Nice nice niceSmileSmileSmile

I am using R164

My structure is:

DVD\SHREK\VIDEO_TS\movie files (VOBs, IFO, etc.)
DVD\SHREK2\VIDEO_TS\movie files (VOBs, IFO, etc.)
DVD\CASINO ROYALE\VIDEO_TS\movie files (VOBs, IFO, etc.)

As you can see, all movies are in ripped DVD format under the root directory called 'DVD'. Each movie is in a separate folder.

I have EMM set to scan folders recursively and have EMM in Folder mode as C:\DVD.
I also tell EMM to use Folder Name as title.

EMM is displaying DVD\SHREK\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB as the movie path and using VIDEO_TS as the movie name.

IF I uncheck Scan Recursively, the results are the same. I don't know how you would tell EMM to use the SHREK folder for movie name.

----------------------------------------
When I manually use the Edit function and change the movie name, then EMM
finds the correct info and puts it in the correct folders.

You don't need to use recursive file scanning for video_ts folders to work so you can go ahead and uncheck that (unless you have something like this: DVD\SHREK\SHREK1\VIDEO_TS, DVD\SHREK\SHREK2\VIDEO_TS, DVD\SHREK\SHREK3\VIDEO_TS).

For the naming problem, I fixed that for next release. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi nul7 i have a feature request:

i would like to see a scan feature where all files are created EMM is looking for (movie.tbn, <moviename.tbn>,...) the files you select in setings.

after that you can clean folders and then you have all moviefolder the way you like

It already does that.

First, go to Settings->Movies and in the "File Naming" section, check the ones you want to use.

Then, go to Settings->General and in the "Clean Folders" section, check all of them EXCEPT the ones you checked in the "File Naming" section.

Next, run either the "All Movies - Auto" or the "All Movies - Ask" updater.

Finally, when the updater is complete, go to Tools->Clean Folders


NOTE: In the next version, "Clean Folders" is renamed to "Clean Files".... it just makes more sense that way. lol


- nul7 - 2009-05-28

r183 is in the first post. NOTE: A few of the functions were moved to a right-click menu in the movie list.





My apologies to the 2 people who downloaded r181 before I could get r183 up. I found a VERY SMALL bug while playing with EMM just a few minutes after release that... well... bugged me. lol It only affected loading fanart if it was for a movie that was multi-part and <movie>-fanart.jpg was selected... not really important enough to update, but it's only ~800k to download. Might as well, right? lol

Hi

Ive been following the development for quite a long time and very impressed. any estimate on a around when there will be TV series support?

thx

Zeltak

nul7 Wrote:Just for a sanity check, do you have either <movie>.nfo or movie.nfo (or both) checked in settings? If not, it won't create/modify the nfo.

Damn, you are right, i had to check under "General" "Clean files" - /<movie>.nfo and now it updates my nfo's Smile

Btw. Big THX for adding Genres from OFDB. I will check the Genres.xml over the next weekend.

Just an idea for one of the next updates Smile
Can you make the Folders under "Settings" - "Movies" selectable ?
I have lot of hdd's with movies (one 1,5TB is just far to small Smile )
an it would be cool to not have to reenter the Folder Path each time i want to scrap only one hdd, and let it scrap over all hdd's is just a wasting of time.
At the moment i just can remove all hdds and next time i need it i have to readd it.

Maybe there are more ppl with more than one path ?

Thanks! I thought I'd get started on it in a week or two, but the way things are going now with the movies section, it may be up to a month before I even write the first line of code for TV shows. I just want to make sure that the movies section is as close to perfect as possible before moving on. It will make it easier to keep track of bugs and feature requests that way and I'll know that the program can actually be fully utilized for at least one thing, instead of being almost usable in many things.

MrDVD Wrote:Damn, you are right, i had to check under "General" "Clean files" - /<movie>.nfo and now it updates my nfo's Smile

I hope you mean "Movies"->"File Types". lol The "Clean Files" section is for selecting which file types to DELETE when you run the Clean Files Tool.

MrDVD Wrote:Btw. Big THX for adding Genres from OFDB. I will check the Genres.xml over the next weekend.

It should be pretty easy to figure out, but if you have any questions, let me know.

In the next update I'll be doing some changes to the current updaters. I plan to add 2 more main updaters: "New Movies Only" and "Marked Movies Only". Then splitting out some of them into "Posters Only", "Fanart Only", "NFO Only".

After that it shouldn't be a problem any more to have tons of movies because you can narrow down to exactly what you want to update and have it done automatically.

I was/am a little bit confused here. Single scraping was working for him before. Is single scaping working even without have "Movies"->"File Types" checked? I assume not.

And as "Movies"->"Clean Files" has nothing to do with scraping, I think there were something other under the hood... Laugh

If tested the tool and i do really like it... I will use it to re-order/categorize my whole library !!

This is so great!

Nope, it doesn't do anything at all if no files type are selected. It will scrape/download but it won't save anything. Each file has a specific function for saving. When the program needs to save a file, it calls one of the functions instead of having a bunch of different saving routines scattered throughout the program. That means if it's screwed up for one thing, it's screwed up for everything.

lol Not sure what's going on there....

Thank you.... just keep in mind we're still in the alpha stages here. It seems most of the major stuff is worked out and there's a 99% chance that everything will work right. But there is still that 1%............

One thing I noticed earlier when playing around with Ember is that the Media Info Only updater is a little spotty. I'll work on that for the next version. It works for the most part, but it seems to skip/not be able to read some files for some reason, but doing a manual update on the same movie works fine. Plus, I think there is still a hole in the logic for resolution to descriptor code.


- pmontanari - 2009-05-28

It seems that the Imdb Id has no longer the "tt" prefix before the digits....

Moreover, I've dowloaded the latest version r183 but the splash screen displays r181...


- empty - 2009-05-28

First, thank you very much I'm so appreciative!
Feature Request: A nice feature would be searching for imdb-ids in present NFO files.


Edit
I Could do this on my own with importing all my media in xbmc and could export all these file with the "new" (for me) internal extract function Smile
Some months ago I created my whole library with the internal Scraper (OFDB) from xbmc in combination with the "XBMC-DB - seperate nfo files 2.23" (http://billyad2000.co.uk/), and my nfofiles looks like this example but they won't be accepted by your tool. Can I fix it in a quicker way instead of rescraping all the movies again?
