Hey bud! Hope things have gotten less stressful and all. Quick Question on Move Article to end for TV: Will a batch rescrape fix, or for existing shows will we need to correct manually?

The option is on Scrape/Rescrape, but also visually.
What I mean is, if you have the show
The BlackList, and the option in Preferences is enabled, then in MC you will see the sort title is now showing
Blacklist, The

You can click the 'Save' icon on that series and then the sort title will be saved to the tvshow.nfo file as "Blacklist, The"

No need to rescrape. just go show by show.

I have not included this as an option in the rewrite nfo in Batch wizard.

Hi vbat
Thanks for the latest update, however i am still having isues where the Outloine is still not scraping properly.
When I select the oiptn to rescrape the movie, or just the Outline I get ths error (sorry, can only hyperlkink the image)

Screenshot

To get around this error I have to delete the movie, and re-add it as a new movie.

Any suggestions how to stop this error ?

That is a very odd error message, and indicates some issue with MC not being able to read the path to the nfo.

Just to check, You don't have Media Companion extracted to your desktop? or into Program Files folder or a User folder?? Any of these (even the download folder) could cause Media Companion to exhibit strange behavior. I usually recommend a sub folder directly in the root of C or D drive.
https://sourceforge.net/p/mediacompanion...installMC/
Excert

Code:

Do not use program files or User Folders, on Vista or above machines. Due to User Access Control (UAC) on these systems, it stops MC from writing configuration files to these folders. desktop, documents or User folders are not recommended!

I have had it in a subfoder in the "Documents" folder - obviously I missed the excerpt.
I'll move it, and try again
Thanks for the super-quick reply

@vbat99 firstly thanks for the great work witht this superb software and for keeping it updated!

I use latts modded skin for the Aeon MQ 8. This skin requires that certain details are in the filename in order to show the icons. For example ATMOS, HDR, 10bit etc.

Using the 'Renaming/Naming' tab in 'Movie Preferences' I manage to get ATMOS in to the filename usinf '%A'.

However I am unable to get HDR and 10bit to be put in the filename. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, I see that movies that have DTS HD-MA audio codec show only 'dts' in the filename when using '%A'. Is there any way to get 'dtshd' to be put in the filename using 'Renaming/Naming' tab?

Thanks!

At present MC doesn't retrieve HDR or 10bit and store this is MC

As for DTS HD-MA being only dts, changing this would also break Kodi default skin which reads this for the correct display icon.

Is there a trick to downloading trailers again.  Some download but most don't.

Tested downloading trailers for 8 different movies, all trailers downloaded fine.

Not scrape...wont download trailer.

First test...
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (2020) - Does not have any trailers listed against the movie on TMDB.

But...
My First Summer (2020) - has three trailers, but I couldn't download them in MC. Will check this out and let you know.
