Good night MariusTh86,
I) Roger that.
New Observation:
1) Certain media flags missing from TV Shows or showing wrong aspect ratio: some TV show video files display all their corresponding media flags right after being added to XBMC's library without even playback them if ViMM isn't involved in the previous metadata scrapping. Same TV shows scrapped and tagged with ViMM and then added to XBMC are missing their video, audio codec or present wrong aspect ratio flags (see images below). I have done a comparison between the NFOs written by each, XBMC and ViMM, and there are clearly differences in the metadata information they are extracting from the files or how they are understanding it; key differences that may be affecting the recognition of the metadata written by ViMM and display of the media flag anytime between the addition to XBMC and the moment the files are watched for the first time, since after first playback XBMC usually assigns missing flags and correct aspect ratio flags. However the latter corrections don't get written to the local NFO files for each episode, which means the issue with the missing flags and wrong aspect ratios presents itself on and on again, every time the source is removed and re-added to XBMC. Moreover, ViMM should be reading the same XBMC is, and writing exactly the info XBMC could understand in the fields related to media flag display. Please find the info package here, containing the media info and resulting NFOs for each file. I haven't isolated the missing flags on this package as the only ones missing, so it is perfectly possible that this issue might be affecting some other types of video files, hopefully not. I presume too this is happening with the movies as well.
Wrong and right flags, on the left and right, respectively:
Best,
CF
