Anyone had the chance to look into imdbapi.com rather than imdb.com? Would really make things so much easier for us here in China...

I just started using Ember MM and I have a question that I don't think anyone has asked.
My movies are all in separate folders, and I encounter a problem with ones that are split in to two CD's. The directory structure looks like this: [D] My Movie Name - [D] CD1 ---[F] movie-cd1.avi (or a bunch of unextracted rar files of the CD1 avi) - [D] CD2 ---[F] movie-cd2.avi (or a bunch of unextracted rar files of the CD2 avi) So, the obvious solution would be to move the .avi files up into the root directory, but I'd really rather not do that (too many movies). When Ember scans (recursively, otherwise it doesn't detect any movies at all that is using the above folder structure), then it picks up each sub-directory as a separate entry. That means I end up with a long list of: CD1, CD1, CD1, CD1, CD2, CD2, CD2, CD2. Yuk! Is there a way to NOT scan recursively and still have it enter the movie info into the top directory? It shouldn't matter what's in the CD1, CD2 directories if all the .nfo data is added to the root movie directory, right? (as some movie folders do have a .nfo in its root but EMM not detecting). Also - is EMM able to detect movies that are unpacked (still in multiple rars)? As Ive got a few movies in folders named correctly but not extracted (i.e Movie Title->CD1->rar files) and EMM wont detect it. (I dont want to extract as XBMC can play them fine). Thanks

The first time i ran EMM, it worked with a test group of movies.
but later when i finished configuring EMM, when added my real media collection, it didnt list all those sets and associated movies in the "Sets Manager" in EMM. I need a workaround this, it will be a big hassle for me to go and create them all again

I'd like the <sorttitle> option in EMM somewhere. So if you open a set it puts the movies in the correct order in case the names don't do so alphabetically. It's annoying to have to go into a dozen sets of movies and edit the .nfo manually

Just came across this after hobbling along with the older buggy version for months. Thanks a lot for updating it.!

The field is labeled "sort title", right below the "original title" field. |

I also have each movie in it's own separate directory. I do NOT have each disc in its own subdir under the movie. You only need nfo, fanart, etc. for Disc1 of multidiscs, as XBMC and Ember will recognize it as a multidisc movie and stack accordingly. Try this: Using Lawrence of Arabia since it's two discs: c:\MyMovieLibrary\Larewnce of Arabia\ -Lawrence of Arabia [Disc 1].avi -Lawrence of Arabia [Disc 1].nfo -Lawrence of Arabia [Disc 1].tbn -Lawrence of Arabia [Disc 1]-fanart.jpg -Lawrence of Arabia [Disc 2].avi Can't help you with the rar's, sorry. |

Ive got disc 1 and disc 2 avi files in their own folders (titled CD1, CD2) within the movie's folder. Ive looked at your suggestion and it works (moving the files out of the folder and into the movie root). The problem is that heaps of my movies are in this structure so it will take lots of manual effort to cut/paste into root directory. Its obviously a last resort option if no one can help. Cheers again Is there a way to force EMM to scrape images based on folder names or .nfo in the folder? My folder has movie and year correctly, and in the root also has an .nfo. But EMM wont pick it up. Instead it picks up CD1 and CD2 as movie titles- so it seems EMM needs a media file to associate with before it will scrape anything...

Add the folder as source and check "Only Detect one Movie From Each Folder" and "User Folder Name for Initial Listing" should do what you want.
