For rescanning Library
Thanks and while on the point, do you know how to stop xbmc from looking to the scraper to gather extra info. The only way I can quickly rescan my movies is to disconnect network connection. Otherwise it takes a long time for xbmc to go through them all and this is unnecessary because emm has everything tagged perfectly.
For incorrect flags.
For my blu-ray rips in .m2ts files they are detected as Divx Video, 480p, mp3, dolby 2.0, but they are all blu-ray, 1080p, and either trueHD or DTS-HDMA , LPCM or a combination of these.
For DVD's, all are detected as DivX Video, 480p or 576i, mp3, dolby 2.0, but they are all dvd, 576p, (probably because 99% of my DVD's and many others are badly marked as interlaced, you shouldn't rely on the interlaced flag here), dolby 5.1, dts 5.1, dolby 2.0 etc etc
Gathering accurate information might be tricky. Could you use open source splitters or something to make your job easier?
For the situations above where it couldn't gather the right information, I feel it shouldn't default to these values above, it should default to not giving any information at all which will help us figure out which movies emm couldn't get data for and can do it manually ourselves.
For getting thumbs
Could you also use free decoders, like libavcodec mpeg2 for example for DVD thumbnail generation to also make life easier. At the moment it can't generate thumbs for my m2ts files for example.
Requests
Just wondering (ok its a request, but I can make this request at a later point if your mostly concentrating on gettings things fixed), but when downloading fanart for a movie, I would love to have the option of
1) Selecting the fanart from the list available, and
2) Optionally choosing from the fanart list to also generate thumb1, thumb2 etc. I would love to use the new multiplex view in aeon, and have the 3 most beautiful fanart's as my fanart, thumb1 and thumb2. Not sure if others would like this.
and I suppose lastly
3) To also have an option to automatically create thumb1 and thumb2 from fanart, ie select a fanart automatically like the current version, but instead of generating thumbs, to choose fanart 2 and fanart 3 as thumb1 and thumb2.
Forgive me for all of these requests, just getting them out of my mind before I forget
Filetypes Not Found
Also I have some files of various types like .rm files that arn't picked up. The .rm files I had got correctly moved to folders, but after that emm never lists them in the movies list. Not sure how you could reliably get a list of video types, but I think there is somewhere in the registry that lists all video file types (actually leaves out m2ts apparantly on vista).
Thanks for looking into the other problem.
