Hello there,
I have a couple of problems with newest xbmc frodo. They are so annoying that I post them all at once. I hope to find some general informations about them. It's impossible I'm the only one suffering from them.
1) Setting Universal Artist Scraper in Music-Settings doesn't work. When looking-up interpret-informations I have to set the scraper manually for every interpret every time.
2) "Recently added videos" doesn't work in confluence
3) The database is buggy!
-In videos-file-mode some already scraped movies lost pictures and infos. When re-scraping them I get double-entries in the database.
-The music-library just lost content today. Covers, Artist-Informations and fanarts for most entries are just gone.
-No possibility to manually group movies in database. Only sometimes CD1, CD2, CD3 etc. get grouped together into one "collection". Only well-known movie-collections get grouped.
-No possibility to add movies not available in online-databases. Very annoying since access for them is only possible from file-mode-view (which is loosing infos as mentioned before).
-Library-update for videos is causing wrong entries. About 50 movies not present on HDD occur in the database after an update. They all have numbers in title.
4) XBMC is crashing very often. I'm using xbmc to record TV-shows. When this happens at night, the computer doesn't shut down when finished. Bugs can occur - that's okay. But could someone write a background-daemon to re-start xbmc in such a case? A daemon not intercepting a shutdown of course.
5) DVD-Ripping not possible from within XBMC. This one is actually a real feature-lack. Please don't argument with piracy-concerns. There are tons of torrent- and filehosting-addons for xbmc. But a way to transfer my expensive DVD-collection is just missing. I suggest xbmc's database is not made for p2p-movies. So please add a DVD-RIP-feature.
6) Missing TV-to-DVD-record-function.
7) Missing Webradio-Ripping. Artists get money for this. Please don't disable it.
Used version: XBMC Frodo on Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Precise) as 64-bit-version with TV-Headend for TV.
