Thank you.
I am hoping to one day support all of XBMC's scrapers, but that may be a while.

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.
I don't think you can do anything about that. It shouldn't be downloading any information, though. Maybe I'm missing something that XBMC is looking for so it tries to download it??

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.
There are no default values. If it can't scan it leaves it blank. I use MediaInfo.dll to scan the information, so if there is incorrect data, it's more than likely a problem with that library and not with EMM. The only one that I could see being the "fault" of EMM is the resolution descriptor because, as I mentioned earlier, it's calculated from the height and width as scanned by MediaInfo.dll.
Also, as mentioned in the first post and throughout the thread, disc images are not supported yet within MediaInfo.dll. If it can even find a video in the file at all, then it would be the first one, which, more than likely is a menu if you have a full rip. That's why you're getting resolutions/audio/etc that do not match the actual movie.

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.
At this point, that's beyond the scope of this project. I actually attempted that already, but it didn't work quite right and didn't want to dedicate the time to it yet.
mark007 Wrote: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.
You can already save fanart as thumbs. In the fanart selection dialog there are checkboxes for each image. You can check as many as you want and it will save them to thumbs.

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.
Does XBMC play .rm files? I can easily add more file types, I just want to try to keep supported video files limited to what XBMC can play. I guess it can play 99% of everything out there.... but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up by supported that 1%. lol
