I wondered when someone was going to ask that questions. I was looking at a one-hit script to rename files. is a set folder structure, but didn't get it sorted.

There isn't a function in MC to replace the existing files. and when Bulk rescrape wizard is fix, there will be a function to scrape the missing artwork, ie, you have eden, but selected "Both" in MC, the wizard will scrape and fill in the frodo artwork alongside the eden artwork.

If you wish to completely replaced eden format to Frodo, then as fma964 mentioned, Bulk rename is perfect. just sort your tbn episode images, and replace with -thumb.jpg. Similar with season thumbs.

Hope this is of help.

Actually, Bulk Rename Utility http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php is Extremely powerful, and Can do just as suggested. I Know, I've tried it already.

Yes it will. That's the way I changed all mine to Frodo before the option was available in MC. In option selections (12) filter should be folder.jpg, uncheck folder, check sub folder. In the upper left pane choose your main folder that has all you TV show folders. You'll get all the folder.jpg's. Now just use the remove and add boxes (5 and 7). Highlight all the folder.jpg and hit rename on the lower right.

I've been reading through the thread looking for an answer and I see it was discussed back in April, but I was wondering if you had any plans to allow scraping of new Tv Shows (not just episodes) via mc_com? I've been trying to find a good way to automate my downloads and scraping and mc_com works great if I already have the Tv Show in Media Companion, but I tend to download a lot of new shows and I am trying avoid having to open MC and choosing "Check Roots....". An additional switch for mc_com to "check roots" before it check for new episodes would be awesome! (and simplify my life)

vbat99 · 2013-01-31, 02:17

Well, it's been asked how to schedule MC before, but not asked to have check roots option.

At this time, this option would require a large rewrite of the command-line code, to incorporate scanning root folders, scraping all the meta data and images for new Shows.

I will add this to the To Do List as a Feature, but I know at this moment, all energy is in Bug Fixing and getting MC fully Frodo compatible.

It would have to be understood that the Folder for new shows would have to be named exactly as on the TvDb site, else large error and possible lockups of MC could occur.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I look forward to the bug fixes and new features!

Thx muchly for the updated version to resolve the scraper issues.

So far everything is working for me...but I did notice that the "Outline" field is populated by a review instead of the outline.

Keep up the great work.

EDIT: Seems like the plot also uses a review instead of plot (but not always).

vbat99 · 2013-01-31, 09:19

Indeed you are right, I see it in outline for sure. I'll add to the To Do List. Cheers

Excellent. I also noticed that the "Stars" field is only pulling one star, when previous versions pulled three. Love the new look.

I must be missing something, how do I choose / download a tv show season poster?

thanks. knew it was something stupid.
I noticed that the season posters are now being downloaded as sessonXX-poster.jpg. Can I delete all of my previous .tbn files since Frodo supports direct .jpg's now?

(2013-01-30, 05:04)vbat99 Wrote: OK, well I just tested with "Cheongdam Dong Alice", created a new show under my test folder, and had MC Check Roots for new shows.

This scraped perfectly. No issues. BUT, I did have a problem when trying to scrape any episodes.

Now, this may be because there is absolutely no info loaded at TheTvDb against any episode. No plot, no directors, no episode thumbs either. MC should catch this error, so I'll add to the To Do List.

OK. First off, am I right that everything MC stores is in its local "settings" folder (I have several versions of MC side-by-sdie and they all seem to work). Or more precisely, profile.xml is the main user file that's needed and by default profile.xml entries are all in the local settings folder?

Because in looking at the tvcache.xml file in the local settings I found a problem on this tvshow. I have entires on this show near the top that look like:

Code:
<episodedetails NfoPath="F:\VideosF\TV Shows\Cheongdam dong Alice\Cheongdam dong Alice S01E01.nfo">

    <missing>False</missing>

    <title>Episode 1</title>

    <season>1</season>

    <episode>1</episode>

  </episodedetails>

and no associated tvshow element. Then farther down the file I have repeats, except these have showid elements in them:

Code:
<episodedetails NfoPath="F:\VideosF\TV Shows\Cheongdam dong Alice\Cheongdam dong Alice S01E01.nfo">

    <missing>False</missing>

    <title>Episode 1</title>

    <season>1</season>

    <episode>1</episode>

    <showid>264413</showid>

  </episodedetails>

And following this group of episodes is the tvshow entry:

Code:
<tvshow NfoPath="F:\VideosF\TV Shows\Cheongdam dong Alice\tvshow.nfo">

    <state>0</state>

    <title>Cheongdam Dong Alice</title>

    <id>264413</id>

  </tvshow>

Any idea how this happens? Also what does the tvshow setting "Fix NFO id during cache refresh" do (mine is unchecked)?
