hmmm..
i would love to have a simple "EDIT" mode for tv shows in MIP.
assuming you already processed all the tvshow info, all the episode infos and all the thumbnails, in this mode the only thing that MIP should do is read what is already present WITHOUT DOWNLOADING ANYTHING and WITHOUT WRITING ANYTHING TO DISK unless one hits SAVE on anything. that way a user decides what should be on disk and whats not. At the time of writing this, even in DISPLAY mode upon loading shows, MIP writes stuff to disk i did not ask it for.
for example, MIP writes season.nfo and seasonxx.tbn for ALL seasons, even if i only have one of them. i don't want nfo/tbn for stuff i don't have. although on one hand it might be clever to copy/download all that is present for a given show, unless i won't use all that data, it just blows up mip's cache and wastes diskspace for stuff i do not care of at given moment.
also, MIP keeps writing its additional sxxexx..nfo and tbn everytime i just have removed them, since i already have an nfo and a tbn for the episodes. that one is really annoying me.
all i would like to do in MIP now is to assign different fanarts to different seasons, because i cannot do that in xbmc.
Another request would be to be able to change the ALL SEASONS tbn image. i do not see a way to do this in MIP yet.
i don't want to sound rude or anything, but at this moment it just feels like there is a huge overpresence of data generated by MIP that is simply not needed. it should focus on the stuff that is present and have a closer look to data that is already on disk.
If your plans are not to deal with this in MIP, please consider this to be a really wanted feature in umx.
