Hi Marius,
Great Media manager by the way.
One issue I'm having is upon starting ViMM it asks if I want to put my Movie files into folders - I answer yes and a folder is created minus the file type and illegal characters.
This is causing problems then with Fetching Metadata. Sometimes a Metadata scrape works, but usually fails or scrapes data for the incorrect movie. (latest ViMM version)
as an example, the file named....
ABCD.2013.WEB-DL.mkv
will be put into a folder
ABCD 2013 WEB DL
The problem then occurs when a Metadata scrape commences and naturally ViMM cannot find (based on the folder name) the movie "ABCD 2013 WEB DL" in TMDB or the IMDB.
What I would like to happen with ViMM is upon initial startup (or update list), everything in the filename after the year of release is ignored when renaming and creating a new folder.
Is this simple to implement ?
I have played around with the option in Prefs - "Lookup Using Folder name" but it makes no difference.
I'm not sure how this will clash, if it does with TV Show scanning and renaming.
I know everyone is going to say name the Movie files correctly, but why when it could all be done simply in ViMM upon startup and folder creation ?
Is a fix for this a viable option ?
