love the software, its the only media scraper i found that sorts my music videos "correctly" for my setups, but is there a way to change the sort order of music videos? they are listed in reverse alphabetical order by track title and i cannot for the life of me see a way to change it...

Does MediaElch support creating Combination NFO files for Kodi? https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Combination

I can't seem to find any options that would place a URL at the end of the file, short of doing it manually. Is that correct?

Sorry for the late reply: To answer your question: No, we don't support that. :-)

Do you store music videos as "concerts"? It's currently not possible to sort concerts through the UI.

Thank you.

Even after the new multi-episode detection changes, MediaElch for windows 2.8.18 has a problem with files that span more than one season.

For example, I have an ISO of The Shining Disc 3. Disc 3 contains part 3 of the mini series (ie, S01E03) and it also contains Special Features (ie, S00E01)

The file is named THE SHINING(1997) s00e01s01e03.iso and both episodes get parsed as being from Season 0, ie I get S00E01 and S00E03


Similar problems occur with Long Way Round Special Edition Disc 3 which shares both Season 1 and Season 0 in a single ISO.

Thank you!

I can't find a way to change the Font/size or colors to make the UI readable for me. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I've opened an issue for that here: https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/1518
It does not work because MediaElch assumes that there can only be one season for a file. While there can be multiple episodes from a season in one file, there can't be episodes from different seasons in a file, yet.

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't check this Forum in a while and didn't have eMail notifications enabled.

There is no such option. The next MediaElch version will upgrade the UI framework and will work better with Windows's display scaling >100%. I hope that it is enough. (the current Nightly versions already contain the new UI framework version).

Hi bugwelle

First of all fantastic piece of software. Super slick and fast. And best of all it works on Linux

Just a few comments

The movie sets feature seem to have a few issues.
It's not able to pull media from the websites. For example for the Alien Collection it doesn't find images but these exist https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/80...es/posters
And the app doesn't allow specifying the MSIF folder. Which it seems is the only way for kodi to get movie set artwork.

A couple of small(?) requests:
- would it be possible to have a user definable "Folders to exclude" (similar to the Words To Exclude From Media Names in the Settings), so that these folders don't show up on the movie/tv items list. This could be used to filter out folders named like "extras" or "featurettes"
- would it be possible to add a search/filter text box for the movies?

[adama42]

Don't mean to double post but since this is a different subject.

Does MediaElch supports Parsing NFO for tv series?
It basically means using the url placed inside the tvshow.nfo outside.
Example:
 

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<tvshow>
    <title>Futurama</title>
...
</tvshow>
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/615-futurama/episode_group/5ad24bf4c3a3683eed0145a8

This is needed due to the differences between production dates and airing dates. Which result in MediaElch not being unable to pull the info for episodes.
I'm trying but not success so far.

Thanks
