For example:
"Lion King" now reads "El rey león"
"Spiderman 3 now reads a 3"
"Highschool Musical 3" now reads "H.S.M. 3"
And here is a wierd one Star Trek reads "Christa & Christan's Big Adventure" but the plot summary is correct. The folder name is Star Trek (2009)
Any ideas on how to fix this? All the other information looks good (plot, summary, etc)

elzafir Wrote:Guys, I have a question.
Are these all the files needed to show Library correctly on a system that stores all movies in "I:\Movies\<movie name> (YEAR)\<movie name>.avi"?

<movie name>.avi
<movie name>.srt
<movie name>-trailer.mp4
movie.nfo
fanart.jpg
movie.tbn
folder.jpg

Is the folder.jpg necessary to show thumbs on folder in File View (not Library mode)? Or will XBMC use the movie.tbn as thumbs for the folder (not just thumbs for the movie.avi)?

Second question:
What's the easiest way to delete the cached thumbs on XBMC and tell XBMC to use only the files found on the folders? (does simply deleting the source and re-adding them suffice?)

Third question,
with my settings, what's the best way to set my XBMC scraper?
I know for sure that I have to Set Content to "Movies", select IMDB or TMDB scraper.
But what about the "Scan recursively", "Exclude folder from scans" and "Folder contains a single video"? These Option's not very intuitive for first time users.

or must I rename those files to <movie>.nfo/.tbn?

I have gotten EMM list of movies the way I want it, but when I click the "Initiate XBMC Update" button, it doesn't update XBMC. I have the IP and id/password setup right and web is enabled in XBMC. So if I rename a movie and rescrape it in EMM, how exactly do I push the changes to XBMC??

Does it support TV shows now? If not, what is the best manager for them?

I could manage to get it once but then since I lost the right parameter and I can get folder, icon, poster; nfo etc etc where is this one!!..

Thanks

flojlg Wrote:Thanks for your fast answer but ok it's for the xtreamer but I could have the "famous " .Background once !! and then I unchecked some option but I do not remember wich one...
Not to get a full powered file, just a simple as I have seen them was enough for me, as I could see it in this media player.
Both folder where i could get it :


Both was named .Background.bmp

It's not a problem for IMDB, but sites like TMDB don't have the financial backing to have huge clusters of servers. They provide a service for free, which greatly enhances the functionality of Ember and other media managers. I don't think it's fair if we take advantage of that and hammer them every time we scrape something. I've noticed one or two other media managers try to download every image at the same time, and don't think that's exactly fair/ethical. It's not so big of a deal when it's only one person... but we have ~4000+ users and growing. Imagine the load that would create on these servers. Besides, they ask that users of the API limit requests to no more than one per second... and that's just for retrieving the xml.

You are right, ofcourse, but I didn't clarify the way I had thought about it - hey, I've even fantasized about how it would appear graphically. Let me explain...

I mentioned "using multiple threads to gather info", but I didn't mean "all the thumbs from one site at once", "all the info for all the movies from IMDB" and such. I'd thought of taking it one movie at a time and asking at the same time for all its resources from multiple sources. Say, like quering IMDB, TMDB, OpenSubtitles.org and any other sites at the same time - opening ONE thread to each one, but at once. Not "ask for poster>wait>receive poster>ask for subs>wait>receive subs"... Get my drift?

And, in a perfect world, Ember would display the title of the movie it's updating at the moment and exactly under it entries with the status of each of its queries, one after the other, with an "Updating", "Updated", "Failed" right next to it. At the end, a window would appear with all "Failed" threads, asking the user to take some action: select one of multiple posters, recognise that there where no subtitles for the language he had selected and so on.

I hope I made myself a bit more clear this time, and sorry for not passing my idea more clearly the first time. Hey, I'm Greek, and English ain't my mother tongue, so... Sorry..! :-)


Appart from that, I realize I'd really, REALLY like to see another feature that I guess ain't that hard to implement - since you're already renaming files and folders: copying and moving files. If it is, I'm sorry for even mentioning it. But let me explain what I mean and why I'd like it...

Ember and XBMC don't care in witch folders I've got my movies. Other programs do. Thus, it's easier for me having thematic folders like, say, Thrillers, Action, Commedies and so on and putting my movies in there. It would be easier though if there was an automatic way to move some movies in some folders. Let's say I want to make a collection about Monty Python: instead of searching the movies file by file, folder by folder, or finding them through ember and then finding and moving manually the files and folders of them, it would be great if I could tick a checkbox next to some movies and then select "move to folder". Or something. Is that possible to add?

Best regards and, once more, congrats on an amazing program.
Ducklord
