EMM-r (Fixes and Changes on rev2420)

richhy Wrote:I've been using this version of ember for a week or so and have encountered a strange problem. Initially, I created a set which after a bit of testing (I'm new to xbmc) I decided to stop using. In the set options I removed the movies and the set. However, on scanning or re-scanning the set will reappear.... containing the original bunch of movies. It then shows up in xbmc. How can I
permanently delete a set? I have even tried deleting all .nfo files and re-scanning but the set always appears again. I also tried removing ember and re-installing it but to no avail. Where is the set information stored if not in the .nfo file?

I'm using 64bit windows 7 and xbmc is running on a mac mini... (I have also tried a fresh install of xbmc to see if the problem was there but again to no avail)....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I know this is going to sound rudimentary, but did you try removing the sets, movies, everything from the XBMC library, cleaning the library and then updating the library. There's almost no problem that won't fix.

ok i upgraded (simply over-wrote 2421 over 2420).

and now, when i created a new genre in "Settings">"Misc.", i get this error


well, i needed some genres, such as "Reality TV", since it's not there by default.

ok, found a big problem (at least for me / xbmc) with v5/v6/2421/2422 (clean install). Left everything standard, but:

Ember doesn't write any MOVIE.NFO/TBN anylonger after scraping, although it is selected in setup! Just the <moviename>.nfo/tbn are written!

Pleeeease correct that

What be nice is if it would also scrape the two fields below:

Code:

<displayseason>1</displayseason>
        <displayepisode>4096</displayepisode>

The XBMC native scraper will do this, this ensures that specials are displayed (not only in the specials directory) but in the appropriate location of the seasons.

Spinecho put a couple examples on pastebin of the same episode - one scraped with XBMC and one scraped with EMM-r

This one is the nfo xbmc creates (with this one the specials are also displayed with the relevant season): http://pastebin.com/gGPrLgDY

This on is the nfo emm-r creates (with this one the specials are NOT displayed with the relevant season): http://pastebin.com/BVadfFyD

Hi, I'd love this functionality in emm-r as well! (Thanks for the namecheck, Fional!!)

I rescraped all my tv show images yesterday. How do I update my xbmc to use all the new images I made changes to with EMM?

As far as I am aware there is no automatic way to do it. So I go to the files section of XBMC remove the source (Television) and readd it. That will then ask you if you want to get the info from the internet or locally. Choosing to scrape it locally will load all of your new images.

I'm not sure where at in the system you are talking about. Can you be more detailed?

In the XBMC menu under Videos you should have a Files section. That will take you to the section where you can see Television and Movies (depending on what you called them when you added them) You will also see the option to add source on this screen. So what I did was right click (context menu) on the television entry and select remove source. Link for more details http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Media_sources

It will ask you if you want to clean library which you should do. Once thats done you will want to add source and select the drive area where your TV shows are stored. Set content to TV Shows and set it to run automated scan - and click ok. It will then rescan and grab all of your new images.

Doing this will lose your 'watched' flag history. You might want to back up the db so you can keep this information, if it is important to you.
