I was updating my library when I got this error. Looked in the log file and a file in an "Extras" folder caused the error. I use "Extras" folders for misc files not in TVDB.

watch gallery

I then searched for a way to exclude that folder. Found a thread that pointed to a page on an entry to make into the AdvancedSettings.xml. I made the addition, but it's still crashing at the same file.

This is the file that I edited: Ember Media Manager BETA/Profiles/Default/AdvancedSettings.xml

I added the entry after the last line in the Advanced Settings section right before the first "ComplexSettings" section. "Extras" is always the name of the folder.

Does this entry look correct?

<Setting Section="generic.EmberCore.Notifications" Content="None" Name="NotifyOnNewEp" DefaultValue="">False</Setting>
<Setting Section="*EmberAPP" Content="None" Name="NotValidDirIs" DefaultValue="">Extras|extrathumbs|video_ts|bdmv|audio_ts|recycler|subs|subtitles|.trashes</Setting>
<ComplexSettings>

Hi @DanCooper - any ETA on the beta release

You can build from his github if you can't wait

I see it has all the alpha branches, https://github.com/DanCooper/Ember-MM-Newscraper, does master is on the latest beta? Or I should look somewhere else...

[Fail$tyle420]

Use master branch

Master branch will be the next 1.5 Beta. I still have to fix some small bugs and rewrite the resolution definition, but it works so far.

The new word "Extras" must be lowercase.

Thanks Dan. That did the trick. Everything is working great again.

Has been fixen to case insensitive in next release ;-)

Thx Brad G. for the donation, who ever you are :-)

New episodes should be scraped while adding to database (DB Update). ATM there is no way to rescrape or scrape new episodes automatically. You can only scrape new tv shows.

Hmm Updating Library doesn't scrape new episodes here (23.3). The just show them in green text, no images (ie. poster) scraped, files not renamed, no .nfo created.
Is there an option where I can enable this?

No, its aleays enabled. But it works only if the tv show has been scraped or any unique ID (TVDB, TMDB, IMDB) has been saved for the tv show.

Hi Dan
How do I ensure that the TV Show has a unique ID?
What I usually do:
Scrape TV Show when I get a new series.
Then when I get a new episode I copy it to the folder.
In EMM (23.3) I "Update Library".
When it's done the episode name is written in the list in Green, but the file hasn't been renamed.

If I select the Episode, right click and Scrape Selected Episodes... Automatic... All
then the file is renamed as expected.

What am I doing wrong?

[Fail$tyle420]

Check your settings for auto renaming. I do the exact same thing and works as should on latest alpha. When you scrape a show it will be given a unique ID.

Thanks, I think that's it. Never noticed the settings for DB update

Hi,
How do I do this? Can you please explain the procedure. Would really like to test it so long.
Thanks
