RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Shemhazai - 2013-03-20
When I clean install Ember (1.3.10 fix1) and after following the wizard the program runs a first time but stalls on 'performing preliminary tasks'.
Following (single) error is logged:

Check if the YouTube movie / link even still exists.
Usually the problem is the fact that the movie has been removed.
RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Randall Lind - 2013-03-20
The issue was I didn't have it enable to download when scrapping works now.

I commited some changes in Ember to support this:
dtshd_hra, dtshd_ma were scanned and named correctly, but there were'nt flag icons in Ember before. So I added dtshd_hra.png , dtshd_ma.png to Ember so that for this type of movies, flag icon will be shown. Also added another audio codec mapping: from "a_truehd" to "truehd". I suggest to wait until next version of Ember to check this out and see if everything works.
Awesome job Cocotus! I'm looking forward to checking it out!
I am on the 1.3.10 and cannot get dts-hd icon to show nor the channel icon when it is dts-hd. I maaped to dtsma and the pngs are there. Any ideas?
Hmm strange can you do me a favor and scan the videofile with mediainfo http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/de and then under "File" --> Export --> txt save the log and post here? This would help

when i select a poster from tmdb it displays original medium cover small and i can select only medium and cover,
Fanart also is not saved...
Any one else experiencing this one?
Go to
Settings > Movies > Scraper - Images & Trailers, then uncheck "Use Image Cache" then your be able to select any image size.
OMG it was that simple...
and i thought that by checking the "Use Image Cache" was going to be helpful...

Hey all, ran into a weird issue, wondering if anyone can help to sort it out.
I fired up EMM the other day and for some reason my media share drives weren't mapped. As a result, when I updated the library EMM showed all blank files.
No big deal, I just re-built the library and everything showed back up..... but....
The problem is that I switched the config on EMM a month or so ago to "frodo" and now that it's re-built the db it doesn't think any of my older movies (over 350 of them) have "posters". I tried to go back into the EMM config and set it for <movie>.jpg to be a poster also but for some reason EMM does not show that any of those movies have posters even after I cleaned the DB.
Any ideas?

I'm using 1.3.09 and the same thing happens every time I start up EMM: it fails to acknowledge existing posters.
All I have to do is refresh the media and it detects the existing posters correctly, so there's just some disconnect when it starts up.

Well, sounds like it might be a somewhat different problem. I am running the latest build. The movies I've scraped/added recently are fine... they show the posters as they are in the "new" frodo format.
How exactly are you "refreshing" just the media for your files?

Sorry, I guess the proper term in EMM is "reload." You can do this to single item via Right Click > Reload, or select all the movies and hit F5.
This forces EMM to magically rediscover the posters it didn't recognize when it started up minutes earlier.

You mistake was deselecting the old image types, EMM won't display artwork that's not enabled, if you enable them and use Reload as suggested above it should work, the drawback is EMM will then create old and new image types for any new stuff added.
Why not just convert your old image types there's plenty of apps to do this easily, I personally use "Flexible Renamer" as its free.
If reload doesn't work then your just have to rebuild your db with those images enabled which really doesn't take long as it only has to load them.

RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - Swifty - 2013-03-22
Is there any way to get ember to use the folder name instead of filename when creating images?
Eg, I'm using "frodo" image naming settings and have the following layout;
Z:\films\movie xyz\movie xyz-cd1.mkv
I have "use folder names" set on the ember source, and when I scan the film ember creates:
Movie xyz-cd1-fanart.jpg
Movie xyz-cd1-poster.jpg
Now if I reopen ember and click "movie xyz" it doesn't display the images.. (I guess because its looking for it without the "-cd1")
Am I missing something?

Ah, you jogged my brain and helped me figure out what the problem was. I had re-selected "movie.jpg" and reloaded with no success, when what I needed to do was select "<movie>.jpg" and then reload. Problem solved.
I think it will be more challenging than a simple rename to take a bunch of <movie>.jpg files and re-name them to <movie>-poster.jpg.
