RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-06 (2016-04-06, 18:48)bobrap Wrote: Hate to butt in, but, I think maybe Ronnie was asking about renaming TV series with the articles at the end. If not the case, tell me to go away. Don't mind at all. I know the Common setting (visual in MC only) work for TV and Movies. But MC isn't set to rename TV Series folders, and the episode renaming doesn't incorporate moving articles. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - RonnieG3 - 2016-04-07 @bobrap had the right of it. Was wondering about the auto renaming of TV Series folders. Didn't even think that could pose an issue in the whole episode scraping. Not a big deal, curiosity got the better of me. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-07 (2016-04-07, 00:38)RonnieG3 Wrote: @bobrap had the right of it. Was wondering about the auto renaming of TV Series folders. Didn't even think that could pose an issue in the whole episode scraping. Not a big deal, curiosity got the better of me. Thing to remember is once the Series has been scraped, the correct TVDb ID is allocated to the tvshow.nfo within the Series folder. So you can name or rename the series folder manually. If you do change it, MC won't find the folder again, so will ask if you want to remove it from MC's list of separate folder. A simple click of Check Roots for new Series will bring back the Series in MC, and MC won't rescrape it as it contains a tvshow.nfo already. It was asked to rename the TV Series folder, and possible Season Folders, but I am a bit reluctant. I definitely would not allow for Automatic renaming. So it is something that may come into Media Companion later down the track. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - peregrine - 2016-04-09 Little problem here. For some reason MC renames the TV show episodes, but with altered capitalizations; for example, "House of Cards (US)" would become "House Of Cards (Us)". Does regex have anything to do with this? If so, how can I fix it? Anyways, great media manager. Blows E*ber easily. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-09 Regex doesn't affect the renaming, that is only for how to get season and episode numbers. Will take a look, as I recall I fixed this for movies some time back. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-09 Actually, which is preferred, Of or of? RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - peregrine - 2016-04-10 Initially I thought so too. Changing the regexes does not yield anything. "of" and "(US)" are preferred. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - tars - 2016-04-10 Does MC support moving files across drives? Say I want to move highest-rated 250 movies that are scattered across C, D, and E drive to F drive. How can I achieve this? - No sub-folder for each movie - Many movies have external subtitle files - Use a central Actor thumb folder and a central Movie Set Artwork folder RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-10 (2016-04-10, 21:12)tars Wrote: Does MC support moving files across drives? No, MC does not support moving movies between root folders, or different drives. For one, I, and I mean MediaCompanion in this, do not want to be responsible for loss of data, which can occur. Two, how is MC to know which root folder or drive the movie belongs to. Three, It's not MC's responsibility to organise or re-arrange files. Media Companion is a Scraper for XBMC/Kodi first and foremost, with some folder and file renaming functions. Moving of Movies across Root Movie Folders will not be incorporated into Media Companion. Not sure what you are asking in regards to No sub-folders for each movie I use to be of mind that keeping all movies in the Root movie folder, not in their own sub-folder, was a good thing. But, I found two issues. 1. So many movies in one folder, really slowed down Media Companion during scraping for new movies, as well as general operation. Once each movie had it's own sub-folder, MC runs blazing quick. 2. Scrolling down through five or six hundred movies in Explorer was a real pain in the a$$ ?? Many movies have external subtitle files. Use a central Actor thumb folder and a central Movie Set Artwork folder Already possible. Just set up the actors in Preferences -> General & Common -> Actors tab. Central MovieSet artwork folder, Preferences -> Movie Preferences -> Artwork tab. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - tars - 2016-04-10 Thanks for clarifying it! (The last three lines were merely descriptions of how my movie files are currently organized) I understand the risk, but still hoping it could be considered as a future feature as movie organizer. Print a list, check each filename and move one by one doesn't look something tempting to do.

I may have had a break-through on this. Just for reference, this issue has been around for quite some time. I have it now that MC shows the correct filename in the Change Movie tab. See Image. Now that I have corrected this, I am going to look at how we get the info from IMDB. If I am right, the same fix for Change Movie, may also correct scraping of movies from IMDB. Another FYI, I scraped the movie correctly from TheMovieDb every attempt, even when I changed the selected language to "es" or as "en". I also noticed that IMDB had major issues with the full filename as you presented. El último hombre... vivo (1971) Charlton Heston, Anthony Zerbe, Rosalind Cash, Paul Koslo, Lincoln Kilpatrick.dual.subs.mkv But when shortened to El último hombre... vivo (1971).mkv it was successful. So for the next release, I hope to have better success with scraping with accented characters. Apologies for the glitch that caused your Kodi library issue.

"of" and "(US)" are preferred. Best I can do was correct the case change from (US) to (Us). It will stay as (US). Seems an issue with .Net code to exclude words like of, and, or etc from being title-cased. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - peregrine - 2016-04-12 You mean, from (Us) to (US)? Alright, I guess I'll have to find another way to rename the files heheh.

NP, I don't think MC has to be foolproof. Mostly because I sometimes can also make mistakes when renaming files, and MC will use the filename for scrapping. On the other hand, Kodi should detect when nfo files change, and re-parse them (IMHO). RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2016-04-15 New Release. Media Companion 3.649b It's been a while, but finally I have resolved issues users have been advising us of. One new feature worth mentioning is the Movie and TV artwork tabs. Fanart, Posters and Fanart.TV These have been altered to put downloading and displaying of preview images into background threads. What this means is, no more waiting for all artwork to download. No further freezing of Media Companion during loading of these tabs and their images. To Note:
So, here are the changes so far.. New:
Fixed:
And, Please, if you experience any crashes, post up an Issue on Media Companion's site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.649b x86 & MC 3.649b x64 Revision History |
