Yea I did some forum searching and found that there are no options for TV shows, yet, whether it be via the GUI or the command line.

However despite having all the nfo files in place on my server, XBMC doesn't display any data when I try to info option on my remote? Before using EMM-r, I had content on each media PC to pull it down from TVDB and TMDB directly so the info button worked fine then.
Do I have to do any special config in XBMC to get it to read local nfo files? At current it is set to no content as I'm not using a web based scraper.
Only just found out it didn't work when the Missus asked for info on a movie we were about to watch and I had to use the phone to imdb search!
I've always found that the NFO files the Ember creates DO NOT import into XBMC. So, once I know that ember has found the correct film, I rename th directory, so that XBMC will find it. I delete the NFO file before I let XBMC scrape the file. I'm sure someone will correct me on this.
Anyway, the NFO from Ember

<plot>Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 for the four to five years of schooling as he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five. Students Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Fisher, who are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack. Intrigued by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned.</plot>

</fileinfo>The Ember version appears to be missing director data and other fields. Is it possible to correct this?
2011-03-01, 01:09
Is there a way to get the scraper to use the English titles for films?
"Force Language Title" doesn't seem to do anything for me.
example,
Hero (IMDB tt0299977) is shown as Ying xiong no matter how many times I try changing the settings.

Betard Wrote:I've been toying around with Ember Media Manager and Media Companion...
I really like EMM and when testing a few movies I noticed it did not some. After some poking around I noticed it did not include movies with the .001, .002, etc... extensions. So I added .001 to the "Valid Video Extensions" list and updated the library, still not all movies were displayed. Further poking around I noticed the remaining movies that were excluded were movies that contained the CD1 / CD2 folders.
Since this folder structure is supported by XBMC, Is there no way to also config EMM to recognize that folder structure? I've been digging around here and on google and have yet to find a solution. And I would prefer not to change the existing folder structure.
Anyone out there solve this issue? Surely plenty of people have also come across this issue.

Good morning,
I used Ember just a few weeks before it went down.
Now i am happy to be able to use the revisted version with the new scraper from rouges. Thats nice and works much better then the original scraper.
But I am a user from germany and would love to use a scraper with a german source like IMDB or something like that.
Does anyone have an idea how i can do that?

I and many other have no issues getting XBMC to scrape based on the nfo files from Ember. I suspect the fields you are listing are not mandatory to the scraper (very little is). What happens that tells you it doesn't work? How are you scraping from XBMC?
2011-03-01, 10:52
i've spent hours looking for the answers, searching everywhere but try as i might - i cannot get ember back.
It seems the original instructions (run the exe) are no longer applicable. Most of the instructions for any version of getting EMMrevisited running are out of date and or missing files at this point.
Dows anyone have a precompile or set or currently working instructions (2/28/2011 ?).
Please and thanks!

A newbie to xmbc and emm here with probably a very silly question. The download link lead me to a webpage from where I downloaded a rar file with only two dll files and no exe files. How do install emm-r from these two dll files?

dragomanjk Wrote:You have to set the content in XBMC. It will read the nfo and images in the folder if done correctly.Right you are, helps if I read the FAQ and wiki's properly!
evylrat Wrote:I've always found that the NFO files the Ember creates DO NOT import into XBMC.Once I set content, the data was loaded. Well I assume it loaded the data from the nfo's and not doing lookups for everything as it updated the library from scratch much faster than it ever did scraping from the web.
Media is sorted now, just have to find a skin that displays the banners/covers/fanart etc in a way I like

The first page is a little confusing I know. (just installed the revisited one earlier today)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emm-r/files/1.2/
On this page, you have the EMM-r for x86 and x64. download the one you need and extract the content, you now have a working EMM.
Now when I started I noticed I could only download really small posters, so what I did was download "scraper.rouge.dll", put it into the "modules"-folder inside Ember.
Then go to Edit - Settings - Movies.
At "Scrapers - Images & Trailers" - "Ember Native Movie Scrapers"
uncheck "enabled" the the top left and then do the opposite on "Rogue's Ember Movie Scraper" (enable it)
After that everything should work fine.

Maybe you have to check "recursive scanning" for some of your folders? I'm surprised the rar/.001 works at all...

I have no clue what your problem is... you need to expand on your issues? Does the post a few up talking about the correct download directories and rogue help?

The issue here is that we don't have existing installs of EMM.
I wiped my last computer, upgraded to Win7 64b and had no idea that Ember floped in such a manor into its current state.
I'm reading all the 'tips' and instructions etc and it seems like everybody expects you to have an install of EMM on the machine.
It is impossible to install EMM because it's looking to contact its website that has been suspended for whatever reason. This leads to the error mentioned so many times here:
""Error: There is an error in xml document(1,2).""
The link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emm-r/files/1.2/
provides only two dlls - not usefull for an install.
I hear mention that you place these in the "modules" fodler - again, i don't have a modules folder because i cannot install EMM.
It would be ideal if we could get a precompiled EMM-r install instead of doing the copy-paste thing. -I would be glad to help with that effort after i get emm back up and running.
All your help and effort appreciated.
