Silly me, i was trying to find a CLI command and it just installed a shortcut in the Gnome apps list. Smile

@Komet,

First of all: great job with ME. It's really amazing!

I was just checking out the recent Poll Results at http://www.mediaelch.de/poll-results/ and realized that "new scrapers" and/or "custom scrapers" is a very popular request.

As I see, if you implement "custom scrapers" first, many people could help developing and sharing their own scraper.

Can you give us a status on these features?

Regards,
Henrico

How do I get MediaElch to put the duration of a TV episode in the NFO? I can see where it calculates the runtime of the file and and lists that in the metadata section. I would like it to use the same data and put it in a <duration> tag. XBMC takes the data in that tag and puts it into a certain field in the db. Other NFO software I've used in the past does this.

It does.


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - RockDawg - 2013-07-31

I'm sorry, I was not in front of the computer when I posted and I misstated some things. I know that MediaElch puts the durationinseconds in the stream details section of the <fileinfo> tag, but what I am looking for is for it to put a <runtime> (stored as minutes) tag outside the <fileinfo> alongside <title>, <rating> and others. Like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<episodedetails>
  <title>Give Me a Ring Sometime</title>
  <runtime>600</runtime>  <<<<<------------------------------------------------
  <aired>1982-09-30</aired>[/quote]
  <rating>8.400000</rating>
  <season>1</season>
  <episode>1</episode>
  <plot>Cheers is a small bar in Boston, ....</plot>
  <credits>|Glen Charles|Les Charles|</credits>
  <playcount>6</playcount>
  <director>|James Burrows|</director>
  <actor>
    <name>Michael McGuire</name>
    <role />
    <thumb />
  </actor>

XBMC takes the value in the <duration> tag and inserts it into field C09 of the Episodes table of the database. It does not do that with the <durationinseconds> tag. The PsuedoTV addon then uses that info from the db to plot programs on it's Program Guide. I suppose it's possible that other things my use this same data, but I'm not aware of which ones.

Since version 1.6 the fileinfo element contains another fileinfo element:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<episodedetails>
    ...
    <fileinfo>
        <fileinfo>
            <streamdetails>
                <video>
                    <aspect>1.8</aspect>
                    <codec>xvid</codec>
                    <durationinseconds>2518</durationinseconds>
                    <height>400</height>
                    <scantype>Progressive</scantype>
                    <width>720</width>
                </video>
                <audio>
                    <channels>2</channels>
                    <codec>mp3</codec>
                    <language>deu</language>
                </audio>
                <audio>
                    <channels>2</channels>
                    <codec>mp3</codec>
                    <language>eng</language>
                </audio>
            </streamdetails>
        </fileinfo>
    </fileinfo>
</episodedetails>

I'm assuming that post was directed at me. I missed the dual <fileinfo> tags. Nonetheless, I am requesting a <runtime> tag that is NOT in the streamdetails. Both Ember and Media Comapnion do that and, as I said, XBMC scrapes that data and enters it into a certain location on the db.


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - Toddy69 - 2013-08-02

@RockDawg: No, that was directed at Komet as a bug report.


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - alspoll - 2013-08-04

Looks like some interesting things coming up by looking at the change log.

Any idea when 1.7 will be released?

TIA,

AL


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - Powerhouse - 2013-08-05

I've noticed just recently that MediaElch 1.6 is no longer downloading any info on new TV series that I add. For example, just added the cartoon Gargoyles (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=72885&lid=7) yet none of the posters, fanart, banners, or plot information is loaded (or shown), within MediaElch. Instead, I have to click on the red X and it will then load the images and I have to pick which ones I want. Is this something new, as in the past it would automatically load all of this when adding a new TV series?


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - _ak1_ - 2013-08-08

Since it has not been mentioned here so far, I thought I should do so: Komet uploaded version 1.7 on his website earlier today.


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - _J@n_ - 2013-08-09

Hi Komet,

Thank you for a new a splendid release!

Something bugs me though. It seems 1.7 ME decided that it's interface is supposed to be Dutch (I have Dutch language and region settings). I would like ME to "talk" to me in English. How can I get ME to talk English to me again?

Looking forward to your reply!

TIA

Greetz,

_J@N_

Does the Movieset section support Artwork being in a subfolder of the Artwork directory like Movie set Artwork Automator does? I seperate my fanart from my posters but from what i see in the ME config, it just shoves everything in the Artwork directory. It should be added to fully support Movie set Artwork Automator.

I don't know if I get you right but you want to store your movie set artwork like

.../artwork/moviesets/Avatar Collection.jpg
.../artwork/moviesets/Spider Man Collection.jpg

Is this correct?

D:\Videos\Moviesets\Fanart\...
D:\Videos\Moviesets\Posters\...

Hi Komet wanted to know if this made it to 1.7 because when i look i can still only set the base directory...is there something i missed?


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - solamnic - 2013-08-11

is it possible to add ability to mark duplicate movies? (or filter)
(this is very handy in big lists where someone (like me Wink )... may have the same movie in different formats 720p, 1080p...


RE: MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win - protocol77 - 2013-08-11

is it possible to either have a seperate program for the send of remote clean and updates of xbmc machines

or perhaps the ability to set more than one machine

i have several xbmc machines with seperate mysql libraries and i find myself having to set one then go back into the setting and change the ip address and port number for the next machine then start then then return the settings again and repeat the step


i am hoping there is another way or a more easier way to do this
