Hi MariusTh86, and chance of getting your wonderful tool to recognize .strm files as well so I use it with IceLibrary files? Thx for the great work so far!

Quote:ClearArts, Logo’s and TV Thumbs are currently not auto downloaded because they’re from a different website then the TVDB’s, I may create an extra step in the future, inside the program to automatically download the first ClearArt, Logo or TV thumb available on scraping a tv show.
i'm so happy i found this app, but i must say that having to do this individually really slows things down. is there any progress on this?

another note, it would be nice to be able to turn off the delete function, if i want to rescrape my library, then batch meta data is pointless when i have to click a 1000 times

thanks

Hi Marius. I have another wish beside the set support.
Maybe for Version 2.5 ;-)

How about a concert section? In xbmc there is a Musikvideo db which could hold em. Here is a nice scraper which does a good work. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=909830
But there is no way to get the .nfo files with Vimedia cause it will only produce nfos for Movie section.

I think there is a large amount of users looking for something like that. and I think no mediamanager does that.

Just a dream.
And keep up the good work, its getting better every release!

@Tuckbodi:
.strm will be added in the next release. Wink

@Prophetizer:
No progress on automatically adding the extra art yet, but it should be ready in the 0.6 release.
And it'll skip the delete prior art dialog when doing a mass search in the next release.

@Macsorzist:
I'm not sure what the differences are between a music movie and a regular movie? if you have or know of an example XML file, let me know and i'll have a look.

@ionblue:
Well, it shouldn't be throwing those exceptions at your nose like that, does it happen with specific movies? or just at random? do you think that it can't locate the files on disk or the metadata on the internet?

Here is the link to the wiki with the discription of the different nfo files. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Import_-_Export_Library#Music_Videos
Its very cool if you could seperate the from the movies, it works very well with the musicvideo section. Especially if you have a huge collection.


- MariusTh86 - 2011-10-14 10:23

Well, if it takes it's information from TMDb, it shouldn't be too difficult to add a section.
I've had some plans to add a music video section, i'm just not so sure about where to get information from for pieces like Youtube clips.

Either way it'll be some time in the future before i start on that. Wink

that will be awesome. thanks so much. i've been running ember via bootcamp, and everyday that seems to get worse. i gave up looking for a mac equivalent a long time ago, and stumbled upon this yesterday and it's fantastic. it runs so fast it's great.

i seem to have a weird issue though, it renames files oddly. for instance, Being Human (US) it renamed to Being Hum, any thoughts? not the end of the world as sickbeard handles this anyways, i just delete the rename scheme so it doesn't rename.

i do have one other idea, if i select to download clear art, or any art manually for that matter and there is only 1 available, i think it should just auto save it


- MariusTh86 - 2011-10-14 14:34

Open the item 'Being Human (US)' in the metadata editor and see if any of the titles is wrong.
It's a weird download bug that only seems to affect titles with a '(US)' in the title. I'll have to look and see what's going wrong there.

Auto saving the 1st is fine if there's no prior art for it, but you can't just overwrite an existing image, currently it just pops up the dialog every time, but maybe I can make it smarter like that.

if there is an existing image i understand, but when i goto get clearart and stuff for shows i don't have an image for, and there is only 1, it would be nice if it just auto saved, like when u do the get metadata option. although, if those were included in the default get metadate, then it would be irrelevant lol.

i'll have to take a look, i think it changed the title and the sort title, but original title was the correct

Hey Marius. I'm pretty certain it was due to not being able to find info on the Internet. I was watching the progress bar closely during import and wherever it got hung up and threw the error, I would relaunch and go to that movie, try to find it and it fails. Then I just modified the name, found it, and moved on.

I finally got through everything though so no worries. But yeah, it shouldn't do that me thinks!

Great work on this man. Will be great to see where it goes.
