@Komet - Downloaded 'mediaelch_0.9.4-1_amd64.deb' and installed OK.
MediaElch is just about ready to be used on my real data - thank you very much.
I have waited so long for a Linux Media Manager that would deal with folder nfo & gfx files - others ONLY deal with XBMC database direct - so no use if you haven't been able to scrape it previously. I get a lot of odd doco's that are not scrapable, with MediaElch I make my own .nfo .tbn .jpg posters etc files and save to folder then update XBMC later.
Some comments:
1. TVShows - When searching for episode thumbnail and none available, there is no timeout. If you don't quickly click 'close' the search continues until one of my CPU cores goes up to 100% and ram usage goes up to 98% (about 2 - 3 minutes) and system freezes nearly. Needs a 'timeout' or 'autoclose' if no thumbnail available. Had to use 'killall MediaElch' in terminal to gain control.
2. TVShows - When no date in existing TVShow folder name, search function won't show anything to search for.
eg: folder named 'Warehouse 13' will not search - folder name Warehouse 13 (2009) will scrape. Can MediaElch be made to search without (date) ?
3. Movies - Not a big problem - Movie search for folders named with other text after (date) won't scrape directly - shows an option line and you need to backspace any text after the (date) part of the name, then 'enter key'.
eg: Movie folder named 'Battleship (2012) DVDRip' - will not auto scrape until ' DVDRip' is back spaced out - Could everything after the (date) be ignored automatically for scraping ?
