RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - Zxurian - 2013-01-04
is it possible to have this updated to support the frodo update and be able to download both a poster and a banner for each title?

This is being worked on but is a very large undertaking. As well as the Xmas holidays. Please be patient.
Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - Flinty72 - 2013-01-04
Guys can you confirm which is the most recent "stable" version of MC?
I think I'm still using 3.5.0.8.
Also are there instructions on how to correctly upgrade to newer versions of MC?
Tks in advance.

There was a fix for changes to imdb scraper at about 3.511b. Best to get latest beta.
For upgrade, I always recommend fresh folder for newest release. This way you keep your last database version
incase of any new introduced bugs.

Thanks for all the great work. I was wondering if you were planning on fixing the XML Scraper engine to update it to the current XBMC Format? If you are able to do that, you will be hailed as the king of supplemental tools because people will be able to use ANY XML scraper available to XBMC like Universal Scraper and others...
Keep up the good work!

I did not yet plunged into the code of scrappers as I am new to it.
For the moment I'm working on the interface to make the program easier and more enjoyable to use.
After that I will focus on scrappers :-)

Please advise what changes (with links to wiki ) are required?? currently only fanart has changed with Frodo, or are we missing something else?

Couple of things. "Refresh All Movies" from Movies drop list, no longer adds new movies added to movie folder, to the list of movies. Well, just tested and you need to change to a different tab then back to Movie List tab. THEN the new movies are shown. After Refresh All Movies, the Movie list window needs to be refreshed as well.
Similar thing to clicking the "Watched button", the movie list needs to be refreshed as only swapping tabs brings this to the correct indicator. Also, Can you make it if click the circle in the "Watched" column, that this is the same as clicking the Watched button down bottom of Movie details? Much easier to just click the circle to mark as watched.
Floating windows when mouse hovering over a movie title, is very distracting, as well as it floats all over the place when the mouse moves. Can you make an option to enable or disable this feature under Movie Preferences. Personally I wouldn't use the floating window as its a distraction. But my two cents only.
Other than that, Movies are looking very good. Keep up the great work.
When resting the mouse over the "W" or "P" the description appears behind the mouse pointer. Can this description for Watch Status or Plot, be above the mouse pointer.

Any chance of getting an option to disable the mouse over on the movie list? My screen goes crazy with this option.
Could you explain scraping on multiselect. If I select more than one movie, re-scraping only scrapes one movie, not the whole selection. Thanks.
Any thoughts?

Tks vbat99.
I was hoping multiple instances of MC could be installed although the newer version would be working with the same media files so could eventually overwrite MC downloaded content rendering the previous library obsolete.
Along with having to set the preferences again for the new version of MC but its only a minor issue really.

RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released - Flinty72 - 2013-01-06
Is there a way to re-scrape all Movies for MC v3.5.1.1 after changing the Movie Preferences & Scraper settings?
Or is the only way to do it being the exhaustive 1 movie at a time?

Gidday Vbat,
It is true that the tooltip is boring as it works now, I will look at this problem ..
I also look for the rest, at the same time I also try to clean up the code and restructure a bit because it is very difficult to navigate in the current state.

With the latest version you do know, you select the movies you want, ctrl + click or shift + click then right click and you access the menu
