It turns out that you can directly update mySQL dbs! I thought the XBMC Controller module was broken altogether because I couldn't even get it to work on a local SQLite db. After you said it does wok on those, I uninstalled EMM and did a fresh install. It then worked on a local SQLite db, but even better it now also works on my central mySQL db! I turned on notifications and and changed the plot of one of my existing movies to "TEST". When I saved it in EMM, I got a notification on XBMC and when I went into the movie info for that movie the plot read "TEST". I did the same to put the correct plot back and again it worked. I know it used to not work on mySQL dbs, but maybe recent XBMC changes somehow fixed that.
This is a huge finding for me as I sorely missed this feature.
So you mean I can update all the trailer links directly in the mysql database without an export/import cycle? Amazing
Also when I tried the trailer link update with youtube/tmdb, the links were http links from youtube, not the plugin links. Is that a problem?
If it is, how do I fix it? Btw I am using 1.3.0.4 from the project site
Thanks
I've just uploaded a new version 1.3.0.5 that has an extra option for formatting the youtube links on the scraper settings. This option allows you to specify whether the link is to be formatted for XBMC or just the regular URL.
I've just released a new version that improves on the default scraping for IMDB to utilize the new trailer scraping, so no longer will you get the horrible RTMP as the default trailer link for scrapes. I've also improved the youtube scraping so that you can choose how to format the url for youtube trailers, whether to use the XBMC plugin format or just a regular URL.
I've also added the ability to download extra formats via youtube, it seems that they now have webm/vp8 formats available and so I've made it possible to download these formats if you desire.
The new file can be found at my project site which is now in my signature.
