To comment on the original replies to this thread (about combining this with the other media-managers) I must say that I personally like the different takes, and I far prefer Ember versus the others, from what I've seen so far.
And I personally see nothing wrong with a couple different versions, sort of the "different strokes for different folks" line of thinking.
With that said, I've tested this on a directory of movies ripped to .ISO -- I realize that MediaBrowser.dll does not support investigating .ISO for metadata and that's fine by me. However, my question is ..
Why is it, that I cannot get .ISO files to scan in bulk? In other words, I can go one-by-one, right-click, and choose "Re-Scrape IMDB" and it works fine. However, if I choose "Update Movies > All Media > (Ask or Automatic)" it does not work. This is, of course, after the process of scanning all of the media and viewing it in the left-window.
Finally, once I've got this working, there is just one request I'd like to make (which may already exist but I have not figured it out): the option of re-naming the file (and associated .nfo/.tbn/etc) based on the proper name found by Ember. Along with a log (when done automatically) so that I can revert where it's wrong.
Thanks so much for this -- it's truly awesome. You ought to include a Paypal link for donations!
