Could it work to put a file with the movie name in the folder?
The rar files have really strange names downloded
Hi,
I think you can fool ME into scraping the info and such but you risk fooling XBMC too. In other words: XBMC might try to play the "fake"file instead of the movie inside the rar resulting in an error.
Just out of curiosity: what would be your argument not to rename the files?
The tools in the link(s) can alter file names and extensions (so .r01 could be renamed to .rar)

Just thought that it might be quicker.
Havent had time to look at the tools but will get them.
Thank you for taking the time.
Will report back on the outcome when done

RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - Octagon1 - 2014-08-22
Here again.
So i didnt take the easy way. Dont have the time to sitt at the computer renaming my movies.
Did it this way for my movies. Sittning in front of the tv earley morning with my 1 year old using phone as remote i downloded the info manually for the movies that xbmc wasnt able to find. Took some mornings but now its done. But ill have to learn how to use that block renamer because xbmc dont find Any of my series so they all have to be renamed.
But that ill do someother time. Play the series from files for now.
Thanks for all the help

No time to sit an evening behind your PC but time enough to spend multiple mornings behind your TV
Well, whatever works for you 
Have fun with XBMC!

Hi...followed these instructions on the MediaElch website;
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kvibes/mediaelch
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mediaelch
All seems to work fine until I get to the install and I get;
sjswallow@Queeg:~$ sudo apt-get install mediaelch
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mediaelch
Any ideas or is it just a downed server at the moment?
RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - hstegeman - 2014-08-25
On the website from mediaelch I read that version 2.2 is upcoming,
when will this version be available for downloading?

Hi,
What version of Ubuntu do you use? I can only find packages for Trusty. If you use an older version you may have to resort to building from source.

RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - JesusOnEez - 2014-08-25
I'm using 12.04 at the moment. I'm not familiar with what number goes with what nickname. They all sound like names of ale's to me!
RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - black_eagle - 2014-08-26
12.04 is Precise, 14.04 is Trusty. _J@n_ is correct that there is only a trusty package available in that repo, so yeah you would either have to build from source, or bite the bullet and upgrade to 14.04 *shock*
RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - JesusOnEez - 2014-08-26
OK...I'm a bit loath to do that as it took me a month of Sundays getting SAB, CouchPotato and SickBeard working on that system (I'm no Linux expert...I'd barely even call myself vaguely familiar with it) to my satisfaction, and I do hear that doing a clean install from 12.04 to 14.04 is the best bet.
I'll have a think about it...thanks for your input.

OK, With the risk of going a bit Off Topic now: you might want to follow the following sequence to upgrade to 14.04:
Create an image from your current system (I use Image for Linux from Terabyte Software for that)
Do an in-place upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04
Test your new distro
{if
You like distro}
{then
Stick with it
Install mediaelch as per instructions from kvibes}
{else
Restore image
Build mediaelch from source} #not that difficult

Try "MediaElch" instead of mediaelch. Capitalization matters in Linux.

True. But the package name is actually mediaelch
RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - JesusOnEez - 2014-08-27
I'll take the plunge in a couple of weekends (stag do this weekend). Thanks for the help chaps.
