Question  RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) Post: #791
Hi everyone,

New to the forum here but it's great to see all of these updates. I have been using Ember for a while now but hadn't found all of these updates so I have been making do even though the program seemed to be slowly falling apart. So I plan to get everything up to date and hopefully start to get a bit more out of the program.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if anyone will be able to answer this but does anyone know the ffmpeg command that Ember uses to create the video file with scrolling text when you use the Offline Media Manager option. Basically I have a collection of offline movies and TV episodes and I use the Offline Media Manager to get the meta data and then create a video which says where the DVD is located. This works fine for Movies but not for TV, I can create a 15 second avi from a jpg so I can use the backdrop.jpg file to create the video but I can't get the scrolling text overlay part. I have a few other ideas to do this either with subtitle files or by manually adding the DVD location to the picture but ideally I would like it to look the same as the offline movie files so if I had the ffmpeg command that Ember uses I could manually do it for the TV stuff and it will all look the same and be easier.

The command I have at the moment for ffmpeg which creates a 15 second avi from the jpg is:

ffmpeg -loop_input -i "F:\TV\The Big Bang Theory\Season 01\1x01 - Pilot.jpg" -s 1920x1080 -r 1 -t 15 -qscale 2 -b 1 -an "F:\TV\The Big Bang Theory\Season 01\1x01 - Pilot.avi"

I guess all Ember does is something similar but with a switch to overlay some text. I have spent a will looking into various ffmpeg library commands but I haven't really got anywhere. If I could just find out what command Ember sends to ffmpeg I could work the rest out myself.

Cheers for any help Smile

Using 1.3.0.5 with the new plugin link trailer support, noticed a couple of movies not scraping the plugin url on automatic scrape, instead I'm getting links going to http://www.totaleclips.com/ . An example movie would be Contraband.

Hi,

I have the following problem with EMM. For some reason the fanart stored in the extrathumbs folder is only downloaded in the smallest available resolution. When I scrape the movie (native scraper) I select all the fanart and tick the highest possible resolution. But still the fanart downloaded is only low resolution.

Any idea what that's about?

You use Ember 1.2?
If yes update...
Try to use the imdb id.

I can't get the Controller populate the sources. I get a message: http://pastebin.com/qC5F7fr8

I have a few remote programs connecting to XBMC, so it doesn't seem a connection problem. (setup like explained in http://ember.purplepig.net/boards/2/topics/33)

What is going wrong?

PS: love to see development is back of this amazing program. Really love it!

I did it, and now it does actually change some parts of the movie, for instance the title and scrapers, but it still says the wrong year etc.. so not quite working :/

Is "Only get URLs when scraping" activate in the setting?

Yes, its a bug, but only on manual selecting.
You can setup your preferred resolution in setting and use the automatc scraper -> only extrathumbs, this downloads the correct resolution.
