Ember recognizes the new episodes and immediately fetches plot, title and episode picture for this known show. Basically you are done and could start XBMC to add your new media there. Works great. Only manual interaction with Ember: adding new season poster/fanart if you start a new season.

This works completely independent of what episodes in which order you add.

This sounds great

So when you have added episodes to existing TV shows then you start ember and open the TV Shows tab and then hit the Update Library button? Nothing more? The title and plot is automaticly fetched for the new episodes?

Is there a way to know if it fails? Maby Ember says that its episode 20 instead of 15?

I seem to be having an issue with the current version - if I scrape my movies to get all information, everything is downloaded fine, except for extrathumbs. Ember hogs the CPU for quite a while doing nothing, then flags up that is had downloaded the extrathumbs, the folder exists there, but no images in the folder?

try an older version of bin/ffmpeg.exe
this one works for me: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7PXGOAS0

Brilliant - worked perfectly

Love the program. I have a few ideas for some enhancements:
- allow refreshing of the XBMC thumbnails for TV and movies. Would make making changes to existing scraped media a breeze. Would be awesome for those of us who use centralized thumbnail folders.
- allow downloading of TV logos, clearart, banners and posters from http://fanart.tv/ to support some of the newer XBMC skins.
- a really cool option would be bulk replacing of TV "folder.jpg" from the banner.jpg files to the poster.jpg files (and vice versa).

One other thought:
Ember keeps scraping "AppleDouble" from my unRAID server which uses both AFP and SMB for network protocols. Would be nice to allow for ignoring hidden files & folders.

small issue when scraping tv episodes. if there are guest stars present in the episode on tvdb, then they will get added into the credits tag in the nfo. the "credits" should actually be called writer(s) in the gui.

example, i scrape this episode: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid=80348&seasonid=468440&id=4200370&lid=7

and then ember saves this to the credits, "Bo Derek (Guest Star) / Angus Macfadyen (Guest Star) / Ian Wolterstorff (Guest Star) / Mekenna Melvin (Guest Star) / Kristin Newman (Writer)".

where credits should just be the writer, as the guest stars and writer have separate fields on tvdb. maybe another tag for guest stars can be added to the nfo instead?

Would Ember be able to interface with XBMC video database like xwmm? Maybe Ember's xbmc controller (which does connect for me) can be updated when this does https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/608.

the 'Problem':
I update movie fanart, poster, and imdb ratings in ember and the changes don't propogate to xbmc unless I manually refresh the movie or remove/add the source. It's not really a problem I suppose, just an area where Ember might be able to stand out.

I really hope Eden makes it easier to either reload the files easily or makes handling the database easier.

I doubt. At least I cannot find any changes in Beta 1 No

Hi,

Is there any way to mark movies/episodes that I have seen in Ember? I have notice the right menu > Mark but it does not seems to do anything with the nfo file that XBMC reads?

I know that the watched propertie was removed but I was under the impression that it was added to XBMC again?

When I start and stop a episode on XBMC it will be marked.

It would be great If I could set this in Ember so even if I change the shares I will still see which movies/episodes I have seen.

I just installed the new version of Ember and something doesn't seem right. It is really slow scraping movies (downloading the artwork) and it often doesn't get any or only one or two fanart pictures. I have all three Native scrapers selected to get images. IMPAwards and MoviePosterDB seem very fast but TheMovieDB seems to be the slow one. I can't figure out why there are so few fanart options. For example, The Phantom Menace only had two fanart pics and HP and Goblet of Fire only had one. The Godfather II didn't have any.
