RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - tigerjack89 - 2014-08-27
Just new to this tool, looks great!!
I have some random questions:
- The software seems to fail when there are 2 or more files with same name and extension, but not when there are files with same name and different extensions.
I often have 2 different files (maybe with different languages) and for this reason they are not correctly recognized. Also, another issue is when I have a movie divided into 2 different files.
- Is it possible to have the column "Original Title" in the main page?
- Is it possible to add language(s) to a movie?
Thanks in advance for your reply

How do I get the software to refresh the database - it doesn't seems to be picking up new episodes.
Thanks

sorry for responding so late - I've completely forgot it
@mew1033: I know there are differences; We try to provide a stable and reuseable NFO which is readable by a wide range of media centers (not only Kodi).
- yes indeed, the original title is only needed if the title differs; but we write it to be sure it is passed to the our NFO reader (Kodi, ...). Otherwise every reader has to implement the logic to take the title as original title if no original title is available. This is just an approach to create a clearer NFO.
- there were several discussions how to write the ratings. The only stable way to pass the certifications to other tools is to write the technical IDs (PG-13).
- Well, only IMDB differs between plot and outline (for most movies). Our other scraper does not have any similar field in their API, so we decided only to take the plot and cut it down. tMM does not only focus on IMDB - we create a standard interface between our scrapers and the API - therefore we will not introduce a field which is only used by one scraper..
@tigerjack89:
- we changed many points within version 2.6 (I hope we can push it out this week) - please try it again with 2.6. Atm I do not know if we already solved your issue
- we try to keep the movie list (left side of the screen) as small as possible. The original title on the left side would be too long.. Is there really a need for it in the list?
- should be possible with 2.6 if I understand you right
@Rob Xbox User: Adding new episodes to the library is done when doing a "update datasource"

Hi.. Terrific new update.. Thanks a lot.. Love the new icons.. Looks very sleek.. One small bug I noticed, when editing a TV show, In Extra artwork column, when clicked on Thumb, no images appear. Instead they are listed when trying to fetch a fanart.
Also is it possible to scrape only episode nfo? and not the thumb?
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - mlaggner - 2014-09-06
noticed. I'll have a look at this tomorrow
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - mlaggner - 2014-09-07
you are right; Thumbs are sorted to the fanarts - that is a relict of "pre extra artwork" ages
It is fixed with 2.6.1
Yes there are two ways:
a) right click on the episode - scrape episode metadata
b) edit an episode an click on the "scrape" button at the bottom
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - akya - 2014-09-07
Thanks. I asked because I wanted to update the nfos of many TV show episodes to get rid of the double actors and in general to update the ratings and such. So I deleted episode nfos only and clicked scrape episode metadata. But TMM scraped the thumbs again too.
Also TMM doesn't pick up existing extra artwork, logos and clearts and such. Is that possible?
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - mlaggner - 2014-09-07
at the moment everything is scraped for an episode (also with thumbs..); maybe I find some time today and add an extra task or option popup for that..
especially for TV shows there are restrictions with artwork filenames. We sticked to the wiki of Kodi/XBMC: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:Artwork_Downloader#Naming_conventions
here with my test media folder everything is picked up nicely..
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - akya - 2014-09-07
I have the same naming conventions for both movies and tv shows. Maybe I need to reinitialize the database? I tried clearing cache but that didn't helped.
Edit: I Reinitialized database and it worked !
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - mlaggner - 2014-09-07
we did many many upgrade tasks and have never had a problem with it..
But if reinitializing the DB work, we are happy with it
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - akya - 2014-09-08
Hi, I found out that TMM was not saving Tv show's imdb id to the nfo file so I was playing around with the show nfo, deleting it and re-scraping again. During this I restarted TMM and it crashed during the startup with fatal error. Log is attached to the post.
Log
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - mlaggner - 2014-09-08
a JVM crash should definitely not happen in Java :/ As far as I can see this is caused by the database engine we use;
If tmm won't start anymore, please delete/rename the tmm.odb and have a look if it starting again (with an empty db..)
RE: tinyMediaManager - a media manager written in Java (Win/Mac/Linux) - akya - 2014-09-08
Yep, deleted the db and TMM started..
