[vbat99]

I have just noticed that when i run the mc_com.exe as batch to update new movies, it doesn't work with video_ts dvd folders.

If i scrape the same folders within the program it works fine but the batch file creates nfo's and tbn's etc for every vob file within the folder. Some even have random movie information in.

I have set the movie preferences to use folder names for scrapes etc but that hasn't helped.

Is it the way that file is set up? i would like to use it in a schedule to scrape new movies from couchpotato.

I can't find any dvd preferences in this latest version.

thanks

This issue came into play in versions 3.501b to 3.503b, and is now fixed in 3.504b and later.

As for auto scheduling froim couch potato, that depends on if your running couchpotato on Windows.

Create a post processing script to call mc_com.exe with -m. ie: c:\MC 3.505b\mc_com.exe -m. Note directory may differ depending where you've put the latest Media Companion.

I use this for Sickbeard as I didn't like the nfo sickbeard created, as well as MC gathered the media info for each video it scanned.

Quick google got me this link, hope it helps.

Is there a way for MC to append the filenames of ALL movies in your collection to include the source, so that xbmc can display the propper dvd/bluray/divix/3D bluray cases in the library.

Basically I need to rename, for example ' topgun.mkv ' to ' topgun bluray.mkv ' or to ' topgun dvd.mkv ' (whichever video source the file uses)

I have since began renaming my new movies but having a problem getting existing movies renamed easily. Trying to take advantage of certin skins being able to recognize the video source without having to manually rename 1000+ of them.

Thanks..
Great program BTW!

I wish there was an easy way to deal with this, but MC would have to be able to decide what video files was DVD and what is Bluray. And with some may BdRips, resolutions etc, that won't be easy to impliment.

I would suggest having two movie source directories, one for DVD and other for Bluray, and using something like Bulk Rename Utility to append bluray to all files withing bluray folder, and DVD to the files in DVD folder.

It'd be faster and simpler to maintain for future files.

This way, MC can scrape the files, you add BLURAY at the end of the filename, but before the suffix, ie: .mkv and refresh MC and all would work well.

Just a thought.
