This might be annoying, but could you try doing a search for a movie with umlauts while removing the umlauts? so the "Die Affäre" would be just "Die Affare", and see if it returns any results then?

Using the "Sort movie files into folders"-Command, for every file a new folder will be created !

Correct, you'll have to look out for that one..

There shouldn't be many other big differences.

If with output sheet you mean something like 'export to webpage', it's in the 'ideas to add' list. Wink

Thanks for your message. What are the missing file formats and actually what exactly is the media info you mentioned earlier that is missing as well? Was thinking you referred to resolution (eg, 720p) and source (eg, bluray), but wanted to make sure.

I wouldn't export to a webpage, but basically the same feature. Thinking of a way that i can print a list of all my movies and tv shows with some basic infos with it.

media info is the height, width, resolution, aspect, audio format and video language information, which would come directly from the video file itself.

Got it, thanks! Looking forward to this being implemented.

With emm original developer not being active anymore, it appears that vimm is the future!

Also, given it uses imdbapi.com instead of imdb.com, it should even work in china, which is terrific.


Video format *.ts and *.m2ts - mad2030 - 2011-10-07 13:03

Hello,

i have some Videos in the *.ts and *.m2ts format (Transport Stream), that were not recognized when i`m trying to use the Function ... Sort Movie Files into Folders.

So i have to manually rename the extension of the Movies to *.mkv.
Please can you fix this?

TIA

MAD

Thank @MariusTh86 for quick reply.

By the way, removing the umlauts did the Job for me !!!

"*.ts" and ".m2ts" should be added in the next release.

So translating special characters to normal characters is a start, i might be able to use that.

Since there seems to be a lot of interest in ViMM & I couldn't develop an app even if you held a gun to my head, I thought I'd throw a quick bit of promo Marius' way...

If you like ViMM & appreciate Marius' hard work then please consider buying him a drink or something. Use the "Donate" button in the top right corner of the ViMM app.

Thanks for the promotion demosthien! Wink

Hi there
Here the link to the nfo file http://pastebin.com/tnS3xenH
in the meantime i took the freedom to reset to factory defaults and everything is working just fine, incl. this nfo file.
looks a bit strange, maybe during the manual search and switch to another show the program got confused a bit ?

Special local charsets : i guess all these movies collection will be played on xbmc or other devices ( i just looked into HDI Dune for living room and xbmc for other places ) and there should be local support for local charset.
we do all this collection to make our Hometheater pretty and increase the WAF ( Wife acceptance factor ) grow :-)

Feature request :
------
Deep directory scan :-)
got most movies scanned, but still lots of deep directories missing
------
Again, pls display the path in the manual search but more important also in the info dialog of a movie
Situation :
a) if you have 2 versions of a movie ( DVD Strukture and MKV for streaming to tablet ), nice to know what are your editing
b) to do a quick verifcation if everything got correctly recognized is quit handy to see the filepath directly, so you can confirm that everyting is ok, without being forced to use "display in filer " ( This feature is great to manuel editing your structure and shouldnt go :-) )
-----------
multible edit of genre, Studio,........
--------
Sort movie list by : Name, year, Rating, Genre, Studio
( to easly see where you have to do manual editing )
--------
Flag to protect movie from being rescrapped ( specially you you can rescrap multiple selected movies )
--------
just a thought
Export to ........
Lets say you export one xml for Movie and another one for TV.
to enable everyone to format the xml in a way they want you could make :
1) Selction for fields for output
2) the xml tags for the output fields editable.
3) Store this in lets say 3 or for sets so every user can define different exports ( Webpage, third party player, etc. )


If i should stop creating ideas pls let me know :-)

Thanks for listining
Linus
