- it would read movie plot/info/etc. from themoviedb.org instead of imdb
- will allow to select the preferred language of the above like it does for tv shows
- would use the great image overlay feature for tv shows also
- wouldn't be so restrictive in how one has to organize his movies/shows (xbmc and i.e. media companion find your stuff no matter how you organized your directory structure)

gyrene2083 Wrote:Great with the filename tagging thing!!!
But back to MIP and the tvshow thing. It's still having a problem, I was able to add Naruto Shippuden, now when I try to add Naruto it creates an nfo in the season 2 folder which is the same one it created for Naruto Shippuden.

Here's my folder structure;

D:\Anime\Naruto\Season 1 ( all the way through 9)
\Naruto Shippuden\Season 1 (all the way through 4)

Initially before moving to MIP I used Media Companion, and I initially had my folders setup like this

D:\Anime\Naruto\Season 1(all the way through 9)
\Shippuden(all the way through 4)

I didn't see the need to create a separte Parent directory for Shippuden since it was Naruto anyway, MC would pick up on that and append the Parent Name to the child folder, so it would read it as Naruto Shippuden. For some reason MIP wasn't doing that for me. So I took out the Shippuden child folder and made it a parent with the name Naruto Shippuden. Now MIP was able to see that and name everything accordingly.

The problem is that now when I point it to Naruto it just creates an nfo file named tvshow.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tvshow xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <title>Season 2 Introduction</title>
  <rating />
  <season>-1</season>
  <episode>0</episode>
  <displayseason>-1</displayseason>
  <displayepisode>-1</displayepisode>
  <episodeguideurl />
  <plot />
  <thumb />
  <mpaa />
  <watched />
  <id />
  <tvdbid>81544</tvdbid>
  <premiered />
  <studio />
</tvshow>

The tvdbid 81544 is the same one that was created for the problem I had with Naruto Shippuden and again, it creates this file in the Season 2 folder. Any ideas? Seems like I get all the good problems, lol...

Error
I am using the lastest build to by the way on Vistax64

Ok I got it working now. I cleared out all the cache again, and this time I deleted the temp files. It's weird but it's working.

That's all it says, the other thing is that everytime I restart MIP, it asks to restart the process of Loading TV Shows again.

hotzenpl0tz Wrote:I just switched to MIP because I needed something that works on linux. Before I go on with things I noticed I have to say one thing: the app is very good indeed, most of the functionality I need is there already and working quite good with wine (although the performance of the app GUI wise pretty much sucks here with compiz and my intel card - switching the theme for example takes about 5 seconds is is very sluggish - this translates to most of the GUI).

Things I noticed:

- The most annoying thing was the way the precaching works - for every item it downloads it opens and then afterwars closes a new popup window showing the progess and activates it. That means there is no way to let it work in the background because every 1 or 2 seconds a new window pops up and takes focus. I would think it would be better if there was one window that is activated at the beginning, shows a progress bar for the whole operation (it knows how many movies there are, so take that number and go one by one ?) and shows the individual progress just as it does atm in seperate windows as well in that same window. That way I can minimise it to the background and open it up if I want to know the status.

- The "how many -whatever- do you want to download?" boxes don't seem to work here, don't know if that is a bug in wine ? The input boxes aren't clickable here.

- The app doesn't seem to remember the size I last set it to on startup.

Other than those and some occasional crashes due to exceptions (always not reproducible unfortunately, maybe having to do with the way I access my media from a server that shuts down it's harddrives after some minutes of inactivity and the way those are mounted into my filesystem) I am very pleasantly surprised - good job!

gyrene2083 Wrote:Ok I believe it is working now, my question is it supposed act as it's the first time to Load the TVShows? I keep getting prompted with Click on 'Load TV Shows' to start...

I would think I would have to do that once and that would be it. Now it appears that I have to do it every time I click on tvshows.

As more and more content gets into tmdb (which is my shortname for themoviedb.org) it will become the default source, it's actually much easier to get that data then imdb's list files.

Overlay for TV Shows is very easy to add, it's a modular component that with just a few changes can run against anything, or even be a standalone app (I did create a one off of that already.)
