It is good if you modify Ember as you proposed anyway.
For EMM's purposes (and for 99% of XBMC usage) the ID is the IMDB ID. I'll try to work on the IMDB URL in the nfo issue some time today.

wallpaper and all the info works fine, but the folder.jpg i have to manually browse for.
(The files (avi, nfo, jpg) are on an external HD)
anyone else has this problem and a possible solution?
thanks.
I don't think XBMC supports the folder.jpg file type, does it? It's just included in EMM for people who browse their collection via Windows Explorer.
MrDVD Wrote:I right now tested this with one movie and it didnt work here.Code:Changes in r257:
Feature: When proper nfo is not found or is non-conforming and does not contain IMDB ID, look for any other nfo in the folder and try to get IMDB from them.
I have an folder called AAA with an mkv inside also called AAA.mkv and an nfo called BBB.nfo where an ttxxxxxx is inside but EMM ignore this file. The url inside this nfo point to http://www.imdb.de but i thing this was not important as you search only for tt......
Do i have to change something inside my settings ?
No... no settings need to be changed. It doesn't matter what is in the file as long as it has "tt######" in there somewhere. It's read as text and a regex match is performed to find the ID. I'll do some testing on this today to try to figure out why it's not working for you.
EDIT: Found the problem. It will occur when you have no usable files at for the selected movie. It was skipping over the nfo check because it was assuming there is nothing there. Now it attempts to load the nfo whether it thinks it's there or not. Working fine for me. The fix will be in the next release.
garyi Wrote:Christ there really does need to be a different thought process on these types of thread. Perhaps app development could get its own forums like skins do. There are current 76 pages on this one and all I want to know is, if I have infos and jpgs already for my movies will this app be able to work with them. I like the clean looking interface so would like to move over to it.
Sorry if its been asked in this uber mammoth thread before.
You just have to select the proper file-types in settings and it should work just fine.
bramblepants Wrote:I came over from MIP and it imported and read all the nfos and images I already had associated with my movies, if that helps?!
On another note, I think the problem is a WIKI or help file is needed for this app. Probably something which users could assist with creating, but is difficult at this stage as the app is rapidly changing and getting new features all the time!
It's definitely on my list of things to do. I just don't have the time to dedicate to documentation at this point. Eventually I'll move everything over to my server (just keeping the Google Code page for SVN and file storage) and install an open WIKI so it would be easier for users to update.
Nuno Wrote:Hi,
Nul will shoot me because of this but I will do it anyway…
Using the words from bramblepants
To all EMM user and friends:
If you are a good English writer, I ask you to help out EMM and do some Documentation (Helps) for EMM.
I know nul will do it sometime, but he have a lot of work fixing and improving EMM, and I’m sure his time is not enough for everything.
We (EMM user and friends) should give back a little of what he receive from him.
“Why you don’t do it yourself?”
I would if I was a good English writer . I’m not, so I try to help patching and adding/subjection new functionalities.
I think (but nul can/will confirm) that Documentation maybe done in rtf/doc or HTML (easy to implement inside EMM)
I apologize if I’m abusing… but EMM is a great tool, and nul have done a Great job with it, just want give back some, and help this Nice tool to be even better.
PS: This is not one time work.. is a continued work where all EMM community can help
*shakes fist* Where are the gun smilies?? lol j/k No, actually this would be a big help to me to have someone be in charge of documentation. I think it's getting about time to expand the team (as much as I hate to say that.... it's like letting your daughter go on her first date. lol)
AnalogKid Wrote:Hey Nul,
If you get a chance... would you mind taking a look at this thread... particularly from page 3 onwards...
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49801
would love to get your input into the ideas going on here... (It's about rationalising the messy situation with artwork naming and all the possibilities that are possible today).
/The Kid
Funny, the first few releases of EMM tried to "force" a standard for filenaming in an attempt to keep things a little cleaner..... we all know how that ended up. lol I'm not sure if I'll have any useful input to add to the thread, but I'll read over it later today.
Ramshackles Wrote:I really love this app over the others, still curious about a few things:
1. Ability to change how the app handles multi-part .iso files (300, lord of the rings etc), since XBMC doesnt support stacking iso files, any chance of both files showing up in your app? That way I could name one part 1 and the other part 2 so it would be showing up nicely in library view
2. Ability to scrape from moviedb instead of imdb? for instance, tiesto has a dvd on moviedb but none exist on imdb and i'd love the info.
I think these can be implemented. Please add them as feature requests to the google code issues page and I'll work on them some time.
