Window Control Problem
Just noticed sometimes if I am navigating throughout the gui, and the edit movie box is visible, sometimes if I click on the main EMM window, the edit movie window is set behind the main window.
This is a problem because 1) the edit movie window doesn't have an entry in the windows task bar so I cant click on it, and 2) the main emm window is blocked waiting for the edit movie window to be closed. I can get back to edit movie window by control tabbing back to the main emm task and it then becomes visible.
Maybe the edit movie window can be forced always on top of the main window AND given visibility in taskbar to avoid this. I have seen it happen 2 or 3 times over the past few days to me.
Unable To Fix Incorrect Movie
With the old bug where selecting a movie while emm was updating all movies, my "Themla & Louise" got incorrectly tagged as "The Dark Knight". I am now trying to fix this but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. A few problems I notice. I tried "Rescape IMDB" but its still "The dark knight". I tried update media, but still the same. I then went in and did a "manual edit". I cleared out all of the xml completely. This did two things.
1) After saving the xml file, the edit movie didn't get repopulated with ... well blank entries, it stayed at the old values.
2) When exiting the "edit movie" dialog, now I do see the blank entries.
3) Now after updating media, it gets correctly tagged as "Thelma & Louise".
4) The fan art didn't get updated though, I had to go in and manually do this, do I need to enable some setting in the settings section. I am just worried that many actions like redownloading information for a movie may require many specific settings to be made in the settings section.
So my question here is, how can someone fix an incorrectly tagged movie. The GUI seems to force someone into staying with the current IMDB id maybe or something like this. I am sure you will know what caused these two problems, unable to change incorrect movie, and the gui not updating after clearing out the xml.
Studio Flags Section
OK This might be a feature request, but again just getting it out there before I forget
I am using a collection of studio flags that I have downloaded from these forums, so for example using dolbytruehd shows a lovely truehd icon in xbmc now.. I am hoping all of these coming changes to the new aeon skin will be standardised, so I am hoping emm will also show the icons in its gui. Currently it doesn't show the icon for dolbytruehd for example, but xbmc does. And one last feature request here, it would be great to have a dropdown of things like studio, audio format, video format etc of available icons. For example I got the dolby digital flag string wrong a few times, but after many attempts I found out how to get it. Would have been nice to have a drop down but this might be alot of work for a simple studio flags feature. Something for the future I guess.
Selecting Fan Art
I am trying to select all of the highest quality fan art images for various movies. Maybe one extra button in the fan art downloader for something like "Select ALL of " and then a drop down to select "Highest", "Medium", "Low" etc. I am sure many will use this to download all highest / medium resolution images
OK another feature request but its an important one I think.
I actually just manually selected maybe 10 of the highest quality fan art for, again "The Dark Knight", and highlighted the one I wanted as fan art. I expected the other 9 to get downloaded to extra thumbs... but they didn't. I have a feeling this was because i highlighted the image that I already had previously as my main fan art. Maybe the code logic then skipped the saving of the rest of the files to my thumbs section becasue I just redid it and highlighted another default fanart image and it worked fine.
I'm also a little concerned because I feel for every movie I try to do this, its going to go and download ALL of the images which is going to be ALOT. My broadband limit isn't very high
Would be nice to have a gui improvement to the no doubt lovely code behind the image downloading. In my case I want to be able to just download all high quality images, or better yet would be to do like the xbmc gui, to download a thumbnail of each image, and have checkboxes underneath this to select high, medium, low etc. That way the interface would take up alot less space visually, and also download less data for the initial selection process.
Just another one while I found it, while downloading a large selection of fanart, and when the download is complete, i need to exit and reenter the movie details to see the extrathumbs. This area should be repopulated when the extrathumbs are downloaded.
Extra Thumbs Navigation
I moved some of my extra thumbs up / down to select the ones I wanted. This worked fine for the first movie, but I noticed after doin this for another movie, ember media manager got things wrong. My list now shows numbers in the order
10
12
14
2
2
3
4
etc
etc
When exiting emm and going back into this movie, the list is shown as
1
10
11
12
13
2
3
4
You need to test the up and down buttons to get the changing of thumb numbers right when there are lots of them.
Again I am just trying to help this already excellent tool. Looking forward to seeing it stable and natural to use before it can then do TV Shows.
Thanks alot.
