This make my suspect that some setting in the Movie Preference i made is causing this. I called a friend who also use Media Companion with a similar settings like i have and he confirmed that he also gets scraper error for Votes. If i have the Preferred Language set to Swedish i will get scraper error and if i set it to English - US i get the correct Votes.

Found the issue and fixed, will be in the next release.

Please could you tell me how to update the installation of MC over the previous version? As the installation.exe always creates a new folder with the latest version number in the directory name. I would like to be able to update and maintain my settings and previous cache contents of my movie directories. Is this possible.... Could you include a settings backup export and import feature that would allow clean installation and then import old settings and scraped history to save having to re-scrape all the folders?

I have 700+ movies. All movies are in their individual folders with IMDB names and (year). I have Media Companion set to scrape using folder name, with XBMC scrapers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This app is AWESOME, BTW!!

(2013-11-18, 09:10)maddog808 Wrote: OK. So I switched the scraper to the MC built in scraper because the XBMC scraper kept crashing MC. It finished scraping, but almost half of my movies were incorrectly scraped as "Vertigo (1958)". It is real random, too. I can't figure out why these specific movies scraped wrong. If I click "change movie", I'm able to manually fix each movie. This will take quite a while, though, as there are over 300 with this same problem.

Is there any way to automatically fix this, now that the .nfo file and all the fanart, etc is for "Vertigo" for all these movies?

Here is a quick screenshot of what I'm talking about:

Yeah, I guess there is always that chance.

Hey Matt, I may have a chance to look at this for you. I need to reinstall my dev setup, but in the meantime, if you could PM me a directory listing of your movie collection, I'll look into it at my first opportunity. (If you're unsure how to do that, let me know.)
Cheers, Huey

Hi Huey,

Thanks for offering. PM sent. You'll notice by looking at the actor lists that Media Companion now thinks that most of my movies are either "American Beauty", or "Vertigo". I tried deleting all of the .nfo, .jpg, .tbn, etc, and starting over. i get the same results, but the movie will vary. (The movie that Media Companion decides to think that a bunch of my movies are). It's almost like it gets stuck or something, and just keeps grabbing info for the same movie over and over. What doesn't make sense is that "Vertigo" isn't even in my collection to begin with.

This is the first time I've tried putting all this data with the movie folders on my Unraid server. I have always just pointed XBMC at my Unraid movie share, and XBMC would scrape for everything and store the data locally on each client. I thought it would be easier to have the metadata on the Unraid share, but now I'm re-thinking that theory.

Keep in mind, before I started scraping with Media Companion, my movie directory structure was just a "movies" folder, then a folder for each movie that would be named the IMDB movie title, with (year) after it. Inside each movie folder was either a single .mkv, .avi, or the occasional .iso, or VIDEO_TS subfolder.

All of the subfolders and files you see in my directory list now were created by Media Companion.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm not the type of person to give up on software. I'll keep trying till I figure out what is causing this.

Thanks again!!
Matt

So from your second message below, the crash was occurring when you were using XBMC TMDB scraper?

Yes, Media Companion would crash when trying to scrape using XBMC TMDB scraper. This is correct.

Then I deleted all the .nfo, .jpg, .tbn, etc files and extrafanart and extrathumbs folders. Then I started over, using the Media Companion built in scraper. That's when Media Companion decided i had 300+ copies of the movie "Vertigo" (which I don't have at all in my colleciton).

Then I started over again, and Media Companion decided i have 200+ copies of "American Beauty".

Can only suggest to delete the faulty nfo's and Search New again. I thought I'd caught the issue of IMDB giving us a default movie, but maybe they've changed their site again. Will have a look.

I'll try that again, and report back with my results. Thank you.

Also, how many movies were you scraping when this occurred?

I was scraping 758 movies.

Except this time, the 2 dominant movies are "Citizen Kane" and "Django Unchained". Out of about 750 movies, MC labeled about 400 as Citizen Kane, and 250 were labeled Django unchained. The rest seem to either be correct, or unidentified. It seems that every time I start over, the results get worse.
