Ember Media Manager 1.9.2 x64 - Build from 2021-01-16: Download

Installs the new version like any other version in the old directory so that files that are no longer required are deleted!

Ember Media Manager is portable. That means all settings and temporarly files will be stored in the installation directory. For this reason, the software should not be installed under "C: \ Programs", as admin rights are required in this directory so that files can be changed.

Read this:

Why is the version now called 1.9.x? I would like to finally leave the core API, which has been expanded again and again for 10 years, behind me / us and continue with the complete overhaul, which has remained more or less untouched since around April for ... reasons. Contrary to the previous statement that everything will be new in Ember 2.0, the current status should be released in a stable version, possibly also supported by the community, as Ember 2.0 stable, the core API-revised version will then be called Ember 3.0.

Roadmap for the next 2 months up to Ember 2.0:
  • new TVDB scraper for the new paid TVDb-API
  • fix all known bugs from the bug tracker that are tagged with Ember 2.0 fix
  • new bugs (there will be some for sure)
  • if possible, add Videobuster.de again as a trailer scraper for German trailers
  • if allowed, create an addon for Serienfans.org that allows tracking of series and new episodes (to be clarified)
  • no more adding new features

Known bugs in 1.9.2:
  • can't select a result in TVDb search dialog (workaround: set the TVDb ID manually)

Changelog 1.9.2:
  • fixed: renamer can't rename movies/tv shows
  • fixed: TVDb only get english images, localized images are missing
  • fixed: it's not possible to restore original/preferred sub images (season images, extrafanarts and extrathumbs) in the "Select Images" dialog
  • fixed: trailer scraping / get preferred trailer (still same selection like before)
  • added: parallel YouTube trailer scraping (much faster now, thanks ralfonat)
  • changed: new release download link

Changelog 1.9.1:
  • fixed: bug with language XMLs in last release
  • fixed: DavesTrailerPage scraper crashes because of an outdated SSL/TLS version
  • fixed: with some regional settings it was not possible to get the ReleaseDate, AiredDate and Premiered from scrapers
  • fixed: the renamer does not remove leading dots in folder and dile names (ends in hidden folders and files)
  • fixed: the renamer does not use SortTitle and OriginalTile of a tv show for episode renaming
  • added: tv show "Status" mapping
  • added: Videobuster.de trailer scraper
  • added: "Language" column to Theme/Trailer select dialog

  • fixed: crash while getting preferred AllSeasons-Landscape
  • changed: new dialog for Trailer and Theme scraping (same dialog)

  • added: Module "Mapping Manager"; adds mapping managers for "Certifications", "Countries" and "Studios" to the Tools menu
  • added: Youtube Theme Scraper (don't use it for auto-scraping, to many unusable results, instead use the "Search on YouTube" function in the dialog)
  • added: auto file backup method (corrupt settings XMLs will now be numbered each time a new XML has been needed)
  • added: flag $NOW to general pattern in Movie Export module
  • removed: Outline in OFDb scraper (better results with the build-in "use Plot as Outline" function)
  • removed: country abbreviation in IMDb scraper (can now be controlled via country mapping manager)

Hi Dan, I upgraded to the new version and found an issue that causes ember to crash with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
I made some tests with the settings and discovered that if scraping Collection ID in the TMDB scraper is enabled and the movie is not part of a collection, it will crash. If it is part of a collection, it will scrape fine.
Hi @DanCooper Just wondering if you had any updates as to when the episode ordering metadata scrape change will be implemented (as per the last post in the other thread).

Thanks for all your hard work so far.

Thx, has been fixed, new version 1.4.91.1 is online.

No, only bugfixes, no new features for this branch.
Thank you for the update Smile
Thank you!!!!!
Huzzah!  Install worked and a few test scraps went okay too.  Only complaint is that stupid trakt.tv thing.  Would be nice if that module was left off so new users aren't immediately greeted by an error message.
Thanks for the update!!!

Everything works great, except I still can't get the manual entry of imdb# for tvshows to work.  No matter what imdb# I type in (with or without leading TT), it can't find it.  What am I missing?

Yes! I've changed the module type to not been enabled as default for a next release.

It's a bug. I'll fix that today.
Thanks for the update Smile So does this mean I am able to build from the 1.4.8.0_alpha_24 branch for myself?

I still see this error when I have Collection ID enabled for movies (TMDB) - even with 1.4.91.1 installed.
Tried three different movies same error.
