Not sure since when it's bugged but i have clicked by error on the "Table" tab in the movie part and i have got this error several time before i could quit the tab.

Unable to reproduce, but have you done a Refresh All on your movies. Then close Media Companion, and restart it.
I suspect something to do with MovieSets, but at this time, unable to reproduce myself.
If the above does not fix it, can you zip up the moviecache.xml file, upload somewhere and PM me a link.

I've finally moved to a new computer (and OS Win 10Pro) and have installed 3.6.77 (64x) MC. I have set it up from scratch.

I am still experiencing the same problem in regard to the runtime of the movie that we discussed some pages back.

The checkbox "Save Runtime as DurationInSeconds" is ticked, but when the nfo is saved I only get a 1sec duration in the nfo. The runtime does save it would appear, but when this is loaded into KodiTV, the runtime is always "0" - even though the runtime is listed in the nfo. Duration remains at 1sec and seesm to be the field KodiTV looks at.

Checking the "save media as runtine" box makes no difference as far as the duration in seconds go (as expected)

The last version that worked correctly for me was 3.6.55. It appears that the runtime is being scraped from the file (regardless of if "Display runtime from Scraper" is selected). I tried a real file (see below) and durationinseconds was entered corectly.

I rename .txt files to iso (fake video files) and do all my scraping / setup / nfo creation outside of my server environment (always have because its off a lot of the time). Then I copy all the resultant files from MC to my server, then write the real video file out to it.

Hope you can shed some light on this. Thanks for your efforts on this project.

this is the clue, and possibly easy way for me to reproduce.

I'll have a look in the morning, but if I'm right, should have this fixed for the next release....end of the week.

Fantastic! I figure I'm one of the few that does it this way - easy to overlook a bug with a zero time file as most probably work with a real video file. Always appreciated. Thanks.

You'd probably find that MC 3.667b was the last correctly working version with Save runtime as duration in seconds.
Seems when I refactored the code, I wiped this option out.

Fix in place for the next release.

Hello again,

I have a new issue...

3.6.77 also doesn't show the images from fanart.tv (you can see the bounding box for them and the radio button, but not the images themselves) - so you can't choose which one to download. I went back to my old machine using 3.6.55 and it is also doing it - and a fresh install of 3.6.55 on my new machine makes no difference. Very odd.

Thanks again.

Vbat99,

What is the benefit on MC of entering our own TMDB key?

vbat99 · 2017-09-10, 06:25

A couple of users requested if they could apply their own key, so added this option.
Otherwise media companion user it's own TMDB key.

Hey my fine fellow kiwi,

I am pleased to report the latest release resolves my "duration" issue and the fanart.tv issue.

Thank you very muchly. Smile

vbat99,

TVshows NFO's list the actor with no picture first. Is there a setting to:

Not include actors without a photo in the NFO or list no photo actors' at the end of the NFO?

TIA

There is an option to exclude actors without a thumbnail.
General Preferences -> Actor(s) tab.
Exclude Actors without Thumbnail

There is no option to move these actors tot he end of the nfo.
This is because the actors are sorted by Order Of from TVDb.
