Hi Komet,
just a small additional request and a question regarding compability.
1) it would be nice to be able to work with the field search title, just to be able to organize movie sets and sort movies in the apropiate ( aka custom ) order.

During the last days i tried to (re)organize my movies and worked with media elch and also vimediamanager ( vimediamanger seems to be lot more capable for grabbing posters ), but i am facing the "problem" that these two programms seems to handle the grapped jpegs slightly different. most of the times they wouldn't recognize the poster if you grab them with the "oposite" programm. while xbmc treat them all equal and display them without any problems. Is there something we can do from our side to make these both programs work togiether ?

During scrapping it looks like thatxbmc prefers movie.nfo before it looks for <moviename>.nfo, would it be possible to have some maintanence functions to sync these files for the scrapped movies ( based on <moviename>.nfo or even choosable ) ?

Last but not least it would also be great to grab extrathimbs for the movies, some skins in xbmc are cabable to handle them and it looks pretty cool :-)
Thanks for listining

1) sorttitle will be added, sorting in movie sets is already possible.
2) http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=thu...Thumbnails MediaElch stores poster as moviename.tbn, I don't know what other media managers are doing.
3) Syncing of movie.nfo and others: no. But an option to choose between movie.nfo and filename.nfo will be added later.
4) Extrathumbs: not now There are many other things with higher priority.

Does the MySQL connection really work? Or do you see a small notification in the upper right when starting MediaElch ("Connection failed")?
There's also a known bug when you try to save things while MediaElch is still scanning which is already fixed in the next upcoming version.

Hi Komet, thanks for the reply!

I don't think it's working at all. I click Save and there's a small hesitation, then spinning beachball for a second or two, then a crash. Everytime. Like I said previously, I've plugged these same credentials into SQL Grinder with no problems.

Side question: What, if any, port are you defaulting to. I think my database is looking for 3306.

I had only one movie in the Movies directory (as a test) and I believe it was all done scanning. I didn't have any TV Shows to scan.

MediaElch tries to connect to port 3306, which is the default. Please stand by, a debug mode will be added in the next release.

Hi Komet,
small comment about extensions of movies :
some tv cards store/record movies with the extension ts ( which seems to work for xbmc as well. Media elch on the other hand seems to ignore these files.
Thanks for listening

Can you make it configurable to supply the media file types such as .mp4, .m4v etc in the settings ?

Yes, this will be in one of the next releases.
