RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - chrissix666 - 2019-03-03 (2019-03-03, 19:50)bobrap Wrote: @chrissix I'm a little confused here. If my movies and artwork are all in the same directory, how is the hard drive not accessed if art is cached? Gotta access the hard drive to watch the movie. I thought the purpose of the cache is to cut down on internet access, helping those that have a metered internet account and the hosting servers.? For me, I use Kodi to watch TV, movies and listen to music. I'm just not that into looking at all my artwork. What I have described concerns purely extrafanart. Simple example: Unplug your media hard drives, start Kodi: If you use extrafanart the first (common) way i described you will not see any extrafanart any more or in best case 1 left - even if it's prechached in Thumbnails folder. -> Point 5.1 https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_artwork#Local_movie_artwork If you use extrafanart the second way i described you will see all - if its prechached in Thumbnails folder -> Point 5.2 https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_artwork#Local_movie_artwork If you do everything locally, that does not make that much difference, although the performance is faster and the disks are spared. But if you have your media on NAS/SERVER system this difference is very important. Unfortunately, my english skills are somewhat limited and therefore did not completely understand your question. But there are many skins where the main focus is on artwork, as well there are basic skins. Everything pure matter of taste. I have some nieces and nephews who visit me often. They can not read yet and look for the movie they want to watch based on the artwork they see. They like that when Kodi looks very playful. And me too. Countless people fill the artwork databases of fanart.tv and tmdb every day, content is there, api support is there, so there is not much talk against developing some skins in this direction.

Checked with a clean MC as well, can scrape IMDB, TMDB and Metacritic. Media Companion 3.728b x64 I've tested it out, scraping process and .nfo data is good. There is only a small optical bug with the new option: Quote:MC - Add Option to not save legacy tags <rating>, <votes> & <metascore> in nfo. Default is Enabled.The visible rating/votes on the movie main view is still linked with the the legacy rating <rating></rating> and not to <rating name -> default="true"> No scraping problem, just is visible problem, only the link was not changed yet. Think the same with metascore (when clicking on Top 250) on movie main view... EDIT: But couldn't test this also out cause i pushed the legacy tags button very often on/off for testing and now i also get errors on every scrape: Quote:System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. ---> System.Exception: TMDb is unavailable!Then went back to Media Companion 3.727b x64 and everything worked great again RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - huttdes - 2019-03-04 I have movies in a couple folders. 80% in one folder that wont have anymore added. So I want this folder to appear in my library but not scanned when I search for new movies. Can this be done?

I'd be interested if someone can check and see whether this is a movie nfo glitch, a MC moviecache.xml glitch. I can't reproduce it.

Is there anyway to have the outline remain unchanged if it doesn't find RT consensus. Maybe a tick box option. I have all my outlines in my nfos already. I have shortened them down as the IMDb outline can be quite long so would prefer not having it changed.

What about Batch Rescrape, and put a tick in the box that says Scrape Only Empty tags, and unselect all that you do not want to rescrape. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - MonSoon12 - 2019-03-05 Okay, thanks for taking the time to look into the issue.

And, Please, if you experience any crashes, create a Ticket on Media Companion's SourceForge site Feedback would be appreciated. Download Link for MC 3.729b x86 & x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - huttdes - 2019-03-05 Just a suggestion.... with all the real estate above and below the poster and fanart on the main page. Any though of pushing these to the top or bottom and creating another pane that would also display all the fanart.tv artwork at the same time?
