which they stored.

2. B. Someone should take a look at how this option is spelled. It should be:
Do not save URLs to NFO

1. Oh, forgot to fix that. But this will only used in IMDB scraper

2. Actors has always urls in NFO. This option is only to nod save loster and fanart links in NFO... and this is broken anyway.
I'm having a problem with this latest release - I can't edit any movies. Whether I double click or right click and select Edit, the app does nothing.

When I look in the log file, for each attempt at editing, there is an Exception error;

Code:
56:32.3    Ember_Media_Manager.frmMain    Ember_Media_Manager.frmMain.cmnuMovieEdit_Click    1    ERROR    cmnuMovieEdit_Click    "EXCEPTION OCCURRED:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

56:49.7    Ember_Media_Manager.frmMain    Ember_Media_Manager.frmMain.dgvMovies_CellDoubleClick    1    ERROR    dgvMovies_CellDoubleClick    "EXCEPTION OCCURRED:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

I tried re-installing, both over the top and clean, and nothing works. I am using Windows 8.1 x64


PS: Thanks for an awesome app, it's really great stuff Smile
Interface bug:
1. Add several movies to your storage device that's already been properly mapped in EMM.
2. Head back to EMM's GUI.
3. Select from the top menu 'Update Library'.
4. EMM correctly detects the new movies.
5. Click on Filters >> New.
6. EMM will correctly filter out and display just new movies.
7. Scrape the movies via Right Click >> (Re)Scrape Selected Movies >> Automatic (Force Best Match) >> All Items.
8. EMM correctly scrapes all the new movies.
9. While "Filters >> New" is still checked and only the new movies (which by now have been scraped) appear in EMM's GUI, try to perform CTRL-E or "Right Click >> Edit Movie".
Nothing will actually happen.

This used to work in the previous Public 09-05-2014 Beta Build.


Regards,

EDIT:
While posting here, it looks like metalbeast's findings here are also valid.

I actually can't edit any movies, not just the new ones I added with v23-08-2014 Beta.
Install VLC x86 if you can not edit movies.
Dan looking forward to trying new release. So just to double check we CANT use old settings? And not sure if missed it but did fanart.tv image scraping for tv get added?
