RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - MikeDB - 2014-07-23

It seems that I can only use Ember to create .nfo files.

It does a great job of finding artwork, fanart, clearart, disc art etc.....but none of it is recognized by XBMC.

I'm using Frodo and have tried telling artwork downloader to use local art but unless I use XBMC scraper, those images saved by Ember are pointless. Even at that......xbmc downloader just redlownloads and replaces what I have.....making all the work I have done, using ember, pointless/in vain.

I have been at this all day and haven't had any luck. Also, I had Ember generate thumbnails for actors but xbmc won't pick them up at all. It seems, unless xbmc scans and saves them to my local hard drive, it won't show actor thumb nails. While this may not seem like a big deal, I have a small SSD that is running out of space.

I have my movies on other drives,with all the artwork saved their, but xbmc will not pick it up, regardless of the settings I apply. Any idea what could be happening here? It seems xbmc is ignoring all of the work I've done in ember, even though I selected "frodo" settings under the options in ember.

Hello.

Running Ember v1.4.0.0 x86 (2014-05-09), I'd like to see it perform something along the lines of:
1. Get the highest number of channels Audio track(s).
--> Ember finds 2 x 5.1 audio tracks.
One is DTS-MA and one is DD.

2. Get the highest bit rate Audio track.
--> Ember grabs the DTS-MA Audio track.

3. Ember does not automatically assume that a DTS-MA Audio track is comprised of 7.1 channels (as it does now. even if the metadata clearly states that it's a 6 channel Audio track).

Should I suggest it over at the bug tracker or here's fine?


Regards,

You wrote you tested it on 1.3x version, maybe the behaviour has changed for Beta? I'm afraid I can't test it for myself right now. Confused

Ok I Will test this soon Smile

I don't know where I picked it up along the way, but you can use the "Local Information Only" scraper. I used to used to have the same problem as you until I found the "Local Information Only" scraper (I repeat the name because it's the name of the scraper in XBMC). I'm sorry, but I can not tell you where I picked it up. I did a quick Google search and it seems that it may be included with Gotham, so you may want to consider switching.

Hi,

I had a small issue last night and i'm not sure if it's a bug or me doing something stupid.

I reloaded the library, but what I didn't realise that my laptop had disconnected itself from my network. No worries, just re-connected and reloaded the library again. But when it had finished it only recognized the nfo, poster and fan art and nothing else. all the logo, clear-art etc. files are still there!

Any suggestions why or who I can get ember to reload with all the files loaded??

Also is there a way to display these files (along with the poster & fanart)?

Thanks

Pete

Am I correct that Ember does not download production codes from tvdb?


RE: Ember Media Manager 1.4.x BETA - Discussion Thread - shaktoo - 2014-08-12

Dan is it a known bug that Ratings are not being scraped for Movies ? I couldnt see that in the release notes.
Also any news regarding TV Shows Auto & Batch scraping implementation... is it further down the line ! Smile
And What About Trailer Scraping from either Apple or HD Trailers.net ... YT Sucks ATM ... have you seen couchpotatoserver latest GIT. they have implemented an excellent apple trailers implementation and scrapes perfect 1080p trailers.

Rating: Known bug and i will fix that today before next release.

TV autoscraping: not yet. But now Ember do download new infos automatically if an episode info is not available in cache.

Trailers: Apple trailer scraper is done and will be implemented in next release. IMDB scraper is also fixed.

Also I have implemented separate moviesets scrapers with all available image types.

I think I will add Check 2! Or maybe Ember should only display the icon if its in your own language?! thanks for suggestions!

I am desperately waiting for the TV Shows Bulk Renamer... Is that going to be in the next version? If not, do you know of a tool that will rename TV Shows based on what's in the .nfo and not what's on TheTVDB, EpGuides, TVRage or whatever?

Hello.

Have you tried theRenamer?

EDIT:
Never mind. I now see you want it to rename based on .nfo ...
Too bad I can't delete my own posts.
