- XBMC has the ability to scrape your media for you and saves the posters, fanart and metadata directly in the XBMC database called video34.db. With the introduction of Dharma, scrapers became addons.
- Ember Media Manager is an external scraper, meaning it gives the user the choice of what and how to scrape. The difference with XBMC scrapers (though they use the same sources) is that all the posters, fanart, trailers, extrathumbs and nfo's (containing the movie information) are saved together with the files.
You can change the scraper to use in Ember but I think you have to do it as an extension and not copy/paste from the XBMC addon folder.
About the full cast option: that is a workaround in Ember that makes it scrape using IMDB's old layout. IMDB recently modified its website structure and Ember has not been reprogrammed to take this into account. You need to turn on full cast in Ember if you want it to work with IMDB. The full cast option has nothing to do with XBMC.
Thanks for your help.
I do know that Ember is an external program,other than XBMC.
I'd like to use mymovies.it XBMC scraper within Ember as i'm from Italy and Ember default scraper import info only in English.
With older version of xbmc scrapers you could do that, following the instructions found in Ember wiki. With the new ones that instructions doesn't work for me, the populate button doesn't work.
I read in this thread that someone managed to make them work but i cannot find the exact way described.
Can someone explain it?
