Is there a preference for what country's rating to grab? Judging by the way the field is titled "MPAA Rating", it's locked to the USA, which is incorrect for me —*I have Ember configured to grab the UK rating from IMDB.
(This field is also showing blank for existing movies with UK ratings, BTW)
Thanks

Unfortunately, ViMM is currently only attuned for the USA MPAA ratings.
Hopefully I'll be able to make it more internationally aware in the future.

Just started messing around with the tv section but I gotta know. In the tv section, extra art is used for what on XBMC? and What do you save it as?
- MariusTh86 - 2011-10-02 23:41
Besides the usual 'poster', 'banner' and 'fanart' which is visible throughout the general XBMC interface, there are some 'extra art' files that are only used by specific skins.
ClearArt, CharacterArt, Logo's and TV Thumbs are those extra art images.
Feature request - Linusorg - 2011-10-03 10:32
Hi,
first of all thanks for the work, i love the idea to have a media manager for osx.
Here some ideas to improve this application :
1) Scanning :
- if you scan huge libraries could you pls add a cancel button to the scanning dialog ? Force quit is not a nice way to cancel the application :-)
- Starting up with a huge dataset take a lot of time , maybe start and fill the list in the background.
- I have some directories that contains multiple sudirectories ( store all Star trek Movies in one Main directory, same goes for Charly Chaplin, Walt Disney etc. ), actually there is no "deep scan" within you program, but ... would be nice
2) Scrapping :
- I got some old fashion TV Movie sets ( f.e. "Pan Tau" , Catweezle , etc. ) and also some old movies and it would be nice to have at least some fallback sites for TV shows aka "if tvdb do not find the show look on imdb" ( they also have a huge tv show lib)
3) TV Show episode list
- it would be very nice to support in this upcomming feature also people who have DVD structures for shows :
24
--- 24 Season 01
------- 24 S01E01E02E03E04
------------ VIDEO_TS
------------ AUDIO_TS
Thanks for listening
Best Regards
Linus

1) I've been researching how to cancel the progression dialog cleanly, since force quitting the app just to close a progress dialog is not very nice indeed.
I've been thinking of how to use some 'deep scanning' methods, and may have come up with an idea, with some luck and experimentation, I'll be able to get back on this later. ^^
2) Currently I'm using official API's from the TVDB and TMDB which make it easy to find and scrape information about movies and tv shows, unfortunately IMDB does not currently provide such an convenient API...
3) I'm also still in the progress of adding a method to show episodes and their data, and your structure certainly adds a new method to the mix. ^^
I hope i'll be able to add it and episodes in general to the list.

Thx for the fast reply
Sorry for adding additional option here. i dont know, but i prefer to use DVD & BR just to have the complete Movie feeling.
If you need help for testing maybe, some coding etc. pls let me know.
Looking forward to the next build
Best regards
Linus

No need to be sorry, just more folder structures to be mindful off.
Just post feedback in this thread if you run into something or have more feature requests, and I'll look into it. ^^

Any chance of porting this to Windows? - bsoriano - 2011-10-03 17:11
Marius,
Any chance of porting this to Windows? Unfortunately, in Windows there does not seem to be any Media Manager right now which is being actively developed and supported, and yours looks really good and you provide very prompt responses to issues and problems! Thank you.
Regards,
Bart
