RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-08-30 (2015-08-30, 05:26)marhutchy Wrote: Great update! I try... RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-01 New Release. Media Companion 3.628b & MC3.628b x64 Special note: 2nd QuickFix release for issue with tv episode renaming where wrong ShowTitle was saved to episode filename....plus couple of other fixes. Plenty of new features, fixes and improvements. First up. Checkedlistboxes on all Root movie folders. TV, Movies and Home Movies. 1. For TV Root folders, if unselected, Series from chosen root folder are removed from *List of Series Folders.* On any checked TV Root folder, user can right-click and select to add from chosen root folder. 2. Tv Series status on browser tab. Also two new TV filters to show *Ended* or *Continuing* series. For this to work properly, *Users MUST run Batch rescrape Wizard* Selecting Premiered & Series Status And finally, do a Refresh All (Premiered is required to fill a data field that MC has been missing for I don't know how long...) I look forward to hearing users thoughts and experiences. 3. Users wanting to know if they're running 32 or 64 bit builds, look at the Title bar of Media Companion. At the end of the Version number, you'll see 32bit or 64 bit. Also, added Help->About, listing past developers and build type. 4. Movies also gets new features. a. Studio Filter. b. If using XBMC TMDb scraper, users can now choose to download AKA titles from IMDB. So, Hope this fills some more blanks for users. As Always, post up discussion or Issues, and you'll get some sort of an answer. New:
Fixed:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, post up an Issue on Media Companion's site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC x86 3.628b & MC x64 3.628b Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - bobrap - 2015-09-02 Another great release, Rob. Any chance of getting the watched/unwatched filters to work like ended/continuing? Did the folder check boxes ever work using the space bar to select them or am I confusing this with a different program? Again, thanks for your hard work! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-02 I can check into watched/unwatched and see if i can make it work like series status. As for root folder checkboxes, didnt think about spacebar. Will see what can be done. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - bobrap - 2015-09-02 OK, thanks. I thought it already did that. Like I said, must be confusing it with another program. Just makes it easier than using a mouse to check/uncheck folders when you have a bunch. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-02 (2015-09-02, 03:05)bobrap Wrote: OK, thanks. I thought it already did that. Like I said, must be confusing it with another program. Just makes it easier than using a mouse to check/uncheck folders when you have a bunch. Well, I managed to add toggling of the CheckedListBox by spacebar. But, ain't no way to get watched/unwatched to filter the same as Series Status. Difference is we hide the complete series from the tvtreeview depending on series status, so that removes the series, seasons and episodes. For Watched/UnWatched, we'd need to reverse that order. Remove episode, then season, then series, and the code isn't playing ball. I'd really need to hack the code to pieces to get it running, and that will break things (it did in my quick testing). For now, I'd like to leave this alone. There's some other sections of code that I need to work on/complete. But I will add to feature request on Codeplex. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - bobrap - 2015-09-02 Thanks for considering it. Would sorting the list by watched/unwatched be an option?

I'll give it some thought. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - bobrap - 2015-09-02 Not to worry. Don't waste your time on it. Was just a thought anyway. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - marhutchy - 2015-09-02 This is puzzling me. You know in Kodi where we're able to link a movie to series because they're related? Can this be done in the movie's .nfo file and then be reflected in Kodi when it's scraped? I don't know if it's possible, but it just occurred to me. Like what tag would provide that information so Kodi understands? RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-02 (2015-09-02, 22:06)marhutchy Wrote: This is puzzling me. You know in Kodi where we're able to link a movie to series because they're related? I was going to say No!, but just done some testing and there is a Tag that XBMC/Kodi reads for linking a movie to a TV Series. Code: <showlink>Elementary</showlink> This works, as I just tested, but it could be problematic on how XBMC/Kodi stores the TV Series title. I'd need to test more with series like Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then there's the issue of where/how to instigate this in Media Companion. It would be neat to get this info from TVDB, but again, is this available? And series titling. Darn it. More quick testing. We can use the Show Title from the series nfo, and save that to <showlink> in the movie's nfo. That works. Still, need to figure out where to build this in MC. I'm feeling that the Alternative Editor is the best place. The main Movie Browser tag is getting very congested, and would be impossible to find a gap to display this.

You know in Kodi where we're able to link a movie to series because they're related? I see. You've really thought about it I don't think this info is available at TVDB. However TMDB and IMDb both have info that comes close to giving us the info. On TMDB, under Movie Facts, there is the Part of the tag. For example, for the Stargate movie, it's Part of the Stargate SG-1 Collection. On IMDb, the Connections gives us the Followed by tag. Same movie, we get the Followed by: Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods (1997) (TV Episode), which is Stargate SG-1's pilot episode. So, probably while scraping the movie, get the related info. In the case of scraping the related info from IMDb, you would definitely have to do some splitting of the string and then search for series. Just a thought RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-03 Thanks for the info. Should be doable from IMDb. Tmdb, need to see if that's part of the data they give to us. if it is, then might be able to mod xbmc tmdb scraper also. Will do some investigating. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - vbat99 - 2015-09-03 Well, after searching and following links, this isn't going to eventuate. The data from TMDB and IMDB, isn't reliable enough to simply link to a Tv Series. While it may work for one movie, ie your example Stargate, it doesn't work for other movies. The Transporter for example. TMDB does not link this to Transporter: The Series. Neither does IMDB without first listing the other movies in this collection. Another example would be Blue Thunder movie, and then Blue Thunder TV Series. There's no linking data on TMDB (there is on IMDB) To make it part of the scrape data, it needs to be solid and reliable. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - marhutchy - 2015-09-03 That's true. Okay. So the tag Code: <showlink>Elementary</showlink> I mean, when we select the dropdown we would get a list of all our series currently cached in MC, and we link them ourself. |
