RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - netsailor - 2018-01-09 Thanks, I will try it and provide feedback. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-18 New Release. Media Companion 3.693b **Few tweaked options and Bug Fixes.** New: Fixed:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, create a Ticket on Media Companion's SourceForge site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.693b x86 & x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - RonnieG3 - 2018-01-19 Hey Rob - question for you: Is there a way to download all available extrafanart for a show? I'm using The Alienist in this example. If I rescrape or Batch Rescrape on this show, I'm only getting the one fanart and the one extrafanart. I can select the TMDb Fanart and see the additional art available, but if I select one it just replaces the one main fanart. I'm sure I'm missing something but can't for the life of me see it. Is there a way to have all or some auto downloaded to the extrafanart folder? If not, can that become an option? Thanks in advance, buddy!! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2018-01-19 vbatt99, I believe this is the first time i've seen this error Scraping Title: Baby Driver Movie Body Scraped OK HD Tags Added OK Error with H:\Movies (Bluray)\Baby Driver (2017)\Baby Driver (2017)(Bluray).nfo An error was encountered while trying to add a scraped Actor Illegal characters: ["] in path.

Gidday Ronnie Sorry for late reply, been busy with Chores (wife having me paint the house) As for ExtraFanart for this series. You need to ensure you've selected Download ExtraFanart and set the quantity. To get these you will need to run the Batch Wizard and select Extra Fanart from the Download Missing Artwork section. This is the only way to download any extra Fanart to the extrafanart folder. Now I see that TVDb only has two images available as Fanart, TMDb has Three images. And scraping the series from TMDb seems to have an issue with getting and setting the image filename. So I'll look into that for the next release. Hope this is of help. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-19 (2018-01-19, 02:58)Edworld Wrote: vbatt99, First time I've seen that too, and can reproduce. On the plus side, MC continued scraping after this error. And it's a data entry error on TMDb side. I see other names with AKA are show as Mark 'Boylee' Boyle, not in Quote marks. I'll see if I can put a check and fix in place for this for the future. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - mata7 - 2018-01-20 i don't think trailers are working on 693b, all movies shows no trailer found thanks RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-20 (2018-01-20, 11:05)mata7 Wrote: i don't think trailers are working on 693b, all movies shows no trailer found Working OK here. Can you confirm you have a file with <moviename>-trailer.<extn> with the movie. ie: Movie -> Young Adult (2011).mkv trailer -> Young Adult (2011)-trailer.mp4 RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - mata7 - 2018-01-21 sorry i mean the new scraped movies so i cant download the trailer because is grey out, the ones that i scraped before they show they have trailer here is a example you will see that the trailer is grey out RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-21 (2018-01-21, 01:47)mata7 Wrote: sorry i mean the new scraped movies so i cant download the trailer because is grey out, the ones that i scraped before they show they have trailer That button has three stages. 1. No Trailer present (also means no trailer url was scraped for selected movie) 2. Download Trailer (Trailer not present, but url found for selected movie) 3. Play Trailer (Trailer present, doesn't matter if url was or wasn't found for selected movie) In the last build I corrected the action of this button, as it didn't correctly function for the 1st stage, it only showed stage 2 or 3. And, if there was not a url, then clicking on Download Trailer, would fail to get url or trailer. I could alter this to get url and download Trailer, therefore excluding stage 1, if that is the preferred way users wish this button to act. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - mata7 - 2018-01-21 i honestly understand half of what you say my english is not good, all i can say is that the build before this one i was able to manually press that grey button and dowload any trailer, anyways thanks RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-21 (2018-01-21, 09:23)mata7 Wrote: i honestly understand half of what you say my english is not good, all i can say is that the build before this one i was able to manually press that grey button and dowload any trailer, anyways thanks It's all good. I'll revert this code for the next release. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-21 (2018-01-19, 02:58)Edworld Wrote: vbatt99, Fix in place for next release. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Lee Thompson - 2018-01-21 v3.6.9.3 (x64) Windows 10 Enterprise Edition First, thanks for writing this program, I'm using it to build NFO files for later KODI import. I organize my media in a way that KODI and most other media managers have trouble with and at least with change movie I can fix the ones it can't figure out. Out of the ones I've tried, yours gets it right more often than the rest. My general structure is: Code: GENRE/GROUP (or) TITLE/YEAR-TITLE (e.g. Comedy/Cabin Boy/1994-Cabin Boy) There can be modifiers after TITLE like (Subtitled) etc. For some films that need a 'forced order' (like the Star Wars) films, it gets more complex: Code: #-YEAR-TITLE (e.g. 04-1977-A New Hope) Issues:
Requests:
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-01-22 (2018-01-21, 23:26)Lee Thompson Wrote: v3.6.9.3 (x64) Gidday Lee That is an impressive arrangement, and I am glad you've found MC can handle the majority of it for you. A concern that rises is having the year at the beginning of the filename. Now, if you set MC to use Foldername for Scraping, and have the year at the end of the folder name, ie: [/b]A New Hope (1977)[/b], you can still have the same structure for your filename as you currently have. Where having the year at the beginning fails is with movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and other movies like this. The norm is year of the movie behind the title, and in brackets. This ensures that the year is found easily, and does not cause issues with movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey etc. Now, in regards to your issues: Quote: I've noticed if there's more than around 200 films in a given folder a couple things happen. 1) Sometimes it will assign a random imdbid to a few dozen films 2) It will just do the "This movie could not be identified" entry.IMDb scraping is not great. In fact, after many scrapes from IMDb, their site assumes MC's calls to their page is a Bot-Attack. We have tried to get around this, but it is hit and miss on how many successful scrapes are done before IMDB defaults to a non-descript page. This is where MC starts getting Random IMDBId's returned and incorrect movies are scraped, till the This movie could not be identified occurs. It is recommended to scrape with TMDb instead, but the naming convention you have currently may cause further issues. Quote:If I use any batch rescrape options, regardless of settings, it will remove any existing art. Instead I have to exit MediaCompanion, delete all the "This movie could not be identified" NFOsYou can't batch rescrape Not identified movies, as the core data, IMDBId etc is incorrect or invalid. Batch rescrape is to update data, or try to get missing data, for Valid movies in Media Companion. Quote:It appears to not be scraping the IMDB plot keywords at all.Correct. Seems IMDb has made some changes, I'll get that fixed for the next release. Your Requests
I can add an option to disable saving of these nfo's, but to be fair, how will you know that a movies failed to scrape or was unidentifiable?
This function is available already, though it will scan every movie root drive for valid nfo's on start of Media Companion, it will not save this database of close. Go Preferences -> General tab. Check option Disable caching of Media DB (will slow down startup).
Do you mean Export Movie List Info -> and select a template? These templates are for the user to modify as they wish. To create the option to build a Custom template in Media Companion would be very time intensive, and would be at the bottom of the feature list. Check the folder html_templates and look at the file 1Export Template Guide.txt in this folder for help in building your own template, or modifying an existing template.
Don't feel this is going to happen. For one, all certificates would have to be stored in the movie's nfo. Two, Kodi only reads one Certificate. Three, If more that one certificate, Kodi uses the last one found.
Ar, nope. Here's the runtimes for LOTR: Fellowship Quote:Runtime: 178 min | 208 min (Special DVD Extended Edition) | 228 min (Blu Ray Extended Edition) | 171 min (DVD Widescreen Edition)And here they are for The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey Quote:Runtime: 169 min | 182 min (Extended Edition)Spiderman-3 Quote:Runtime: 139 min | 137 min (editor's cut) There is insufficient consistency in naming of the runtimes, for MC to pick the data. Not to mention how/where to hold that data, and what it means. And then there's downloaded movies where start or credits may be cut, or extra added. Sorry, #5 won't be happening. Oh and BTW, Pal runs at 25 frames a Second. NTSC can be 23.97 or 29.97 frames a second. Runtime on Pal or NTSC are the same seconds long, it just how many frames are played in that second. |
