3) can you unzip the file in another folder and check that the libraries are not locked (under file properties check if there is a checkbox saying Unblock content)

1 & 2) I used WinRar to extract it to a newly created folder. Here is the Pastebin of the WinRar log.

3) No abnormalities on the libraries, not locked, hidden ect.

Thanks,
Will try again everything....

Yes. Try to rescan the metadata of these movies.

Unfortunately, that does not help. I scraped the movie again but the error message remains. I also got this message with the ratio <2.4:1> or <16:9>.

Some other issues:
1. The application crashes when rescraping (random) movies (only during 'searching TMDB') when I want to change an incorrect scraped movie. This happens randomly, every thee or four movies.I am using the application (x64) with Windows 8. I do not have this problem when I used automated scraping. This is, I guess, the same issue as reported by Tyrindor on March 13, 2014.
2. When rescraping (movies) the application sometimes jumps back to the first movie. I can continue scraping, however the application will not change / update the name of the movie.
3. A manual search entry was running for several minutes, after cancelling I wanted to try it again ('change movie') however instead of the 'change movie' screen the application opens the screen 'edit movie' (all movies, restart required).

Thanks for all your efforts.

I ran into the "not a valid Win32 application" error, too. I was running it from a folder on my desktop.


RE: BETA Ember 1.4 - 20140317 - x64/x86 - m.savazzi - 2014-03-23

I did just tested the latest zip with WinRAR. It works.

The app is unsigned so under W8 (for example) it is blocked at the first run.

It looks like it get corrupted while unzipping.

May you post your executable to me via PM?

Lol, in release before that was m.savazzi's drive. I have to look where that comes from.

Is not a problem, is just where is saved the source code used to build the app.

Does not impact the application

Ok, nice to know.


RE: BETA Ember 1.4 - 20140317 - x64/x86 - T-bird_se - 2014-03-25

In Orbis log it says that the platform is x86 even if he is running an x64 version, is that a problem?


RE: BETA Ember 1.4 - 20140317 - x64/x86 - AnthonyJS02 - 2014-03-25

Just tried the new Ember 1.4.x and so far so good...ran into a few hiccups/questions:

1) The settings window when open is not sized correctly, the apply ok cancel buttons fall under the task bar. It the 1.3version it works correctly.

2) I cant seem to get fanart.tv to scrape correctly? Is there something im missing? The way i know it is not showing correctly is because I normally go there and manually download the images and then use the local button in the metadata screen. But I do not see certain posters available to download that are on fanart.tv and I can tell because the resolutions are also different. Fanart has resolutions of 1000x1426 or something like that.

3) Can tv show resolutions be upped to the 1000x1500? or according to the specific art? Banner, poster etc....so they are higher resolutions?

4) Movie sets...I have my movie set posters name with extension "folder" is there anyway to change it to folder instead of poster when its saving? Or for when it is picking up images?

5)Trailer Downloads...in versions 1.3 it would show the download status bar...I do not see it when I select the resolution and hit ok, it shows local trailer as soon as I hit ok on trailer window and then when I hit OK to be done with the movie editing it hangs for a few seconds. Is it doing the downloading then? Is that why I get a "not responding"

6)Scraping new tv shows...I added two new tv shows today and used version 1.4 for first time on new show. It appears to hang and throws up a bunch of errors and does not scrape the episodes correctly. Appears to save all the images just not episode names. So I restart ember and re scrape and it works. I will get a error log for next time.

Im sure I will have more and im not sure if some of these requests or problems have been addressed just my two cents so far.

Thanks great work so far!

Hello,

just tried the 1.4 version as I hoped this might help to solve a problem I've had for quite some time. Ember refuses to recognize my local posters. This problem has been around for quite some time for me, the last version that worked correctly was 1.3 rev. 7. Ever since then, local posters are just being ignored. They are in the same folder as the movies with the extension .tbn

Any ideas what is going wrong here? I just cannot use Ember until I solved this, as my collection has got roughly 3000 movies and it's just impossible to manually add posters again.

Thanks,

You could use an application like Bulk rename utility to mass rename your poster.tbn to poster.jpg. Look for a thread in this subforum where a user had the same problem and DanCooper posted the BRU masks for mass rename.

You can also use the Eden default settings or expert settings to recognize .tbn files (don't forget the reload the database in main menu -> Tools -> Reload Database).
But renaming with BulkRenameUtility is the better way for future XBMC use.

Btw, Ember only recognize files there are matching the setted filename settings.

Thanks for your replies. Using Eden settings worked! What do I have to put in expert settings if I only want to change the behaviour for reading posters? Renaming the files is not an option as there are several x-boxes with xbmc in my network which access the same folders on the server and can't handle the jpgs.
