Hi,
First post on this forum. I'll start to stay that I have been a kodi user for about 3 years, and came across EMM these past days and since then it has much increased my user experience. This software is fantastic.
Some questions below though, but first a few words on my set-up: i have an HTPC with 3 drives containing different media types, the machine runs the latest LibreElec version. On the other side I have a Win10 machine on which EMM is installed.
Movies and TV shows paths in EMM are pointing to the corresponding folders on the HTPC, and everything has been freshly scraped.
Question #1 on collections: the collections are using the poster of one of the movies in the collection.
I understood that EMM can also handle movie sets with dedicated artwork, so i followed the instructions of the post nailed at the top of the forum, read a few other posts on the topic and went ahead. While EMM scraped movie sets and retrieved movie collections artwork, it didn't work so well on the HTPC side: all movie posters disappeared and the movie sets artwork freshly scraped aren't showing up (i can find the files though on the newly created "MovieSetArtowrks"): what did i miss?
Question #2: i assume that EMM allows movie themes download because they can be played while browsing through the media in the library. What add-on or skin should i use for that? I have been using Estuary up until today (just installed Estuary Mod for Kodi 17), and google told me there is a TvTune add-on that should enable theme playing, but i don't find it, is there anything else I should use instead?
Question #3: overall, my use of EMM is as follow: i update my library when i have new media on the HTPC, do the scraping with EMM (HTPC is configured to read "local information"), and once artwork files are on the HTPC, that's it. I have locked MPAA ratings after i aligned them on the US standards, in order to create then video playlist for children, so that they aren't changed if for any reason I scrape the whole library again. So under the present config, there is no auto sync between EMM and the HTPC; am i missing the point with EMM then?
Thanks for your help; and let me know if i need to clarify anything here!
