RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-01 (2016-08-01, 05:47)Edworld Wrote: When you recommend small batches, 50 a day? When I had to do my mates system, I set it up like this. Made a new Temp Root folder. Cut all movies from main root folder into Temp root folder. Made a Temp scrape folder. Cut 20 movies from Temp Root to Temp Scrape folder. MC was only pointing at the Temp Scrape folder. Scraped movies. Checked all present. Checked the General Filter for missing data, ie: plot, outline, rating, poster etc. (at this point, I only have the General filter enabled. Saves a bit of time) (for my friend) Then Renamed Movies and Folders. Finally, Cut all movies from Temp Scrape folder, and put them in the Main Root Movie Folder. .... Repeat and rinse..... This gives enough time between batches for IMDb and Google to ignore the web hits MC is doing. Or, You can choose TheMovieDb scraper, and do batches of 50 at a time. Why I did the above at 20 at a time, was to check for missing data in batches. It also served to teach my friend how to use Media Companion (he's bit tech handi-capped, hope he's not online....) Once all your movies are done, there shouldn't be a need to touch them again with MC, but if you are using MC to manage current movies and new movies, then I also suggest the following. In MC you can create profiles. The Default can be pointing at your Main Root Movie Folder(s). Create a new profile, just for scanning in new Movies. Go to Preferences -> Profiles and Commands tab. Enter a name for the new profile. Once you have more than one profile, a new menu appears beside Home Movies. You can switch between profiles from here. Switch to the new profile created, and change its Movie Folder to a Temp Scrape folder (whatever you want to call it). Then Scrape, check and when happy, Cut and paste it to the Main Movie folder. Hope this is of help. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2016-08-02 vbat99, No luck with a small badge either. Can you include IMDB Aspect Ratio in the batch update wizard? there is space under stars and to the right of title Thanks RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-02 (2016-08-02, 04:27)Edworld Wrote: vbat99, Done. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-02 New Release. Media Companion 3.657b This one has a few feature requests added, and a good lot of bug fixes. New:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, post up an Issue on Media Companion's site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.657b x86 & MC 3.657b x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2016-08-03 vbat99 Was able to scrape all movies from IMDB without issues!!!! A couple of minor issues: 1) Movie Preferences \ artwork If movies in folders , save artwork as: I can't select save as "fanart" and save as "posters" in this box. In scraper tab: Individual movie folder options: all movies are in folders is selected. 2) Common settings - display default subtitles - subtitles are shown in main browser regardless of setting Thanks for all the hard work!!! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 (2016-08-03, 00:57)Edworld Wrote: vbat99 Excellent news. Glad that part is now working as it should. (2016-08-03, 00:57)Edworld Wrote: A couple of minor issues: Hmmm, working for me. Selected All Movies are in Folders (allows Extrathumbs), then switch to Artwork tab, and was able select Save as 'Fanart.jpg', not '<moviename>-fanart.jpg' as well as the Poster option. Before selecting movie are in folders (or Use foldernames), this option on Artwork tab was grey'd out. (2016-08-03, 00:57)Edworld Wrote: 2) Common settings - display default subtitles - subtitles are shown in main browser regardless of setting Ok, this description is a bit misleading. If you rest the mouse over that option, a Tipbox is shown. Basically, this option states to only display the 'Default' subtitle language on the overlay of Fanart image. If unselected, it will display all subtitle languages found for the selected movie (can run off screen if this is selected, so the option for 'Default' is enabled, um, er, by default.

Can't get this to work, I am using windows 7 64, not really important, everything scrapes correctly (2016-08-03, 01:20)vbat99 Wrote: Ok, this description is a bit misleading. If you rest the mouse over that option, a Tipbox is shown. All my movies have subtitles in English and Spanish.... If I leave both subtitle boxes unchecked, It displays Sublang-eng If I select the first box, it displays sublang-eng, no sublang spa If i select the second box, I get sublang eng and sublang spa RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 (2016-08-03, 02:16)Edworld Wrote:Check you do not have 'Basic Save' option selected, as this saves as Fanart.jpg and Poster.jpg by default.(2016-08-03, 01:20)vbat99 Wrote: Hmmm, working for me.

Looks like I half did this. Added the options, forgot to add the logic in the procedure. Fix in place for the next release. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2016-08-03 Vbat99, I do have basic save checked RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 (2016-08-03, 04:11)Edworld Wrote: Vbat99, So that should already give you "fanart.jpg" and "poster.jpg" named image files. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2016-08-03 vbat99, scraping movies using MC's IMDB scraper, autoscrape artwork: all 3 checked. General tab: poster tab, preselect loading from TMDb - checked. So basically I want the poster to come from TMDb, yet it scrapes from fanart.tv The movie I am referring to is The General (1926) https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/961-the-general/images/posters What other option do I have if using MC's IMDB scraper, but want poster and possibly fanart from TMDb? RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 (2016-08-03, 04:51)Edworld Wrote: vbat99, Here we have the issue of clashing options. By default, without the Fanart.TV option selected, MC will scrape data from IMDb, and then use the poster priority option on where to get the Poster from first. If the first option fails, goes to second option. See Artwork tab, Movie Scraper Poster Priority. But, you can select which fanart.TV artwork to scrape. Click the 'Select Art' button below the 'Download from Fanart.Tv for during autoscrape'. You can unselect Poster and Fanart from fanart.tv. BTW, Fanart is always gotten from TMDb, not from IMDb. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2016-08-03 Another question about Fanart... If I scan using TMDB provided in Kodi, I get the first image in TMDb which I assume is based on votes (thumbs up) If I scrape using MC's scraper, in some instances it scrapes the 2nd or 4th image, not the first, How is this decided? You can try scraping A few good men and it scrapes the 4th image RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 (2016-08-03, 05:39)Edworld Wrote: Another question about Fanart... These sort of queries are invaluable to me. Next release will have Fanart and Posters shown in order of highest votes. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-08-03 Note: Know issue, MC 3.657b scrapes only a single episode and finishes. Fix in place, new build will be available in 12 hours. |
