Is there a limit on the number of movies in one folder. I got to 116, even removing the folder from the folder list, restarting and readding it doesn't find the other ones.
This is all on 2882 sorry. Also i'm not getting a lot of imdb info, ie, runtime, tagline and plot outline. Both an auto pilot with only top right box ticked, and a refresh on each individual movie is not fixing this up.
Another edit, i'm getting about 5 or so folders on the left hand list that are just stupid random characters, but there is no way to remove them. I think they are hidden folders in my directorys, they are definately not visible.
Yet again, change does however reload the correct imdb info, although not sure how change is any different to refresh.

Hallo, 2882 crash here with error when i select an Episode without episoden.tbn (tested on Law & Order - S18) ep 1-3 work but 4-end display this error msg.
Since 2870 MIP download again and again the same 155 files. I dont know if this is a problem on tvdb or MIP.

Couple of requests.
1) Some of the fields end with a space before the close tag which messes with certain views. I've done a 'find and replace' on them all with Notepad++ but would it be possible for MIP to do this automatically?
2) Runtime fields can be full of useless scraped info so now that MIP can check the actual video file runtime can that be used instead for a much more accurate runtime?
Thanks.

was looking into using wine to run mip, anyone have any info on what works and what doesn't.
- kulprit - 2009-04-23 15:20
OK, so almost every problem I had on the last page was to do with the fact that all my movies are stored in the root of a hard drive, with no folder above them. Still got 2 movies that although i kept putting in the imdb number it wouldnt load the stuff, got them eventually. Put in number, press green button, exit and start again, refresh, then change. Whole lot of stuff.
Also any sign of a copy classification to mpaa setting?

I'd only care about seconds if runtime was < 5 min.

There's not a limit to the number of items in a folder, it must be hitting something and exiting.
For the ones it's not pulling the imdb data, what is the movie name (and better yet, what's the imdbid for that movie)
I'll see about ignoring hidden folders altogether.

Since 2870 MIP download again and again the same 155 files. I dont know if this is a problem on tvdb or MIP.
When it's attempting to re-download the same images over and over again, it's the tvdb API returning links to invalid images on the site. Until they fix the API, MIP is going to try to download those files that don't exist. You could disable episode thumbnails in MIP, but then it won't get any thumbnails. I'm hoping they fix the api soon, it really slows the tv show parsing down when it hits those invalid files.
Quote:Couple of requests.1 - is this happening to all fields or just some of them? got a few examples (via imdbid)? (or is this for tvshows).. i'm sure i can strip that out in MIP

2 - great idea!! i'll add that as an option, use actual runtime. This is going to be odd for .iso's that have more then one video stream, and for stacked movies, for all others it will work fine.
Quote:was looking into using wine to run mip, anyone have any info on what works and what doesn't.As far as I know everything should be working under wine. The gui redraw is slower under wine, but everything should be working.

Still got 2 movies that although i kept putting in the imdb number it wouldnt load the stuff, got them eventually. Put in number, press green button, exit and start again, refresh, then change. Whole lot of stuff.So what did it take to fix the movie loading issue? just putting them in a folder?
Also any sign of a copy classification to mpaa setting?
I'm thinking of putting the classification into the studio field for tagging support. Would that work for you? (i'm hoping to get the classification field into xbmc at somepoint as it's own field).. it's easy for new data to put the data into the field with an if then else statement, it's a mess when I try to do it with existing data. I guess i could just mirror the studio field method.. mpaa and mpaareal in the .nfo file.. i'll see about that as well.

Or perhaps you could be really smart and add up all the video runtime values in a iso/stacked file

ok, just a quick question, why couldnt mip work on just nfo files only residing inside a folder without the video file? I am trying to transfer 1000+ movies from mac to pc using a fat32 drive. it takes almost 8 hours to transfer to the pc then run them in mip, then another 8 hours to transfer back.repeat....If it only needed a .nfo to do the searching it would br pretty sweet. it might actually do this, im not sure, i just thought about it while on lunch and couldnt try it until tonight.
Also people that use macfuse, can you see your external mac journaled drives on windows. mine never show up

For folder level movies, to just create the .nfo files, it doesn't need any video files. Of course it won't have the Media Information from the actual video file, but it will have the images and .nfo files.
Actually you can do the same for file level items by making a new 0k text doc and name it the video file name (be sure not to leave the .txt at the end of the file)
