Dan would it be possible to add an -upratings cmd for TVshows/episodes/movies, maybe the movies setting would also update the IMDB top250 rating

Should be possible.

Hi Dan..

I FINALLY installed 1.4.8 but this is not working for me:

Code:

"Ember Media Manager.exe" -updatemovies newauto all -profile English

newauto and all are only parameters, you have to add the command -scrapemovies before:

Code:

"Ember Media Manager.exe" -updatemovies -scrapemovies newauto all -profile English

All good now... Vielen Dank!

Hey Dan,

I ran:

Code:

Ember Media Manager.exe -profile "default" -updatetvshows -scrapetvshows newskip all

in Alpha 21.

There were
- 4 new episodes for already known/scraped tv shows
- 1 completely new show with two episodes

The 4 episodes were found and scraped perfectly as usual
But only the tvshow.nfo and the images were scraped for the new show
The new 2 episodes were found by Ember (as XYZ S01E01 & XYZ S01E02), but not scraped (neither nfo or thumb).

Do I have the correct command line?

thanks!

Your command looks correct.
New episodes in already scraped/known tv shows will be scraped by -updatetvshows (same like you use the Update Library button in Ember).
new tv shows including episodes should be scraped with -scrapetvshows newskip all. But it's possible that this does not work correctly. For today is too late (00:45 in my time zone), but i will check that tomorrow :-)

Yes, it's a bug. All season and episode triggers are missing in command line. I fix that later today

I'm also waiting for this fix to start running my automated script for scraping tv shows

I've fixed the CommandLine part and added additional commands: Commit

Please test the new EmberAPI.dll and report still existing bugs. This dll is only working with Alpha 21! Overwrite both EmberAPI.dll in main Ember folder and Modules folder:

Code:

.\Ember Media Manager\EmberAPI.dll

Dan the man!

I've scraped new episodes with:

Code:

"Ember Media Manager.exe" -profile "redglory" -updatetvshows "Stand Up" -scrapetvshows newauto all

and every episode got scraped (one new season and lots of new episodes for already scraped shows).

The only glitch I've noticed is the lack of XML header on top of every scraped XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

It helps to be correctly parsed by Sublime Text 3, for instance

EDIT:

Code:

"Ember Media Manager.exe" -profile "redglory" -updatetvshows "Stand Up" -scrapetvshows markedauto all

Isn't catching marked episodes for scraping. I suppose it olny works for marked shows?! When I apply marked filter episodes aren't listed...

EDIT 2:
Although .nfo are created for every episode, the titles aren't updated. If I hit "Reload" on an episode, episode name remains generic (ex: Tim Michin S01E01).

EDIT 3:
Episode's Images (thumb.jpg) are not being scraped at all.

My NFOs have the correct header. Tested using the DLLs provided by Dan above

Are you using newskip all? I use newauto all...

yes, newskip

[redglory]

yes, newskip

Ok will try it like that. Although it works with movies (newauto)

EDIT: @DanCooper works with newskip but fails with newauto?! Weird...

EDIT2: It works with new tvshows but not with tvshows already in database, when adding new episodes. New episodes don't get scraped. It might have something to do with new episodes not being marked as new?

I use sickbeard to organize my new tvshows/episodes. It creates an .nfo for every episode.

When using command-line scraping, new tvshows scrape fine(updated .nfo, posters, fanart, etc), but new episodes for already scraped shows don't get scraped.

It's the same when I run EMM and update my library.I have to use:

to re-scrape episodes so that episode names and images get correctly scraped into the DB.

Could we have some kind of "force" attribute so that every new episode with an .nfo get re-scraped? Or am I overthinking this?
