<movie>.nfo was already there...

What I did:
Opened up r10, ... set options, Frodo, Movie Source ...

opened up TOOLS, SETS , .. added "Operation Pacific" to the John Wayne Collection, ... closed Sets, .. closed EMM...

this is a stacking problem with your naming style. If you use .cd1 instead of -cd1 it will working.
But I try to add this style in next release.


RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Legion455 - 2013-03-23

I did have them named <movie>.cd1 , but someone posted to change it to ... <movie>-cd1

Legion "confused in Louisville"


Add this styleHuh? All I want is to name my files such that EMM will work, and XBMC will work.

Another question than is ... "Is EMM r10 working correctly for multipart movies?" Somehthing tells me that there a 'bug' in da house! Smile

thanks!


RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - &gt;&gt;X&lt;&lt; - 2013-03-23

It does work I tested it yesterday before I posted Smile

There is a slight difference though between what XBMC creates during export and what Ember creates, XBMC drops the separator between the file name and CD1 CD2 etc but ember keeps it.

So using

Premium.Rush.cd1.mkv
Premium.Rush.cd2.mkv

Ember creates

Premium.Rush..nfo
Premium.Rush.-fanart.jpg
Premium.Rush.-poster.jpg

XBMC creates

Premium.Rush.nfo
Premium.Rush-fanart.jpg
Premium.Rush-poster.jpg

Just thought I'd mention it Blush


RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Legion455 - 2013-03-23

so .... multipart movies should have the format:

<movie>.cd1 ??

PHP Code:
some changes to multi-disc movie stacking in frodowhich, while a pain in the ass to adjust tois nicer moving forward.

if 
you have:

<
moviename>-cd1.mpg
<moviename>-cd2.mpg
<moviename>-cd3.mpg

the rest of your files should just be 
<movienamewithout the -cdx parte.g.:
<
moviename>.nfo
<moviename>-poster.jpg
<moviename>-fanart.jpg

Both EMM 
and XBMC look for this convention now. As with my recommendation to VoIPgrab a copy of Bulk Rename Utility and it will help you quickly find those files and strip out the cdx parts as needed

you can see why I'm somewhat confused at this point. So far, it seems r10 can handle <movie>.cd1, etc .... but not <movie>-cd1 , contrary to what deh2k7 posted.

Are far as movie naming is concerned no hes not wrong that is also supported in EMM and XBMC.

XBMC can handle quite a few ways of stacking and I should imagine EMM handles the same default stacking available XBMC?

RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Legion455 - 2013-03-23

hmmmm, ok man, thanks for the help,... I'll just use <movie>.cd1 for the time being.

I would suggest Norton is the virus here, not emm, nothing to worry about




btw. if someone has ANY info about my previous question, i would appreciate (some xml editor where you can bulk edit xmls?)

RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - juan71287 - 2013-03-24

Hey all. Is there a way to prevent EMM from renaming my movies? Also, is there a way to prevent it from putting ".bluray" at the end of my movie file?

Thanks.

emm don't auto-rename movies by default i think, but you can check in settings - modules - renamer - automaticly rename file during...
for the second question, at the same place you have: Files Pattern






Er, for my previous question about bulk xml editor regarding video sources (bluray) i think that i don't need it anymore
Because if i'm not mistaken, video cources: blurays, hdtv etc are not at all written in xml nfos, rather they are placeholders, and emm load them from file names, same as xbmc.
Correct me if i'm wrong

Can someone take a look at why EMM does not seem to want to scrape this properly? So far it's only the Lord of the Rings movies that I'm seeing this particular behavior with...


RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - orbtwin - 2013-03-24

i'm trying to fill the technical language box for my movies. Normally the encoded mkv flags has the appropiate language field, altough it's easy correct that info with mktoolnix, or remove some subs.
otherwise for the normally *.avi or *.ogm or *.mpg i don't know how to stamp in the tag file that info.
in Ember i can edit the languages for movies and episodes, but are overwrite with clicking refresh button, then the *.nfo lost the information.

somebody knows how to "permanently" preserve that info?...with a tag video editor or such?
will be viable change the *.nfo to a "read only" attribute?
i need some type of help, because i'm gonna fill +2000 movies and +80 tv-shows ...Big Grin


EDIT: well...if i protect the *. nfo with "read only" attribute the info are preserved, otherwise if i refresh the button in ember in the ember window for the tech info those information dissapears, otherwise if i reload F5 appears again. The trick will be protect the *.nfo?...wich future changes i need to add at the details movie? at the moment I can think of none.
it's annoying...it's normal behaviour...or i'm crazy paranoic obsesive Confused

Orbtwin,

What I have done which works well is convert the .avi or .mpg to .mkv with mkvtoolnix. When you do that, you can specify the video and audio language. This will now be a permanent part of the file, and Ember and XBMC will pick it up without any problems. I know that doing this is a pain if you have a large amount of movies to go through, but it is worth it.

Regards,

Bart

OMG !! ...
knew of the existence of this possibility, but its a PAIN, PAIN!. too many movies, too many episodes to transcode into mkv ... can be done in batch mode also i know but, would be a mess.
otherwise thanks, thank for your response.

Talking about the possibility of "protect" the *.nfo: wich limitations or problems could i meet?...somekin of programs hang up? bsod,...?? or nothing at all.
thx again!!.
