MvScraper [Updated 21.09.11 v0.3] [Scrape Musicvideo - Generate NFO,SQL] - lilfire - 2011-09-08 20:24
MvScraper
Since the MTV scraper does not work anymore and yahoo scarper are not stable, I decided to develop my own scraper, MvScraper.
It's still in an early version and contains probably some bugs.

I pointed this to my music video folder, which contains nicely formatted folder names and pretty dumb internet-scene type names in the individual folders. After configuring the settings I hit generate and it's been "working.." for awhile. I've only got around 50 music videos, and it's been running for at least an hour or so.
Should I do anything else, or let it do it's thing?

Sorry. Forgot to mention that it currently is only supported files in the same folder with the name: Artist - Title.
Can you give me your folder tree? Then I try to get immplementert support for it in the next version.
Will try to separate the GUI in a separate thread for the next version so you can see prossesen

this outputs to the same folder your scraping i assume since there isn't a setting to assign an output folder?
i ask cause ive left it running for maybe 20 mins or so thus far and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
win xp 32 SP 3
files are all in the same folder and formatted as follows.
Trapt - Headstrong.mp4
all mp4

My mistake again. The first time I publish a program. I forgot to add the settings for the file extension, MP4 is not hardcoded in. It only support avi and mpg at the moment, heck that i forgot that. Wil fix it in the next version. I will try to get the new version out next week.
- ECEC - 2011-09-08 22:26
My folder structure looks like:
\Music Videos\Artist - Title\whatever.ext
- lilfire - 2011-09-08 22:32
Okey. I wil immplementert support for it in the next version.
- lilfire - 2011-09-13 22:10

So this time it worked, but it only worked for two music videos out of the bunch. What kind of info do you need from me to troubleshoot?
- lilfire - 2011-09-14 08:54
If you can give me the exact folder name, and name of the files in the folder, for 5 videos that it didn't work for.
