I've just re-scraped my entire movie collection (~900 movies), for some reason I was missing several poster files before. When finished the majority of the posters downloaded are terrible, either bad quality, wrong language, or wrong size. I am using the default MC settings, the only change I have made is to say I store movies in their own directory.

Is there some settings I need to look at?

Apart from the preview of movie posters on the Poster tab, nothing has changed in how MC gets the posters.
By default MC get in this order.
Selected language, if not available then
English, if not available then
first poster that is available.

For sizing, check Preferences -> General & Common -> Common Settings tab.
check the Image Resizing options are correct.
Actor = 768
Poster =1080
Fanart = FHD (1920x1080)

These are the defaults, and if the image is larger than what is set, it is down-sized.
No image is upsized if it is smaller than these settings.

If you can identify any movies than consistently gets a crappy poster, please let me know, and I will check what is going on.

pitty it is full of mallware but looks handy







My anti virus keeps warning me, so you can see in the picture. Is there an other source to download it from ?
No i will not turn off my anti virus for a short moment.

[vbat99]

That's a false positive due to 7 zip way of making a self extracting file.

I, and others can guarantee this is clean.

Well i used another computer to download and install it without a anti virus program.

It looks amazingly handy, Why do you not use another type of compression, so there would not be a false positive the next time :-)

Thanks for that, I'm not sure what the issue was. I switched to Ember and re-scraped and it pulled back 100% perfect posters and fanart

hye every one, bajwa i think you are using jwplayer and jwplayer is not support .m3u8 stream file, if you want to play .m3u8 stream file then you can use your own swf javascript file, you just upload this file in your media, then in you embed you use http://yoursitename/filename.swf.
or more info you can visit Ecouter Radio En Direct and FM Radio Online

Honestly, I've looked and tested a few. 7-zip compresses smaller than any other, by almost 1.5MB, meaning a smaller download, and importantly, a smaller upload file.

It all has to do with Avast Heuristic engine, and i have complained to them, uploaded sample files, but never heard anything back.

Edit: Seems some playing around with the compression options in 7-zip, and finally Avast has stopped complaining.
Looks like I may have to test the files against Avast before uploading them.

Next release probably.

Have just tested with Media Companion, and am getting very good poster and fanart.
Fanart is 1920x1080, Posters are 720x1080. As per the settings in Media Companion.

I'd sure like to ensure the best posters are being retrieved from TMDb, so if you are able to PM me your config.xml file, It may point to what is going wrong.

[vbat99]

Revision History

Thanks for the fixes! Now no more crashes/errors during rescraping movie set name and artwork, and most movie sets display a correct total number.
Remaining issues are:
- Some valid sets still show "unknown" for total number (e.g. Lion King Collection, Ghost in the Shell Collection)
- No way to update outdated set info that have been removed/changed from TMDB site. Looks like they have changed many "collection"s to "list"s. All these removed sets show "unknown".

To fix Unknown totals, run Movie Set ID Check.
When complete, refresh all movies.

As for outdated sets. This will have to be up to the user.
As mentioned in my PM, what one person thinks is outdated, is another's custom set, or in another example, they want to keep all movies in one set, IE:
Star Trek Collection (including next generation and reboots)

If we automate this, there will be more users annoyed with their sets changing, and I would get no thanks.

If you can come up with a viable option to keep everyone happy, please let me know.
Or, complain to TMDb as to why the sets have been changed.

So does that work for you for those collections? That doesn't change anything for me.

I never said force-update should be automated as that would destroy the user's custom set info.
What's needed is a (context menu) command to force update movie set info by rescraping. Then users could selectively run the command only for movies that have outdated set info.
How do they identify those? If total number displays properly without a bug, only custom sets and outdated sets will show "unknown" total number. Then users could run the command, if they wish, for non-custom "unknown" movie sets.

Or, complain to TMDb as to why the sets have been changed.

Nothing to complain to TMDB. Only complaining to apps that provide no way to keep up with their constant updates.

Yes, this worked for the 8 sets I have for testing, including the three you advised me of.
Afterwards, they all showed x of x, instead of x of unknown.

Sorry, calling it a night. Need to get some sleep.
Will be back in the morning.

The three sets I PMed you were fixed correctly. Note the two sets I mentioned are new ones.
