Hi euphoric. I'm currently training as a C# dev and am looking for a project to contribute to. Do you mind if I have a pop?

- kautious - 2009-04-07

I just have one question--- I have about 100 movies on my xbox hard drive with nfo's I got from another app(not XBMC scraper). Can I just transfer the nfo files to my PC and get new fanart,tbn's and more info put on the nfo... Or do I have to transfer the whole movie file?

I hope somebody understood that...it's been a long night Eek

I recently just saw this thread, and I was wondering if this nfo scrapper supports skin based flagging such as Media Info Plus does (for Aeon of course)

Don't get me wrong, I love media info plus, but it's interface is kinda bloated, and I love the simplicity of your program, but without skin based flagging I'd be hard pressed to jump ship.

I recently found this app, and i love it. I found the code on sourceforge and made some updates

- Folder monitoring
- File stacking
- gridsorting

are now implemented.

Any chance of seeing a Mac version?

Does this program not support folders that are on networked computers?
All my movies reside on HDDs in a server.

Of course it does, though I've found the computer with the films on needs to be visible in Network (I'm using Vista). Instead of choosing a local folder, go through the network and choose your server, then the folder from there.

You'll need write permission on the folder(s) you wish to change.

Odd Characters in Movie Title - poopiepants - 2009-07-13

Has anyone run into garbage in the movie titles?

for instance:

singing in the rain

Singin' in the Rain

Seems it has issues with some chracters.
Such as: & '
and a few others.

It took me a bit to scrape my Spaghetti Western Movies.
It will have issues with many foreign movies. Sad

Media Reader runs natively on Linux, Windows, and Mac and does all of this and much more. (Blatent self-promotion)

Can't get it to do anything - greybeard - 2009-07-24

Win XP SP2, 3 GHz Core duo, 2GB mem, 4.5TB disk space, with movies in dirs on all disks except C: dirs are mostly off the root of the drive, e.g. F:\movies, E:\isos, etc., with movie files in those dirs, such as F:\movies\casablanca.mpg, etc..

XBMC nfoscraper.exe in C:\bin

Click on nfoscraper and it initially opened a config screen. I added *.mpg to the file suffixes, added F:\movies to the folder list, unchecked box about saving art as movie.* and the box about using folders instead of filenames. Save the config and go back to the main screen. Make sure I am in Movie mode, try the help. Nothing. About XBMC nfoscraper opens a blank box. The other help option does nothing. Set Filter: to everything OK. Go to Files tab and tell it to rescan, nothing happens.

Anybody have any idea what might be wrong? Is there a way to turn on debugging? I used to be pretty proficient in C on UNIX and DOS, but never made the jump to Win or to any of the object-oriented extensions to C. Also do not have a clue about .Net. My .Net installation may be damaged, since Media Companion gen2 3.039 and all earlier versions also quit working.

You should change your filter to "all" or "anything missing". Other than that, i can tell you that the part about getting a list of movies to show is VERY basic and is simply using a filesystem-component to list all folders... pretty much. Nothing can really go wrong here, and it should be relly fast...

This is exactly the application i was looking for, fast, simple and "multi platform". Unfortunatly it only works partly on my linux box running wine version 1.1.26 and Mono JIT compiler version 2.4 (tarball Sat Apr 18 14:14:37 CEST 2009)
The main problem is that "right clicking" doesn't work (i.g. no menu to select auto mode or anything else).
This is a real show stopper, but I realize it's still in alpha stage.
Is there a way to fix it? or to open this window by using one of the F buttons?

Thanks in advance!

I would love to try those, although your links don't appear to be working.
Could you place some working links for us to try it out?

Thanks
