Any thoughts on the sets thing?

Um, hate to say it, but MC is working correctly then. Your asking MC to rescrape all data, and not to save any Genre's.

You need to use the Batch Rescrape Wizard, and select which fields you want rescraped. ie: make sure you do not select Genre to be rescraped.

As for custom genre's, MC has no way of knowing if these are custom or scraped from TMDb/IMDb, and won't know which ones to keep, and which to discard.

1. i am a noob at media companion, so sorry for asking: Where i can find this "Batch Rescrape Wizard"? When i right click a movie i have only the options "Scrape All" and "Rescrape Specific". In the Specific Tab i can choose only 1 thing and this gets scraped.

2. would it be possible to add an option for "ignore first genre" for overwriting? Custom Genres i wrote always as the first genre to a movie.

• TV - New option to limit quantity of genre's scraped for TV Series.
  

• TV - Fix MC TVDb getting episodes in DVD sort order, and rescrape correct thumbnail if in DVD sort order.
  
• TV - Fix tvshow selector using XBMC TVDb scraper and getting actors and their images.
  
• Movie - Better catching if sites are not available for Movie Alt artwork selectors.
  
• mc_com - Fix export by date added, correctly invert order.

1. Thank you again for this awesome software! I'll admit the layout of this manager is a little bit daunting at first with all of the tabs, but it has grown on me and I quite like it!!

2. Creating custom "tools" is by far the coolest addition to a media manager and I friggin LOVE IT! Any possibility that you can implement tools via cmd line (i.e. mc_com.exe -tools "toolnamehere")?? This would be awesome!

3. I have the following options enabled: Preferences->General & Common->General Artwork: Frodo & onwards
Preferences->Movies->Scraper->Basic Save Mode

The first option I would assume it disables all .tbn files based off what the tip says (all artwork will be saved as .jpg and not .tbn), but if I enable basic save mode it still saves a movie.tbn file. Should this be working this way? I see in basic save mode that it specifically states it will save a .tbn file, but again with the first option enablled, shouldn't it prevent it from creating that file? I know that if I disable basic save mode, it will not create that file, but then my nfo, poster and fanart (IIRC) will be named <filename>-poster which I don't like. Not that big a deal as I have custom bat files to go through and rename/delete what I don't like(Thank you custom tools!!!)

4. It would be great to disable scanning of certain filetypes/names or sizes. You already have the exclude folders which is perfect for my "Extras" folder. I see that you have an exclude rar files and of a certain size, but assume that if I need anything excluded it would have to be in an rar file. It would be great if we could choose to exclude ANY and ALL files up to a certain size. My problem is that I renamed all of my trailer files to theme.ext. This allows the add on tvtunes to automatically play the trailer after X amount of seconds. This is really great for those who have limited buttons on their remotes or dealing with some less than savvy end users. Obviously Media companion sees these files and tries to scrape em. It would be great to hide based off of size or by name(since all trailers are just named theme).

Overall, I'm very pleased with your program. Like I said earlier, the tabs were a little off setting at first, but it grew on me and I really like it. Well done!

*EDIT* 5. Another great thing would be to integrate trakt or some other site to sync watched status.

So if the movie has a resolution of 1080p the tag is automatically created.

Love the feedback and am glad your enjoying Media Companion.

No.2 - tools from Command-line. Not really seeing any benefit in having mc_com call other batch files. It would be easier to have a batch file call mc_com, and then call your other tool.
Can you give me an example of a tool file your using in Media Companion?

No.3 OK, the Basic Save Mode was pretty much the first method of saving nfo and artwork filenames, and I would have guess is rarely used anymore.
It has never been upgraded to Frodo & Onwards, but I can investigate and update this naming method.

No.4 MediaCompanion scans for known media extensions, no matter what filesize they are.
But, there are some filenames that are automatically excluded from being a Movie.
<moviename>-trailer.extn as one. So -trailer at the end of a movie name is identified as the Trailer for said movie.
It is very possible for me to add -theme.extn to the list and get Media Companion to also identify this as a Trailer.

In regards to ignoring other filetypes or sizes, I feel Media Companion does enough to exclude specific folders.


Lastly, No.5 This would be a feature request that very possibly many users would appreciate.
I will also investigate now to incorporate this into Media Companion. I do have to advise that there may be some time before this does get integrated, as there are currently two dev's for Media Companion.

Quote: Practical scenario of how themes are picked up by TvTunes
Regardless of how they are named and the file structure you have selected to use in TvTunes (Video folder, Themes folder or Custom path), TvTunes will play all audio files, which extensions are supported by TvTunes, as long as they include the string "theme" in their names. There is an additional feature provided only by the "Themes" folder, which allow you to even ignore the string "theme" in the names.
For example, all the following audio files will be played by TvTunes as themes for Maleficient (2014) regardless of the TvTunes' file system chosen:

Maleficent (2014) 1080p BRRip H264 AAC-theme.ext
Theme - Meleficient Suite.ext
The Curse Won't Reverse theme.ext
Arthemesia.ext (this will play too ;-))
Theme.ext, theme1.ext, theme2.ext, theme3.ext, etc.

And if the themes are within the Themes folder, the following will also be played:

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am trying find a way to show the resolution of the movie on the main browser page.

I have the resolution on the file name and folder and I can always look in the <path> but the length is often too long to see it easily.

(2016-06-26, 20:57)artistwantab Wrote: The only other value I used to add was "Foreign"...

Since then I have simply created an "action" in photoshop to add the word Foreign at the bottom of the Poster Art. Then is just a matter of putting the foreign films in another folder.

BTW...I don't use KODI.

In all honesty, your software does everything I could want to keep my library.

Kodi has a nice bells and whistles but I don't worry about that.
