Agree!

er, ok, (see, I don't know what I'm talking about, some of the time)

Crash saving fanart

Code:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'E:\Temp2\Media Companion 3.5.3.0 ALPHA\Resolutions.xml'.
File name: 'E:\Temp2\Media Companion 3.5.3.0 ALPHA\Resolutions.xml'

   at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize)

Also noticed "Both" option not present on General Preferences (I know, just testing Frodo-onwards for now).

Added a new TV Show, no artwork scraped at all.

But season artwork and episode artwork are being saved for both formats, tbn and -poster.jpg. Nice, but that should be set under "Both" option.

It's a bloody good start. Thanks and Keep it up. Get some zzzzz's.

One show. "Arrow)", and Save Changes.
Crash Oops

It scraped season01-poster.jpg and actors, didn't create nfo. Can't test any further.

(2013-01-22, 02:51)vbat99 Wrote: Arrow, but tried with Castle (2009) also.

Now note, these are empty folder, no nfo existing, no artwork, so:
\TVShows\Arrow
\TVShows\Arrow\Season01
\TVShows\Arrow\Season01\S01E01.avi
\TVShows\Arrow\Season01\S01E02.avi

And that's all there is. Going to try extract MC into new folder to test, with Resolutions.xml in Root of MC.

Not just moved, but location and creation changed in the code.

check the video above if you haven't do exactly the same as me tell if it works like that, thanks.

Nope, in root of MC it seems.

Video played too small for me to see. couldn't enlarge.

But, tried bare basic, extract mc Alpha to new folder. Deleted settings folder, copied Resolutions.xml into root of new MC folder.
Started, Gen Preferences, Select Frodo Onwards.
TV Folders, Select TV Show Root, Add from Root
Only "Arrow" folder listed. Save Changes.

I'll try and save the video you posted and look at it larger. Otherwise, what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: or are you saying it should be moved as in its currently is in root and is supposed to be in root but the code should be changed so its in settings?

Final release for the night : http://puu.sh/1QRRZ - fixed settings, fixed resolutions.xml

Just downloaded this last release, and it worked first time. So something different. Will keep testing.

Have a good night ( or morning). LOL

It was the Resolutions.xml file I created. Damn it! I knew it was something I did. All good now. Tested Pre-Frodo and Frodo-onwards. All is looking good.

Episode-thumb.jpg isn't there, but apart from that, fantastic.

Now, regarding updating of the OP. If alright, I like to wait till the GUI is updated on Codeplex site, and point to a release there, but in the interest of all your hard work, I will put the alpha link there with warnings temporarily.

Cheers

Oh and Op images are from XP with all the bells and whistles turned off.
