Would it be possible to run it out of a directory on a nas? (NTFS/Samba share)

Only with a Mapped drive letter, but why? unless your thinking of having a common driver letter and accessing it from multiply computers...In that case make sure your not running more than one copy at a time.

would it cause a conflict if I'm running Media Companion full from NAS, and another computer runs mc_com.exe -u from the same NAS?

vbat99 · 2013-03-19, 05:36

OK, what I've found in the past is that if running Media Companion, and another instance runs mc_com.exe -e or -m, mc_com added the episode or movies to the cache, but Media Companion requires to Refresh Movie or TV Show.

As for mc_com.exe -u, I can't say. Test it and let us know. LOL.

Zxurian · 2013-03-19, 05:38

lol, yes, -e would have been right. Just wanted to double check that I can make the modification to sickbeard's script and not have to worry about a conflict if I'm running the full program on another computer

Zxurian · 2013-03-19, 05:49

so... Just moved Media Companion to my NAS and tried running it and got the following errors:

Since there have been no comments and the problem persists for me am I right in thinking that updating the watched status via the Tables just doesnt work?

You just can't move your existing copy, as it is pointing to the last location you ran it.

Delete your settings folder and run it from your nas again as a fresh new copy. That'll set the path in the config.xml file, as well as a few others.

Changing from table does work, just don't have 300 odd movies to test at once.

Can you try a dozen at a time, clicking "Save" after each dozen, and let us know.

Zxurian · (This post was last modified: 2013-03-20, 00:37 by Zxurian.)

ugh. Is there a way I can just update the path that it's pointing to manually?

Update: woo hoo! I can, I just updated the paths in profile.xml and it looks like it's loading without an issue.

vbat99 · 2013-03-20, 00:48

Ta Da!, Glad its working.

I have tried with ten or so and still no joy. It claims to have saved changes but when you look back to movie list there is no change .
Also I noticed it doesn't read video stream data so when I have imported into XBMC and its read the nfo files XBMC doesn't show video/audio stream info and can't therefore say if a movie is HD or SD. That coupled with the problem of not showing watched status means I am having to refresh each movie in XBMC which rather defeats the point of MC.

If I have missed a setting please let me know and I'll try it again?

And your on the latest Media Companion, V3.552b?

Changing back to the main tab in Movies, you may have to do a refresh to note changes that were done on the table tab.

And MC does save the stream data into the nfo, for compatible formats. Currently only BDR and ISO can not be read by mediainfo.dll.

umanbean · 2013-03-21, 18:17

Yes I am using the latest version MC and refreshing makes no difference. It also is not reading/saving any codec info in my case whether from .ts, .mpg or anything else.

vbat99 · 2013-03-21, 19:18

So your not seeing anything like this in you nfo??

Code:
<fileinfo>

    <streamdetails>

      <video>

        <width>720</width>

        <height>404</height>

        <aspect>1.78</aspect>

        <codec>avc1</codec>

        <format>avc1</format>

        <duration>40</duration>

        <bitrate>692 Kbps</bitrate>

        <bitratemax>4 684 Kbps</bitratemax>

        <container>.mkv</container>

        <codecidinfo>Advanced Video Coding</codecidinfo>

      </video>

      <audio>

        <codec>AAC</codec>

        <channels>2</channels>

        <bitrate>116 Kbps</bitrate>

      </audio>

    </streamdetails>

  </fileinfo>

This is from a video just scraped with MC3552b, couple minutes ago.

Quick request:

Is there a command line entry to for mc to check tv root folders for new shows?

Ive looked on codeplex site, but it only refers to updating and running different profiles.

Is there a page listing all command line functions, or am I missing something?

No. It is on the feature request lists, but there may not be a way to successfully implement this feature due to show naming issues.

This is where in MC you can add a new show, and confirm it's the correct show, correct artwork, before scraping episodes.

Fair play. makes sense when you explain it like that!

Thanks!
