Thanks a lot!

This happens if I just do Search or if I just do Refresh. If I have custom art, it vanishes. No matter what options I set. It's like it doesn't recognize my setting. I stopped using this a while ago due to this reason, and it hasn't stopped with the current update. Ideas? (I did notice that if I MANUALLY add artwork, it doesn't overwrite.)
---All custom NFOs also clear. This is also bad for items that I don't particularly want scanned but want to list.
How do I stop this from happening? I'd like to try using this scraper, but it doesn't keep anything custom.
(2016-01-20, 09:55)McButton Wrote: Yeah. Nfo for all my files. I was using Ember, but it's been buggy. I have 3 scrapers. .. but nothing fully reliable yet. It seems if I have a valid nfo that wasn't scraped in by MC, I get all new items.
I don't totally care about my odd naming. I have sets that do the job. I just don't want to have to completely scour my library for everything again.
My main worry is I get it all good. ..I have to scan my library in from another computer that doesn't have the cache, and it'll rescrape all the artwork again.
I'll test MC scrape...delete.. and see if the items stay on reload of a fres MC.
Thanks for all the work. These scrapers are a mess to keep up with.

If you open the tab, it starts downloading fanart thumbs to the left pane. Then you select a picture, click on save button, and it starts downloading its full-size image. But sometimes it takes forever ending up with "Not Responding" message, and you have to kill the process and relaunch MC.
My guess is that for some reason MC doesn't work well if asked to download a full-size image while it's downloading other images (thumbs for left pane) because this issue never happens if I click on save button after all thumbs were downloaded (but often you have to wait very long to get all thumbs depending on the movie and connection state).
Could you look into the issue? And if my guess turns out to be the case, how about halting downloading fanart thumbs until the selected full-size image gets downloaded and saved?
(2016-01-20, 17:14)McButton Wrote: Sent. It's odd. I've noticed this since the first time I tried MC years ago. It's not a HUUUGE deal...but I would think disabling overwrite would completely disable it rather than certain criteria.
Also, what is considered a non-compliant .nfo that will cause it to turn to .info?
UPDATE: Here's an important bit of info....
1) I start with a movie with poster & .nfo that I created. I add to library (which scans auto but doesn't add it in) and am then required to scan it in myself. This will overwrite my .nfo and grab a new poster.
(2016-01-20, 17:14)McButton Wrote: 2) I add my custom poster back in. IF I delete MC and Install again. I add my movie folder again...only I am not required to do anything after adding the folder. It will populate automatically in MC. If I try to scrape all again..the poster stays (since I have it set to do so).

**Side note: Ember reads the MC scrape just fine. Custom art as well.
TV SHOWS seem to pull in fine as well regardless of what program scraped the .nfo. Works perfect, actually. All my custom info is there and fine. Even on a rescan (I have my own shows added that aren't part of the internet) and not even an error. It finds the .nfo and moves on.
Lastly, still checking Home Videos. It's a cool option to be able to edit. I have mine stored as a tv show...like a few others I have...but this one just renames the .nfo to .info. Does the overwrite selector only affect Movies? I have it set to not change them. All my home vids look like Naught Amateur Home Videos now. Once I fix the .nfo, it looks ok. Doesn't grab all my individual .nfos though. Im sure it's something on my end.
Ive messed with and quit MC dozens of times. I think talking this out is making me want to just rescrape everything and use it. Thanks for all the work you've done.

1. The filter settings for actors and directors now can stick in alphabetical order. But those filters still only show actors starting with A and directors starting A thru J. Also Movie Set filter in alphabetical order shows something like "5 of unknown" for each item.
(2016-01-20, 11:29)tars Wrote: 2. Missing Credits filter doesn't work properly. It won't filter to those movies, keep listing all movies. Refresh or restart doesn't help.
(2016-01-20, 11:29)tars Wrote: 3. What does the "incomplete movie set info" filter do? I don't keep movie-set artwork and is that why the filter lists all my movie-set movies?
(2016-01-20, 11:29)tars Wrote: 4. Thanks for adding more sort options to the movie navigation panel! Currently clicking on header only has the same effect as clicking on "Inverse Order" wherever you click. How about sorting the list by "Title & Year" if the user click on that header cell when the list is sorted by another column like rating or year?

Is it possible to disable .nfo to .info change for TV shows too? It seems to only work for movies.
Thanks much!
