Thank you. But... When will it be? I can't go on scraping with this bug Wink Or is it maybe just one file you changed and you could upload it? *g

But I'm not sure if that works with your version: Link

naaah sadly it doesn't work. I replaced that dll, but the IMDB scraper is not on the list of data scrapers in Ember anymore.

I hope there will be a new release because this one currently is broken as the date is not being scraped.

No extention needed, type only "movie-trailer" without any extension.

Is there a way to filter movies for the Bulk Renamer? I don't want to rename all 2000 at once, but in groups.

Ok, so I am trying out beta 1.4.0.0

If I open up the edit movie window and go to look at any of the png art (logo, disc, clearart) they don't show up when I select the appropriate tab.
But if I click the discart tab for example and click 'change clearart local' and then select my file it will show the art..... HOWEVER
when I click ok after this and it closes the edit movie window it deletes all my other png files...
Is this a known issue... is this feature not yet ready?

also when will fanart.tv scraper be available. I went to their website and got an API key but it would not work for me.

Not sure if your on latest release. But you don't need your own API key. It is all built in and fanart.tv for movies works fine. Make sure you reload database for ember to recognize. No need to individually download local art for movies that have proper naming.


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - gregoryx - 2014-06-01

Another question / request feature: automatic detection of movie names is similar to the old versions, but a far cry from how accurate XBMC's is at this point. Things like NAME_OF_MOVIE seem to cause trouble. And MOVIE_NAME_YEAR (where YEAR is something like 1990) don't seem to have much effect on the detection of movies.

Hopefully, I'm doing something wrong (aside from having named my movies in a way that EMM doesn't like); or is this something that can be improved?


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - gregoryx - 2014-06-01

And another question / request: it would be great to be able to "change movie" without needing to do the scrapes. Fixing the right title will take care of the other stuff with auto-search without taking as much time.

We have embedded API keys for all scrapers, no private keys needed. You need only a private API key for TVDB if you want/need the EpsiodeGuideURL in NFO.
Fanart.tv scraper works fine on movies.
Reload your database (Tools -> Relead all Movies) to recognize this images.

Ember will delete existing images while Edit Movie dialog ist closing and no image is selected for an individual image type.

Only year in brakets are recognized.
XBMC has many rules for movie and episode filenames. I will try to add/change all rules in Ember in next time.

"Change Movie" is only to CHANGE a wrong scraped movie. It will delete all existing images, trailers, themes and other scraped content to clean up the movie.
If you only want fix the title, you have many options to do that:
- Rescrape a movie and click on "Cancel" in every image dialog to hold the existing images
- Use a autoscraper with "NFO Only"
- Use the custom scraper and select only the fields in NFO that you want change/rescrape

Please upload a screenshot of your movie folder and your expert settings.

I release only a new version if we have finished the new features and fixed most important errors.
Next release will have a new DB that allowed us to change DB structure with every new release (like in XBMC).

Thanks... the fanart.tv issue was my own stupidity. Got it working. Thank you.


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - huttdes - 2014-06-01

Actually I can get fanart.tv working.... but when I enable it I get the 'object reference not set to an instance of an object error... it will work but when I shut down EMM and reboot then fanart.tv is no longer enabled and I have to do it all over. Is this a known issue?

Is there a way to change this... don't really understand why that would work that way....Huh

Read the hints in release thread (Feetching Languages)...

No. Relead all movies and your problem is solved.
