For everyone having problems the most recent version is 1.521
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-7a076036.html
This is the version you need to be using.
Could you pm me an exact copy of the contents of the nfo file thats causing a crash, aswell as details of filenames, path names, and the filenames of everything else contained in your test folder (If you can duplicate this error with only one movie and nfo file then this will allow me to fix it)
A few of you have mentioned how great a file re-namer would be and it would be fairly simple for me to implement. The only thing that concerns me is things like rar files. While it would be a simple matter to rename the rar file itself, don't the contents of the rar (usually subtitles) need to be the same as the other filename.
Doing more with fanart is also my intention, and what you are asking for will be included in the near future.

chepnut Wrote:Just tried the new version and it crashed on 2 different machines one vista x86 and the other xp pro. It would crash when I would try to scan my movie folder. So after reading the thread I decided to set up a test folder and put 1 movie in there. It crashed so I removed all the nfo's and other stuff in the folder and just had the avi file. It scanned and didn't crash, now its going to be kinda a pain to go and remove all of my nfo's from my movies but after thats done, I will just do it automatically from any new movies I add into my folder. Now if somebody can tell me how to automatically add movies to xbmc without having to go into each file and click on movie info in order for xbmc to see all the details. it would be appreciated.
I don't want to divert this thread into that subject so could a kind soul pm me about the easiest way to get movies into the library.
Thanks

bionic1234 Wrote:Finally had a chance to test this with two movies. One with empty trailer tag in nfo file, one with trailer tag removed from nfo file.This has to be an XBMC bug
Same outcome for both movies, trailer is not visible if nfo exists in folder.
I will need to update to Atlantis build (my build is a couple of weeks old now) and then I will submit a bug (if problem still exists)
bionic1234 Wrote:Awesome: Confirmed fixed for all except:This is a small problem that occurs because I wish to list episodes in order within the listbox. The episode counter would scan up through the episodes and when one does not exist then it assumed that no more were available. This has been fixed and will be ok from the next build.
FYI billyad: I tested several tv shows where I have scattered episodes (incomplete seasons), and nfo files are created (as usual) for each&every episode however even though nfos are created not all episodes are actually visible in the Media Companion GUI?
It's weird because there is no difference between the episode nfo files that do show up versus the nfo files that do not show up.
?arhol Wrote:Hi. Thank you billyad2000 for this great app. I am using XBMC Media Companion few days and i have request. I'm from Poland and i have problem with specific polish language signs like "?" in my nick, when i edit plot. I can't see polish letters on my xbox. This problem happen only when i change TV Shows nfo. I discovery that the Movie nfo files is UTF-8 coding and TV Shows files are ANSI coding. When I change TV Shows nfo from ANSI to UTF-8 with Notepad (Save as -> Coding: UTF-8) everything is ok ( I see polish letters on xbox), but this take to much time. Can you set default coding for TV Shows nfo to UTF-8? I think this is not only my problem.I'll look into this.
P.S. I know my english is poor, but try to understand me.

It would also be great to get a choose FanArt button similar to the thumb preview, maybe allowing you to pick the one you want and not download the extras.
