Iris Wrote:Shouldn't XBMC update library command refresh the library to reflect the .nfo's, etc. saved by MC? Manually selecting a movie title and refreshing it works. I guess I'm missing something and my absence from the scene for awhile doesn't help me either. Can someone give me some guidance?

billyad2000 Wrote:You can update the movie info using the refresh command when viewing movie details within XBMC

Iris Wrote:Yeah, I've done that as noted. I was thinking something more along the lines of the whole library rather than one title at a time.

slicemaster Wrote:Hey, I don’t know if this is an issue with just me but I can only link the issue with the newer versions of Media Companion. Anyways, I have all my content stored on a FreeNAS server and I have been unable to scrape new data for new content. I don’t know why exactly but when it search for new content it detects the correct number of new things to be scrapped but it just halts and hovers on 1 of 10 in my case and it doesn’t do anything. Any tips or recommendations would be helpful.

Keep up the good work,
Slice

You just a mentioned dvd files. I have a couple of folders that are actual dvd rips with file structure intact. Is there any way for MC to scrape the information off them. For the record I'm trying to scrape a Red Vs Blue Season 1 dvd (and 2 + 3).

billyad2000 Wrote:I am not 100% sure what the problem is, but there was a similar issue that has been partially resolved. There is an issue with mediainfo.dll, this is the library that gets the info for the media tags. When scanning dvd image files (.ifo files) Media Info can take hours to get the details. Unfortunatley mediainfo.dll is a 3rd party library and thus beyond my control.

The way to check this is to uncheck "Create HD Media Tags when scraping" located in the movie scraper preferences. If this is the issue then when disabled the movies should scrape normally.

Hope this helps,

Billy

slicemaster Wrote:thanks for the tip! i went ahead and made that switch and bam...everything is back to normal! thanks for the help....btw what does that lib and setting do?

billyad2000 Wrote:mediainfo.dll is the library that returns media information about a file, this includes things such as codecs, resolution, aspect, scantype etc.

MC stores this information within the nfo files and some XBMC skins use these tags to display the above information about media.

You will find that it works without issue for normal media files (avi, mpg etc) but an IFO file is not a media container as such, it is a disk container that needs to be opened to read the media within. I suspect that mediainfo.dll actually extracts the whole file to obtain the information, this can take a very long time, especially if the file is located accross a network.
