Thanks for that info Smile
Follow up question/comment

I've tried your program now and I found that (after manually renaming 250 iso files to match IMDB names to allegedly make adding info easier) your program options won't let me untick the option that ignores information in brackets.

This means that the (year) data is ignored and therefore I have to manually choose particular titles for more than 50% of my isos.

I've done this now (phew .. never again Smile) but is there a reason that this tickbox is greyed out?

(another related problem that this causes is that using the "move to folder" option will move e.g. "mymovie (2009).iso" into a folder called only "mymovie" and subsequent updates to <moviename>.tbn by MIP will be placed in the folder named only "mymovie.tbn" and therefore be ignored by xbmc.)

Hope this makes sense.

Otherwise a good program by the way, and a real timesaver (up to a point) but quite a steep learning curve.

For other newbies can I advise building a small test directory with 5 or 10 media files/directories and a mixture of preexisting tbn nfo and jpg files to learn how to preserve pre existing information before going further, (I _did_ do this but missed the significance of the 'missing years' renaming issue above).

i've added more debug output to the area that it's getting stuck on, please run miptvupdate.exe -debug again .. i know it's no fun, but this is one of the few areas that the tvupdate app fails in, it will help alot when we have isolated and fixed the issue.

Not sure why that one is disabled, there must have been another issue that came up with other areas or i would have enabled it. I'll see about taking another look at that part of the code. Can you post some of the folder/filenames that it was breaking on.

The new unified media manager application does not have the limits that mip does, and it is getting there. It's faster, way better is reading, scanning, and handling, and parsing of data, new item detection, pretty much better then mip could ever be. It also helps that I've learned alot from the 2 media managers I made and the whole bunch that others made as well. It also is a real Plus that there is a team of devs working on it, that helps alot as mip was just me.

Hey fekker that link you sent me seems to be fekked Wink can you send me another one please, cheers

Here you go..

Btw, MIP is running just fine on W7 x64. With the exception of the TV-shows part..
I get the following exception after downloading a bunch of files:
http://pastebin.com/f7dc46b9a

Will I have to wait for UMx, or will you eventually try to fix this bug(or what it is)?

Anyway, I love this application, it has been a great timesaver for me, as the movies section works as intented.

can you run the debug version i posted (the one ya fixed the link in) from the command line with the -debug flag

miptvupdate.exe -debug

i'm trying to narrow down the object that is getting disposed of early (or just not assigned correctly)

i'll get this one fixed when i find what's causing it.. UMx will have way better tv support and options, like loading those that don't have information and can't be scraped, so it can be filled out and even submitted back (if we sort that part out)

The windows blblabla has found out that miptvupdate has stopped working-dialog reads the following:

miptvupdates output:

I have to say that UMx seems to be a great manager..

And hey, what about dvd-boxsets of tv-shows?
Lets say that i have three isos containing 6 episodes of a tv-show, will it be possible for you to cooperate with the xbmc-team to implement a feature where the mediamanager saves bookmarks in the nfo, to tell xbmc what episode is on what chapter of the iso? I know that I can just rip it, and make the ripper make a new file for each chapter/scene.

I've got some isos in my tv-collection, may that be the reason for this exception?

not sure why it didn't fail that time, it didn't hit the lastest changes, so it's gotta be an xml error or something that it fixed itself.
