RockDawg Wrote:No duration is displayed. Also, there's no sound codec listed and AR is wrong on the couple movies I tried. I remember back when I was using Ember I was having similar problems and I think he traced it down to needing to run VIDEO_TS.BUP through Mediainfo rather than VIDEO_TS.IFO

Media Companion is now being developed on Windows 7 professional (x64), although it is compiled for x86 cpu's, so I can assure you that the retail version has no such issue.

Maybe you could try installing the latest .net, it is compiled with .net 3.5
The exact build I am using comes with Windows 7 and is 3.5.7283

I'm new with this great software and I use it for TV shows and it works very well. I've only a big doubt with some special episodes as pilot or similar (for examples N.C.I.S. pilot or Battlestar Galactica Miniseries). How I have to rename them for the scrapers?
Thank you

• The Actor search for movies has been readded, a cache will be created when first running this build.
  
• The Movie context menu has been brought up to date to be similar to the tvlist context menu.
  
• The Movie list now has tooltips to show basic movie information before selection.
  
• Runtime and Date Added sortorder buttons have been added. (Not 100% sure the date added tag is working properly, it needs more testing.
  
• The imdb scraper has been fixed.
  
• Individual TV Shows Can be locked, when searching for new episodes these shows are ignored.
  
• A search this show for new episodes has been added to the Treeview context menu.
  
• A New wall of movies view that allows people to view their collections graphically, when using this for the first time it takes time to load, each movieposter is loaded then resized and saved into a cache folder, movies added after this build create the lo-res cache images when the poster is initially downloaded, once cached the list loads fairly quickly. The list represents whatever movies are listed including sorted and filtered lists. This also contains a number of useful context menu items.
  
• Other cosmetic changes such as remembering the size of the splitcontainers, containing the posters and fanart etc.
  
• Custom genre lists are now available, to enable this feature just create a text file called "genre_filterlist.txt" in your MC settings folder, and just add the filters you desire, eg.
  
  Code:

  <85>
Action
Adventure
Animation
Biography
Comedy
Crime
Documentary
Drama
Family
Fantasy
Film-Noir
History
Horror
Music
Musical
Mystery
Romance
Sci-Fi
Short
Sport
Thriller
War
Western
  The filters are not case sensitive, but they must contain the text that the search looks for, eg "fa" would list both "family" & "fantasy"
  The "<85>" refers to the control column width, tooltips are shown when the mouse is over an item so they can be cropped without issue, while there is room to fit 30 filters comfortably with a column width of 85, more can be added, but a scroll bar will be added to the control.
  the following are special tags and are not directly related to the genre, if you want to add these filters then they must be as follows:
  
  Code:

  Top250
Watched
Unwatched
Problem
Duplicates
Missing Posters
Missing Fanart
  Yes, missing posters and fanart has been fully intergrated into the filters.
  
  
• HTML templates can now be used, the templates should be saved in the "html_templates" folder, 3 basic templates are included with the build, for the moment only the header and body are supported, I will add support for a footer soon.
  Supported tags are:
  
  Code:

  <<moviecount>> - this is the total movies
<<title>>
<<movietitleandyear>>
<<movieyear>>
<<runtime>>
<<rating>>
<<outline>>
<<imdb_url>>
<<fullpathandfilename>>
<<count>> - incremental counter
<<plot>> - This works, but needs to be loaded from each nfo so will be considerably slower than creating a html without it.
  Each template should start with the line "<title>template title</title>", this is how the template will be listed in the html menu list. You can view the supplied templates to get the idea of how it works.
  The features of the templates will become more advanced as time goes by, if anyone wants to contribute then I will add them to the archive.
