RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - vbat99 - 2014-03-10 (2014-03-10, 09:39)Methanoid Wrote: This woke me up ;-) I'm a bit rusty on the setup but here goes. I would create a folder like: X:\Videos\actors In Media Companion, Go to Movie Preferences -> Advanced, and check the box for Enable Save Actor Thumbs Next, Set the local path to: X:\Videos\actors Now, the tricky bit. XBMC Path. How ever XBMC access your \Videos\Movies\ folder, is how you need to set this path. Is it a mapped network drive? (with a drive letter) or via smb Example: Network drive on PC mapped to X:, but XBMC is mapped to Z: Then set XBMC Path as Z:\Videos\actors Exampe 2: Network drive on PC mapped to X:, but XBMC is mapped to smb:\\192.168.1.10\Volume1\Videos etc, then Then set XBMC Path as smb:\\192.168.1.10\Volume1\Videos\actors (may have gotten the backslash wrong) Now Media Companion will save into X:\Videos\actors every actor. If the actor image exists, it's either skipped or overwritten. Last piece of the puzzle is XBMC. You need to edit advancedsettings.xml file in your userdata folder. If the file does not exist, you need to create it. These lines need to be added so XBMC searches the correct location for actor images Code: <advancedsettings> Here's some reference for Path Substitution. Hopefully another user of Media Companion can chine in and correct me where I've gone wrong. It may also be that Path substitution doesn't need to be added, as we store the smb path for the thumbnail in the movie's nfo. Play, test, let us know how you get on. Rob RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - Zerelah - 2014-03-11 Hi again Tx for the actor fix this is really good news. I Seem to have located the cause of my problems mentioned earlier regarding tvdb. being deleted or not saved to nfo. If you scrape a show and then delete the nfo to scrape again then It wont save the tvdb id to the nfo, and as far as I can find out the only fix seems to be to close Mc and enter the Tvdbid field manually and then start up mc again then it stays saved. I am in the process of renaming my entire library to get all the media info xbmc provides so I have Renamed my show as such Alias [DVDRip] have tried {DVDrip} to but it makes so MC dosent find a match Is there a way to get mc to ignore the []. RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - vbat99 - 2014-03-11 (2014-03-11, 17:07)Zerelah Wrote: Hi again Easy way to add the tvdbid, is to right click the show, view tvshow.nfo. Then add the field <id>tvdbidnumber</id> under the title entry. You may even want to edit the title from here. Once done, save and close the nfo, and in Media Companion {b]Refresh All[/b]. This should pick up the changes. In the next release Of Media Companion, I have been playing with the option of renaming the Show Title from within Media Companion. This just changes the <title> field. As for ignoring anything in square brackets, I can take a look. RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - chas0rde - 2014-03-12 Hello great work Hoping that the bug with not being able to download german plots will be fixed soon Also I was wondering if it would be possible to add some more renaming options to tv shows I name my episodes like this: "Show name - SXXEXX - German title (Original title).ext" I believe this is currently not possible right? Best regards RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - vbat99 - 2014-03-12 (2014-03-12, 20:13)chas0rde Wrote: Hello Give me a show I can do some tests on for getting German plots. As for German title (Original title), we only get the one title for the language currently selected. So if scraping with German as the language, you only get the German title returned.

It always deletes the tvdb id upon refresh or or search if you add the Id manually from within MC after exit it does not get saved only exit mc and manually enter it in the nfo works, I am running it from the program files dir and i have full admin rights.

Can you move Media Companion out of the program files directory and just put the folder into C:, and test from there. It's not a user permissions issue, but a Program permissions issue, which Media Companion is not set to be allowed from 'Program Files' directory. Please test and let me know. RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - bobrap - 2014-03-13 Don't know if you received my PM. Test version worked great!

Hmmm, drawing a blank. So I'll need more info. Can you raise an Issue on Media Companion site, and upload your config.xml file with the new issue. RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - RockDawg - 2014-03-14 Any chance MySQL support for XBMC Link is on the horizon?

Download here Revision History here RE: Media Companion 3.5xx beta - bobrap - 2014-03-28 Thanks for the latest release. Got a question about actors. If using I don't use the XBMC scraper, actors are placed in a single directory. When using the XBMC scraper, actors are put in the .actor folder with the movie. Is this by design? Also, what exactly is this : Filter new movies title during scrape for entries already in Source list, add to Source tag automatically. Thanks again! |
