In b5, which i'll release in a bit, it should use file names.nfo instead, which i believe was also acceptable, let me know if it works.

Yeah according to the wiki it should be (Probably without folder name lookup).

I'll try to rename all nfo files to movie.nfo just for now to see if that works better, then I'll redo everything next beta. (Small movie archive) Smile

New beta (5) released Wink

Added an option to disable reading NFO files when adding folders to the sidebar. this should speed up adding items to the sidebar list, and maybe prevent a few crashes on slower network drives.

You can find this option in General Preferences as 'Show status in list'

MariusTh86 Wrote:And auto search and add metadata? might turn up with some wrong results though, but interesting idea. I'll write it up.

Yes. Wrong results you would still need to edit manually, but if you have more or less correct folder names, most of the work would be done by ViMM.

I would consider this to be default behavior, maybe there's no need to make it an option.

First add all folders and afterwards begin processing of folder contents - jpgs and parsing nfos afterwards.

Of course, I'm not a programmer.

Actually, that's pretty interesting thinking that might save some excessive disk accessing, I'll try it out.

Guess you already know this but thought I would share that the download for b5 doesn't work, either from the application or the link in the first post.

Btw, [a little OT] pecinko, do you have any tool for managing music on mac to recommend?


- MariusTh86 - 2011-09-14 14:00

Odd, I don't have any problems using the download link in the first post, try downloading them from here:
https://github.com/vidalvanbergen/ViMediaManager/downloads

As for music managers on Mac, I myself prefer iTunes. Wink

The file is <1Kb, which is the reason I cant open it either.

Lol forgot about that obvious one Smile

Oops yeah.... that wouldn't work... ^^;
I've uploaded a new one, please try again. Wink

Downloaded b6.

Still some issues here Smile

1) When I do a manual lookup I notice it leaves "()" when it sanitizes the directories. Sample:

"(500) Days of Summer (2009) (720p)" manual lookup -> "(500) Days Of Summer (2009) ()". When I search there it doesn't find anything. When I remove the brackets like so: "(500) Days Of Summer (2009)" it finds the movie. So could you please strip "()" in the end when sanitizing? Thx!!

2) Not all my 'video-format tags' for lack of a better word are recognized. So they are left when sanitizing which causes the movie not getting automatically recognized:
DVD-Rip (leaves only the -Rip)
BR-Rip
BD-Rip
