Was watching the task manager memory consumption tab. Media elch was fetching 2 movie's meta data, 50 something has been done in the last 2 days.

And then I started to click one by one on all the accomplished movies. guess what, the memory consumption started to rise gradually. 1 movie click and 30 mb raised, another - there goes another 25.
Tried to reproduce it, and it worked again. Finally after 926 mb, it crashed.

Seems like it is caching the movie posters and fan art, but us unable to unload them somehow.

@ Aries, thanks i've done that in some movies that i found. i just mentioned it to highlight a problem within the application. Right now its quite "problematik" to review all movies ( >2000) to see if there is an empty genre entry :-), looking forward to the new filter function to review my movie genres :-)

Another small observation when it comes to movies and poster/fanart:
First let me state the configuration :
Mediaelch , set to XML and the oberservation seems to be valid for BDMV structures ONLY.
XMBC Version ( Frodo Nighties from september )
index.nfo seems to be found and recognized.
Index.tbn and index-fanart.jpg seems to be ignored ( doesn't show up in this xbmc version, dont know if this is version specific, but even a refresh didn't get the pictures )
tried to add index.jpg and also in the movieroot dir <moviename>.jpg, No luck so far.

It might be xbmc version related, but just to let you know.
Best regards
Linus

3) Adding a movie to a genre ( genre dialog ) it would be helpfull to have the movielist in the selectionlist sorted, with quite a lot mióvies, no chance
4) if you like to add a genre to a movie it would be nice to have something like a combo box, select an existing genre or add a new one.
5) you might add the function to add a genre in the genre dialog
6) if there are modifications made in rating or genre sometimes you like to verify them in the movielist or add a missing genre to a movieet ( would also be a nice function to have :-)) it would be great if the movie details page would stay on the tab of the last movie, specially for the advanced section you need to jump back and forth :-).
this might be also needed having this new filtered list in mind aka :
show all movies with genre "indie" and than modify a f.e. a genre field ( or any other example )

I have a shared library (MySQL) for my XBMC-clients, should I connect to this DB instead of using XBMC XML? I don't understand this... I have a bunch of TBN, NFOs etc. already, I just want MediaElch to keep scraping future shows, not replace my current artwork.

I would want the possibility to force XBMC-library to update its artwork if I change a movie poster, without having to re-add the movie to XBMC.

I've been using Ember (for movies) + MIP (for TV-shows), but I'm sick of the old, slow GUIs, and MediaElch does look like what I want. Also the possibility for using it on my Macs is wonderful!

I tried XBMC XML, which in 20 sec listed all my 4000 episodes, and listed them in their correct seasons (not season xx). If I choose XBMC MySQL, I got a bunch of episodes in Season xx (because of 1x01 naming).

But what do I write in the DB connection login, and do I need that? I couldn't log in...

Sorry for my bit messy post, it's a mix of confusion and extreme joy over this MediaManager.


And - Would it be possible in the future to set a show permanently, and then make it auto-scrape for new content? Instead of clicking "search" and choose a show for each episode.

I would like to just open it and make it scan through everything that's new.
Also, it would be great to see the "new" sign on the seasons.

Btw; not complaining! I love that it is so stable, although it's a new application, just need some guidance on the XBMC-integration bit...

Can I scrape with more than one scraper?

Like Title from ofdb, plot from ofdb, rating from imdb and tagline from tmdb?

Thats basically why I use Ember.
