Audio? Video?

Do you have checked what MediaInfo says?
We have fixed some issues in metadata, but sometimes MediaInfo can't read all informations from files.

video

OK does appear its because MediaInfo is unable to show it either...

So instead of displaying a 0 bitrate which is useless how about instead take the "Overall bit rate" minus the audio bitrate and that gives you the video bitrate. Smile You would think MediaInfo would do that too.

Of course, that assumes audio bitrate is not 0 and there is an "Overall bit rate", but like in this example there is. So better than having useless 0 bitrate or nothing.

Then in the other cases if there is no "Overall bit rate" or no audio bitrate then there is no way to calculate it so just don't add it to nfo.

RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - thrashmagazine - 2014-11-05

I am going to ask and deeply apologize for this probably being posted in 1000 places already, I just couldn't find what I needed when searching the thread.

MovieSets... how the heck do I get it to save data?

My structure is this:

Movies\MovieName (year)\MovieName (year).file

So for a set and an example:

Movies\28 Days Later... (xxxx)\28 Days Later (xxxx).mkv
Movies\28 Weeks Later (xxxx)\28 Weeks Later (xxxx).mkv

MovieSets section picks up the two movies and groups them together properly, when i try to get details (artwork, nfo etc) it finds everything but never saves anything... I assume I am missing a setting or something somewhere?

Sorry again for sucking at search as this information is probably everywhere Big Grin

Atm you can only set one folder for all MovieSet artworks (Settings -> MovieSet -> Files and Sources -> MovieSet Artwork Folder).
This is how the MSAA addon for XBMC works.

thanks, all set now Smile


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - Thales - 2014-11-06

Just wanted to thank Dan, Savazzi, and Cocotus for the great work on the latest version. I gave it a try over the weekend, well the 2nd to latest version, and it finally fixed all the "object reference" errors I was getting on the older versions. I would get them pretty much every time I tried making any kind of changes to the existing movie data. Now they are all gone. I was able to go back and modify a good number of movies and no errors at all now.

I also really like the new options to extract a movie frame straight to fanart and extrafanart. (Maybe they are not that new? I haven't looked at the movie extraction tab in a long time since it wasn't all that useful to me at the time. I remember having to extract a frame to a local folder, then having to exit the movie info screen, open it back up, and then browse to that local folder to set the art. Was just too much trouble for so many movies.) A majority of my movie collection are old movies from the 40's to 60's and most of them have no fan art at all or maybe just 1 really bad option of a cropped movie poster. The new extraction options make it so quick and easy to skim through a movie and pick some nice fan and extra fan art. So now I can finally fill all those empty fan art spots with something nice.

I've been meaning to donate again and this version was the little kick I needed to do it. It is just about perfect for me.

Only little request would be to add a movie set menu to the main movie info window. It sure would be nice to be able to assign a movie to a set right away during the scraping process.


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - Fexel - 2014-11-06

I use the actual beta. I tried to fix the problem with the sets but it didnt work. I also detected, that i cant specify a folder in the sets option. I tried the hint, to reload my movies - no success. Any ideas?

And what's the problem?


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - User 102910 - 2014-11-07

Hello,

1. I can confirm that "0 bitrate" bug. I think it mostly happens on all my Bluray Remux 1:1 Rips ("AVC REMUX")

2. I cannot edit movie properties! E.g. if I double click on a tv-series episode a small windows pops up where I can edit everything. But when I double click on a movie title nothing happens. Right-click and "Edit movie" also doesn't do anything.

Any ideas / suggestions?

I did a clean install of 1.4.0.6.

1. Cocotus take a look at this

2. This is the "Users don't read red, bold and big hints in download thread"-bug

RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - Cocotus - 2014-11-07

As Dan said, I will take a look on the Bitrate 0 issue tomorrow! I also started working on the trakt.tv personal list to "tag" addon (yes tag-support in Ember is now being worked on, working on a list/tag manager right now Cool )

Hi,

i have one folder for my tv shows, but everytime I actualize my database emm is crashing. (1.4.0.6)
I made the same settings like in 1.3.0.20, there everything works fine.

Any Idea where the Problem could be?
