The only thing needed is a wrapper for the scraper XMLs (if it where so easy )

Any Statemet on this Feature-Request - should I post it on github?

Looking at the FAQ:
Season images reside inside the tvshow folder
season[XX]-(poster/banner/fanart).(png/jpg)
season-all-(poster/banner/fanart).(png/jpg}
season-specials-(poster/banner/fanart).(png/jpg)

Currently, in the settings menu, any season is named as 'season<seasonNumber>-poster.jpg" but it does not display.

If I rename it "season-specials-poster", it works as expected.


TIA

I was having the same problem. I added an entry called "movie.nfo" in the NFO section of settings under Movies. It has fixed the problem for me.

Hi msderganc and thank you for your help.
Could you be more specific because I don't understand.
You "added an entry called movie.nfo in the NFO section of settings under Movies". Where did you add that? In MediaElch settings? My problems are with TV shows, so what should I add and where?
Also, I'm thinking out loud, i'm connecting my xbmc raspberry pi to my NAS by NFS in read-only. Can it have an impact?
Thank you.

I just want to confirm if this is the expected behavior.

Also, another request... an option to select the nfo file and manually edit from within the program.

Thanks again for the program.

Would it be possible for season fanarts to just give us the complete list of fanarts for the tvshow from thetvdb and let us pick? right now, whenever we're in the season level, we get no results for fanarts. This is of course because there is no season-level fanart on thtvdb, but it would be nice to allow us to assign them locally from the tvshow fanarts.

I noticed that if I use IMDB scraper for cast, I get cast, but not the <role> tag populated. This information is contained on IMDB, but not sure why it's not being populated by ME. I also noticed that the scraper is not getting the full cast, but only the cast shown on the summary page of IMDB. are there any plans to update the scraper to allow for scraping the full cast and ensuring that the role is scraped?

Also, one other thought on scraping - any plans to add an option for selective scraping to only update the stream details?

I have files that use AAC LC as the audio codec and are properly identified and written by media elch, but XBMC does not recognize it as a valid codec. In order for it to recognize it correctly, I have to change it to AAC. Is there a way to set the dependency that when AAC LC is found to populate with AAC only instead?

Also, thanks for following up on the specials artwork. Appreciate your hard work.

Currently no way. But I just need a list of these replacements and can easily integrate it. In your case the nfo contains "AAC LC"? All upper case?

Silly question no doubt but here is the thing: I just upgraded my OpenELEC setup from 2.00 (a.k.a Eden) to 2.99.2 (a.k.a. Frodo). So I thought I'd be clever and change the settings in ME from Eden to Frodo. But I can't for the live of it figure out what I am supposed to do to get my *.tbn's renamed to jpg :S

Any help appreciated (as always )

Basically just set the naming scheme back to Eden. Your images and everything else need to be loaded by MediaElch. Then just go to MediaElch -> XBMC -> Rename artwork to Frodo naming conventions.

@alspoll: The interesting part is what libmediainfo (used by MediaElch to get the stream details) reports. That's not the same what XBMC expects. MediaElch already replaces some of the values but I don't have enough different movie files/codecs to get a complete mapping between libmediainfo <--> XBMC.

I'll adjust the scraper to show all fanarts from thetvdb.com.
MediaElch is using imdbapi.org to get the results. They don't provide the role tag and not the full cast. There's nothing I can do here.
Stream details are not scraped and it wouldn't make any sense. Stream details are specific to your files and are loaded from them. So just select your movies, right click and hit "load stream details" to load them for a bunch of files.

XBMC seems to be using the nfo to populate actors thumbs rather than the local files, meaning the missing actors thumbs in the nfo still don't appear.

Is this how it is suppose to be working? And if so what is the point of creating local actors thumbs?
