1) leave default create options checked
--- if you have changed and checked, unchecked, disabled, etc.. just remove config.xml and it'll start back up with the getting started wizard and reset everything to defaults.
2) go into config and check skin based tagging support, and wicked blue ui color scheme
3) run autopilot, leave the defaults, just pick poster on the left
4) select the movies as they appear
ok, the color scheme doesn't matter
now for posters, it's only checking impawards posters for autopilot.. no biggy, once it's done with autopliot, just click on the left, missing movie images and you'll have the ones that you'll need to change.
in the end, most if not everybody, ends up going back through and picking other options in the gui, that's kinda what mip's for, picking the images you want, changing the data to how you want it to be displayed.. etc

add it to the studios list via the mystudios.xml .. then select it for the movie
or manually type it into the gui..
i don't think it's being checked there in aeon, but it would be an easy change in the xml for it to lookinto that field for it

When i try to load my tunes, it blocks on "Avril Lavigne - Let Go - 09 - Things I'll Never Say".
added to my fixit list
Quote:thanks! Sorry that I did not have the idea with the show id myself ... not very smarti had to look at the code to remember the file name myself, and i never posted how to do that one before as it won't show in the gui under it can be pulled from tvdb.com
for that show, it looks like the text is english, but the lang is de, that's why it was flagged, of course that doesn't show up unless you manually grab a file that you have get via the middle of an api call..

wierd
one more thing.. make sure your using the latest build, 2850

As a test (and because I thought it was needed) I uploaded a new fanart for "10 Things..". It now shows 5 in the "Backgrounds" tab, but only 2 images are actually displayed.
After checking into it, it appears that the 3 missing backgrounds are png files.
Perhaps PNG backgrounds are not supported in MIP?
Edit: NM. I see that PNG isn't supported in XBMC according to the online manual.

i'll have to change that check around, there's a few areas that need to be updated, will take abit to fix.
I wonder how many items are impacted by this.. i could always take and send them through image magick and spit out a jpg file.
I think what i should do is get the embedded version of image magick working, so that mip has it internal to the app, then things like format conversion on the fly will be possible without requiring anything else be installed.
- thoughts on that?
TV Show general
-- this works for Alpha Centauri
I did find that if you change the lang for tvshows, you'll need to either set the number of days to update to 1 (temporary) so that it removes the cached english (default) version, or empty the folder where those are at
those zip files are here
C:\Program Files\mediainfoplus\temp\tvdb\everything\
also, for tvshows
The mpaa rating is not going to do much good at this point
here's the mpaa tvshow fun ..
if lang is 'us' then mpaa for tvshows is returned
TV-14
if lang is 'de' then mpaa for tvshows is returned
TV-14
if lang is es
TV-14
if lang is fr
TV-14
if lang is pl
TV-14
i'm seeing a pattern here.. it's always returning the same thing

Fekker thx man, will do that now, just one thing do i need delete any caches or anything as although i have removed nfos it still seems to be remembering my movie list?

shouldn't be any need to, the movie list is dynamic, it comes from the folder or filename
mip doesn't store any information about what movies/shows you have, it's all on the fly

that would be the recycle bin..
it should be ignoring that folder
as a workaround
C:\RECYCLER (or whatever drive it's on)
create a file called specialfolder.nfo .. just blank file.. make sure it's not specialfolder.nfo.txt .. in that folder, that's mips flag to ignore it.
- lestat1977uk - 2009-04-06
will try that

working on movie poster size's
what poster resizing do you all want for movie posters?
These will work just like fanart, so they will center and scale, keeping the aspect ratio for the image.
here's what i was thinking
320x480 (480)
360x540 (540)
384x576 (576)
480x720 (720)
720x1080 (1080)
800x1200 (1200)
1000x1500 (bigger
)I've finished up movie poster compression, same settings as fanart as far as quality levels go.
and i've embedded image magick into mip now, so a seperate install is no longer required for 32bit os's.. not sure yet on 64bit
