I personally have set "Thumb" because the images appear very small in XBMC.



Exrafanarts are for background/fanart slide shows in XBMC and need the same/best resolution like normal fanarts.

By the way a few version back it would have al the fanart tagged by default, and now they no longer do. So have to manual tag each one that I want, which is usually almost all of them.

If you have enabled the option "download all Fanarts as extrathumbs in size..." for autoscraping AND set the same size for manual scraping all Fanarts are auto-checked while manually scraping.

If there is a "&" in the <title> tag, then the movie.nfo isn't recognized and therefore ember changes extension to info.

Changes:

Code:

microsoft -> wvc1 (should work for all skins)
v_mpeg2 -> mpeg2video (should work for all skins)
3iv1,3iv2,3iv3 etc -> 3iv2 should work for all skins but confluence)
divx 3, divx 5 -> divx (should work for all skins)

Will commit to github later

& is not XML compatible. use this for &:

btw. Ember never save &, only &amp;
this is a selfmade bug

i cant find where to check if i want a extrafanart folder to be scraped in the movie folder.
i can only make the extrathumbs to be created.
if i do this via xbmc it will create an extrafanart folder.

thanks

Yeah cleaned the library and removed the source and re-added it. Tested 3 single part and 3 multipart films, fanart is there for the single parts, and blank for the multiparts (just the default xbmc wallpaper). It's not reading the poster either on closer examination.

I found a post in this thread that said <movie>-fanart.jpg doesn't work with multipart films and you have to use fanart.jpg, is this correct?

Any ideas on how to fix films with multi parts, from the look of it, ember is scraping them incorrectly.

Thanks.

Extrafanart is not supported by Ember. You can set the extrathumbs to original quallity and rename the folder.

typing in it automagically searches and shows the movies based on what the dropdown is selected, the dropdown needs at least ONE more option and that is character, I wanted to filter out all james bond movies, but NONE of the movies have james bond, james, bond, or any combination in the movie name... since james bond is played by several actors I cant search for them either, soooooo... character filter is VERY useful =)

(2013-05-07, 05:23)RonnieSunde Wrote: the search dropdown should have producer as well.
the search could also search for people in general (actor, director and producer)

Extrafanart is not supported by Ember. You can set the extrathumbs to original quallity and rename the folder.

Will add that AFTER the new version of the scrapers is finished.

i've tested again the old bug with the overlay icon for a language.
Occurs with all kind of audio codecs. Doesn't matter if the movie has an mp3, Ac3 or DTS audio stream (i haven't any movies with other audio codecs)

1.start ember.
2.refresh movie list.
3.if i click a movie with only one audio stream, then the icon shown are correct: without overlay (in my case: english audio).
4.if i click a movie with somekind of audio codecs (2) (e.g AC3) then ember shows the correct overlay icon (this is the normal behaviour)
.....then ALL movies with AC3 stream shows the overlay icon, despite of movies have only ONE.
5.the same with other audio codecs.

For short: the first time the overlay icon appers in Ember, are shown for everykind of movie with that audio codec.
It's an error of rendering?

===========================================================================================

I did some more experimenting and I can't get it to work no matter what combination of settings I use. I double checked what is happening and it looks like TV shows are working fine, it only affects movies. I get that error for every movie in my library. I have a flat library structure, so all the movies, nfo's, posters and fanart are all together in the same folder rather than each individual movie and associated files being in their own folders. This setup has worked for me for a long time and continues to work under EMM 1.3.0.9 and XBMC 12.1. Something is being read by EMM because the movie names are correct rather than just file names and the scraped info is actually there if I double-click on any entry, but EMM is not registering any information existing in the main list. I also did a test re-scrape on an existing movie and confirmed the files themselves are actually being updated on my server but EMM still throws that same error and still will not register any info or posters/fanart as existing, even though it just successfully scraped them. Anything that can be done to fix this would be greatly appreciated, mainly just because I'm too lazy to readily put in the time to rearrange everything. Thanks in advance!

Please upload your Settings.xml and AdvancedSettings.xml with your standard setting and upload a screenshot of the movie folder.

Here is a screenshot of the movie list from EMM, Screenshot and from the folder the movies are stored in Screenshot. In the EMM screenshot you can see this was a first time scrape on a fresh install of EMM. The metadata info is there, but the movies list does not register anything existing. The poster and fanart tabs also don't show anything. If I do a manual rescrape then the files on the server will be updated but EMM still throws that same error and still will not register the different things existing.

Here is the settings file Settings.xml, there does not seem to be an Advanced Settings file being generated right now by 1.3.0.12. I have also included the Settings.xml and AdvancedSettings.xml files from the working 1.3.0.9 install I have now.
