I have finally managed to get sabnzbd to call ember once it has finished a film download and scrape it via the cli options works great now and makes it all nice and automated

If that works with renaming files and folders, plz post a tutorial

havn't used ember in a while but i started it up to try and get some local trailers downloaded, but its not working. how do i get it to actually DOWNLOAD the trailers, not just put URLs.

really need the bulk option as i have like 300 movies.

well i see ember is coming together rather nicely , great job bodrick keep it up

ill be waiting till most bugs get fixed then ill add it back to my inventory until then ill be using xbmc's integrated scraping

Im using ember media manger 1.3 and for srome reason its not loading any of my movies fan art that was made in media companion there simply labled movie name then -fan art and it wont see them. It will pick up ones that i make in ember but thats about it. I am using Xbmc and it still picsk up all the movies but i want ot see in ember which ones do not have a fanart. Any ideas ?

You may not be able to download trailers but I am still getting amazon trailers links on a lot of movies

Hi,

i do have a quick question.

The context:

I do have XBMC configured with one directory called /movies/

on the other side, I do get movies automatically into a folder called /staging/


I would like to configure emmr to look into the folder called /staging/, scrape the movie then once all meta informations are retrieved move it into the directory /movies/ and update XMBC.

Is there any addons to do that ?

Thanks

yeah the links are of no use for me, i need to mass download some trailers for a xbmc box im making up for my father in law who lives in the bush with no net.

anyone that knows of a program or addon or anything i can use that actually works for downloading trailers? dont want to go thru and manually download 300+ trailers lol

used to work for ember back in the old days

I just had to say what an amazing program Ember is!! Wow. What a pleasure to use.

thank you!!

Hi just to let you know i figured it out EMM does not like some titles when i scrap this The Vampire Diaries S03E16-1912 i get the above errors
if i scrap it like this The Vampire Diaries S03E16 it scraps ok so it must be something to do with the 1912

Cheers Dibsta

I use couchpotato and ember and sabnzbd
Couchpotato to find my films and move them from the default folder to a drop on my nas, once this has been completed then ember starts to scrape.
Couchpotato also downloads the trailers for the selected films.

Ember and SAB and Couchpotato details are in here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9745941/SAB/SAB%...w%20to.pdf

This guide assumes you have ember configured already and pointed at your film location ( I use a temp directory before I move the films into my central location, as I have different categories such as action films, drama, kids, war and so on )

So the full setup is
SAB saves them in C:\Users\userid\Documents\Downloads\complete\movies
couchpotato moves them to w:\drop ( this is a share on a nas )
Ember is configured to look at W:\drop
Ember scrapes them in w:\drop
then I move them into the relevant folders on the nas
I haven't found a way to move say action films into action films directory yet but I'm working on something that will read the nfo and look for the genre tag and then move them into the folder this is still a work in progress.

Contents of the batch file
C:\Ember\emm.exe -newauto -all
TIMEOUT /T 120
taskkill /IM emm.exe /F

The timeout /t 120 is so it waits for ember to finish scraping once completed it will wait for 120 seconds before checking if the emm.exe task is still running ( sometimes it hangs ) and if it is it will kill the process
( /f is force kill )

I only use ember for films and not for TV show as this is managed by Sickbeard and yes I'm aware that couchpotato can scrape and generate NFO's but this doesn't always work correctly and sometimes I want more details which ember can provide.
