it would be nice to have an option to enable this automatically during auto scrape.
In addition to that the result is funny:
I have an option to have 2 extra thumbs.
During autoscrape it created two screenshots.
During re scrape it downloaded the two files (as per previous image) and this is the result:
I have 4 extra thumbs
I think you must put an option to delete existing extra thumbs as you have put for the other items, otherwise extra thumbs get crowded.
And my suggestion is:
divide the extra thumb in 2 options:
- number of frames from video
- number of downloaded extra thumbs (this one together with the option to autosave additional fanart to extrathumb)
in this way it will be PERFECT
Mf
The auto generation of extrathumbs checks if a file exists already, and if so, it doesn't save that thumb (or at least that's how it's supposed to work... I just looked over the code and everything seems to be in order there). If you manually extract a frame, it will save it regardless of how many thumbs are already in the folder. Are you sure you haven't manually extracted 2 frames for this movie?
We'll start working on multiple fanart/auto fanart as extrathumbs after the feature freeze.
mark007 Wrote:Movie List Losing Position
When editing a movie, when finished and I click OK. The list on the left hand side gets refreshed or something. Basically if I am at a particular movie, moving down the list for example to perform a task on each one, I lost my position every time. I need to keep scrolling down through the list, select movie, update, rescroll, find the movie I was on etc etc.
Yes, it reloads the list in case you've made changes in the editor that update the database. I'll try to come up with something as a work around for that.
mark007 Wrote:Studio Flags Not Accurate Yet / Need of way to update all when its improved
And one last thing (yes I don't have 100 things to complain about anymore, its getting really good). The studio tags are really not much good yet, I guess the studio tags generation using media info dll is the problem. Almost all of my movies have incorrect data.
Here is one in particular item that appears to have been scraped correctly, but appears incorrectly in the gui.
Movie is Body Of Lies
SDp / DX50 / MPEG Audio / 2ch /
Appears with two SD images like this . Is the two SD icons expected? Any info from the media info dll developers as to improvements. And finally is there a way to update the studio tags in one automated sweep, when media info dll gets improved.
The dll doesn't produce the images.... it just produces the data. Ember then compares that data with what's in the Flags.xml to get the images. The images in that screenshot are "proper" for that tag. You can edit the Flags.xml file yourself to change what shows for what. For instance, if you don't like the double "SD" image (I just did that to fill the space.... got tired of seeing the default question mark for almost every movie. lol) open Flags.xml (located in \Images\Flags) and remove the code in red:
