- Glave - 2011-09-02
I managed to add NZBMatrix as a provider, but I can't get any others to add. It was giving an error (had 500 in it) but now it doesn't even give me that much.
Also, I was trying to import previous my previous movie folder, but I must be misunderstanding the process. I got it to pull in a list of my movies, but I couldn't figure out how to select some to upgrade.

I imported ~350 movies and I'm not really sure what to do next.

since i download the movie covers from iTunes, is it possible to download the covers in a folder and then when a movie becomes available and downloads it just uses the cover i downloaded for the movie?
or even have AutoMovies grab the cover from iTunes API?

First of all, thanks for a great tool. I managed to install it on my qnap nas and it works great.
But I have a problem with the renamer. It runs, but it seems it only recognizes .avi files as video files? I tried with mkv's and img's and I get the error:
Error: no video files found!
Is there a setting somewhere I have missed?

Hello! First of all congratulations for this app and thanks for helping the "common" user to speed up the media center experience
I've seen some tools to automatically download movies and tvshows...But only from torrents or nz...
What about download providers? Like filesonic for example?!?
Thank you!!!

Seems like a great idea. I did have a couple questions:
- Is it possible to kick off the application without the command prompt window and have it running in the background?
- In Settings > General I tried to modify the web port by removing the existing number and typing in my own. It replaced it with 65535 more than once. It seemed to occur when I entered "2" as the starting value, but not when I entered "1".
- In Settings > Downloading it added the NBZMatrix as not enabled, but I see no way to change it through the application.

still had no luck with this. Tried a clean install, as it were, but still have the same "connection refused" error.
- nrgaway - 2011-09-04
Will this work with java version "1.5.0_14"? That seems to be all my NAS will support at the moment.

same connection error - otherwise very excited! (win7 64x) SaB API key is correct

+1 for getting a fix for this. Program has so much more potential than CP (in my eyes) but this error is a pretty major flaw right now I'd say :/

I hadn't added a check yet for this setting, so it ignored whatever you had set for that. I just added the check though, so it'll be in the next release

Yeah, no other providers are supported yet (except for Newznab, which is in the next release). The labels in the drop-down menu are just place-holders. The import process works like this:
- Select your movie folder and default quality for the movies in that folder
- Wait for the scan to finish pulling details (it'll only show movies that you don't have in our database yet)
- Remove movies from the list that you don't want imported. You can use ctrl+click and shift+click to make selection easier (just like in Windows Explorer).
- Change the quality, status, and quality profiles for movies, depending on your needs.
- Click the 'Import' button. Movies that remain in the list will be added to our database with the properties (status, quality, etc) that are shown. We'll look for only better qualities (as defined by your profile for the movie) than the one listed for a movie.

Hmm, I've never used iTunes to grab movie covers... what advantages does this have over grabbing it automatically from sites like IMDB, TMDB, etc? If the iTunes API has an accurate way to look up covers for movies (based on IMDB id, etc) then I see no reason why we can't add that as another source. However, Apple tends to do their own thing in a lot of cases, so it wouldn't surprise me if they have their own IDs for movies, which would make accurately identifying movies quite a bit harder.

Sorry about that -- I noted this in my release on page 7, but I forgot to add recognition for other video file extensions before releasing. It's added now though, so the next release should support renaming all video formats.

Thank you!!!
Interesting idea... are movies shared frequently/reliably through these download providers? Do they have APIs to search for files, and associated meta data (like web link [to IMDB]) that we can use to match movies to downloads? As you can tell, I'm not too familiar with these download providers

To answer your questions:
- We'll do this down the road, for sure. To me, it's just a cosmetic thing and we need to focus on functionality and stability before this.
- Strange... that field has a minimum value of 1, and a maximum value of 65535. There's no auto-correction that I know of, so I'll take a look at this issue and see if I can reproduce it.
- Click the little pencil (edit) icon for this entry in the Providers grid. A dialog box will come up with editable settings for that provider.

Regarding this error, can everyone that's having this issue provide more details on your environment? Things like OS/version, Java version, and SAB version and anything 'special' you can think of would be helpful. Just trying to identify any patterns at this point
nrgaway Wrote:Will this work with java version "1.5.0_14"? That seems to be all my NAS will support at the moment.
I'm not positive on this, but I'm pretty sure I use some java features that were new in version 1.6, so I doubt it would work (you can always give it a shot though!)
Feature request - lotus503 - 2011-09-07
Once again thanks for a great app, I am using it to go over roughly 1200 dvdrips for upgrading to 720 or better, so far its doing well.
The NZB Matrix API limits are a pain in the ass and forces one to do 100 item and hour batches with 150 being the cap for the day.
I notice that once you force a scan it must complete, even if you close the app it just goes from where it left off, being able to kill the job like you can import scanning would be very helpful in working with large collections and API limits.
Newzbin has a 5 search per minute API limit and from what I understand thats it, may be worthwhile provider to add.
- turok - 2011-09-09
@lotus503:
Yeah, API limits for large movie queues was one of my concerns, but I decided to worry about it later, after we add some more providers and see how many folks are really being affected by API limits. Thanks for the suggestion about controlling the queue processing and adding Newzbin -- Newzbin is the next provider I'm adding (after Newznab, which is already added but needs some testing).

How does this currently work? Also, any more "adders" in place yet? IMDB does not work in China, so would be great to have some "adder" that works over here as well. Thanks!
