rusten Wrote:Awesome info, thank you. Some additional notes:
* Regarding cancelling while choosing a metadata option: on my side, if I move the cursor 1 second after it starts loading (which would appear to be before the image loads) it still loads the former selection. Maybe it would be good to switch the cursor state and disable input, only while the image is loading, so that it doesn't confuse people? Not my own personal concern, because I'm now aware of it -- just trying to help with a suggestion.
* Confidence Level (feature req) I wonder if it would be valuable to have a confidence level icon next to each matched movie. For exaple, if the exact (or best)-match and the popular-match are different, that would be a low confidence level icon next to that movie. This way, "Force (best match)" searches could give some level of feedback to the user, where to focus their efforts.
* Rename (feature req) I mentioned this earlier, but I think it was missed. Is there already a feature I'm missing, or that is already on the wishlist, to rename the movie when it's different than the match (and if there is, the confidence feature would be that much more valuable, IMHO). If this feature does exist, will it work with .ISO's?
* Ignore/Remove text Has there been any thought to a filter that removes text based on a resource-file (could be a simple comma-separated .txt list). For example: 720p,1080p,XVID,AVC,etc. Where these can be auto-removed from the file name and ignored in the search? Is so, we could start contributing/building the default list. If this feature does exist, it would be great to integrate with the full name-cleaning (removing underscores, proper-casing, etc) and renaming feature.
Also, a couple new "support" questions:
* What does "OFDB" stand for, OFFLINE database? If so, this would be used by Ember *only* when OFFLINE data exists, otherwise it would go out to an ONLINE movie database, is that right?
* Tools > Sort Into Folders -- will this take all files with the same name left of the file extension (MyMovie.iso, MyMovie.tbn, MyMovie.nfo, MyMovie.?? ), create a directory, and move all of the files into that directory? If so, a bit OT, does this slow XBMC (rather than simply having a flat directory of .ISO's)?
Thank you in advance!
You can always add bug reports & new feature requests and add comments to existing ones here:
http://code.google.com/p/embermediamanag...245943397#
Ignore/Remove text for lookups is already in there: settings/general/file name filters. You have to use regexp here. Yes, it's not very user friendly at the moment.
Rename feature is requested and will be in the next release (some features of this already developed and in SVN).
