RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - retro83 - 2013-05-02
Anybody else struggling with constant 500 and 503 errors from TMDB?
Apologies if this has come up recently, struggling to search with the short terms.
Here's a couple of traces from Wireshark:

read the error message and try visiting the http://www.themoviedb.org website to see if it works, vimm can't read information from a website that's not online. ^^
Hint: 503 Service Unavailable
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - retro83 - 2013-05-02
Already checked that, the site itself is online and the search functional, I thought perhaps the app is sending a malformed string in the get request due to symbols in the film name or similar.
500 or 503 from a web API can sometimes mean 'you are sending me stuff I can't understand'
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-02
Odd, the website isn't working for me.
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - retro83 - 2013-05-02
Okay, site is now dead - I swear I checked it! I even grabbed the exact title from the page it brought up in case any weird chars had ended up in my movie filename. Also been trying to scrape this for 2 or 3 days with no success.
Must be just a problem their end then.

@bsotak: Strictly speaking, 1038 is not 1080, but maybe I can make it say 1038p
@rpoenaru:
To reset vimm to factory settings, you can throw away these files:
/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Preferences/com.vidalvanbergen.vimediamanager-alpha.plist
/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/ViMediaManager/ (The .xml files, the cache and episode guide folders, and whatever else you may want to get rid off)

This is debatable. If the used visual area is unchanged (only black bars are removed), it's still considered a 1080p video. The actual height of the video is unchanged, useless areas are simply removed for compression. This makes sense when you consider that in this case a displayed 1038p and full 1080p video would be identical. In addition, 1038 isn't the only other valid option. There are several others based on the actual aspect ratio of the movie.
It would be impossible to detect that, though. Essentially you'd have to trust that videos that are approximately 1080p are what they appear to be.

Just out of curiosity - how much space are you saving by ripping out 42 pixels? (ok technically 80,640) especially if they're just black as they should offer the maximum compression that you can get, e.g. pure, unchanging black.

I have installed the latest nightly build just to check and everything works fine, even the clean function. It is very weird. Whatever was causing it, was fixed.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Right. I guess I was just hoping for an option to allow some variability on the 1080p resolution. All I'm doing is removing black bars so there is no wasted compression for black space. If you gave an option to allow up to X lines less, that would be great. I know the source and what I encode, but it bothers me that it marks everything as 720p, when I know it is really 1080p -- only the black area is removed.

Try the latest nightly and let me know how it goes:

RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - Msan - 2013-05-04
Hi, just tried the latest nightly and just now noticed that trakt.tv support is in there now (great!)..
But it would be nice if the "Marked as Watched" option in the popup menu would also update the watched status on trakt.tv and not just via a separate menu item
I need to mark a ton as watched and since you can't select more than one movie, every step eliminated saves time.
Cheers!
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-04
Thyne will be done!
For now i'll keep the trakt.tv menu around, but as long as you've set the proper name and password, ViMM will mark a movie as seen or unseen on trakt.tv when you mark your local files as 'watched'/'unwatched' starting at the next nightly. ^^
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - steve1977 - 2013-05-05
Thanks for the development, appears this is great development. Two quick questions:
1) Does ViMM catches the media resolution (1080p, 720p, etc.), aspect ratio and similar media info. I remember that this was in development, but not sure whether it ever happened:
2) I see the watched sync with trakt.tv, which is great. Would also be great to sync the "personal lists" from trakt.tv: ideally by creating a "tag" for each movie. For example, a movie on my trakt.tv personal list "best scifi movies" would then have the equivalent tag in ViMM on the movies that I own from this list.
Thanks in advance for considering and keep up the great development!!!
RE: [MAC] ViMediaManager - Media Manager for Mac OS X! - MariusTh86 - 2013-05-05
1) It does, thanks to mediainfo. ^^
2) Interesting, i'll take a look at it.
