'-Part#' should be right, did you try the latest nightly? I did fix a recent mistake that I made which would cause the same effect as the example you showed.

While talking about naming schemes.

Can VMM handle two episodes in one file, e.g. S01E11E12 (which is the naming scheme Ember uses)?
The following error is thrown when VMM processes How I Met Your Mother - S08E11E12 - The Final Page

I'm using the latest nightly.

Unfortunately no, duo-episodes are not yet correctly supported, and it's not so good with duo-body .nfo files either as it seems.
I'll be looking into that hopefully soon.

einszweidrei · 2013-02-07, 00:34

That nfo was created by Ember which handles such episodes correctly and they are fully compatible to XBMC.
Can you change the processing behavior in such a way that VMM skips errors instead of stopping?

Anyways, loving VMM Smile

It's better to fix errors then to ignore them. Wink

Edit: Good news everyone! I think i've got this multi-episode thing down on it's hands and knees, begging for mercy!. Wink

Support should be added by the next release.

You were right.. I had the 'oopsed build. All is A-Okay, thanks Blush

MariusTh86 · 2013-02-07, 20:59

Glad to hear that it's working correctly now. Wink

Well that was fast

I've got a question, not specifically about ViMediaManager, but how a media manager interacts with XBMC Frodo in terms of art. For movies, I've found that posters, fanart and extra fanart show up automatically in XBMC. However, some other types of art, especially disc art (disc.png) don't.

I've read about the Aeon Nox skin (which I'm using, not sure if this problem is skin-specific). There are some very confusing threads saying, I think, that you have to run Artwork Downloader, set to use local images in the Advanced section of the configuration. I did this. Apparently it didn't always use local images because it replaced some of the disc.png's I had in the movie folders. But it does show disc art when browsing movies now (this is in Showcase view).

I guess this is a result of how Frodo is set up, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Is there no way to just make all the kinds of art in the movie folder show up in XBMC when you scan it in?

davemul · 2013-02-10, 20:25

Hi all, im brand new to vimediamanager

Quick question

Ive gone to preferences and linked to my movie folder on my ext usb HDD

Now there are some folders in this movie folder.. but 99% are film files (mkv's, avi's etc...)

VI isnt pulling in any of the movie files.. just the odd folder!

do I have to manually create a folder for each movie file I have? that will take AGES

thanks
Dave

@Glorious1: It all depends on the skin you use, the default XBMC skin supports posters, banners (TV), fanart & ExtraFanart, other skins offer support for other images to be displayed in their layouts.

@davemul: Luckely you do not have to do so! there's an option in the 'Tools' menu that can folderize your movies automatically, just select the 'Put movie files into folders' option.
It needs the folder structure because ViMM supports new art files such as clearart, logo's and discard images, which are all named the same, and it makes it easier to recognise which movies belong together in case of multi-part files.

davemul · (This post was last modified: 2013-02-10, 20:52 by davemul.)

Thank you for the very quick reply Marius. Ok ill go do that now...

Lastly for now... ( Smile

) once all done, my xbmc on my atv2 should pick up all the art/info?

Blimey, just ticked that option and bang! all in folders! very good

MariusTh86 · 2013-02-10, 20:54

It definitely should, downloading information and images for use with XBMC is what I built it to do after all. Wink

davemul · 2013-02-10, 21:15

Working brilliantly so far in downloading pictures, nfo details.. so thank you

Do I need to do anything in XBMC? or do I just point it at my movie folder and it will all automatically pick up?

thank you

MariusTh86 · 2013-02-10, 23:00

That should about do it, perhaps you'll also need to point out what media type the folder contains. ( Movies/ TV Shows/ Music )
