Can you give some more info. Running mc_com.exe scraping TV episodes or Movies?
and is the filename called "thumbs.tbn"?

[ztrust]

hey
I´m sorry for the lack of info it is when it scrapes episode and yes there is thumbs.tbn?
no problems with movies

I've looked through the code and can't find anywhere where it creates a file called thumbs.tbn
Can you post up a screenshot showing folder and files with thumbs.tbn in it. Else, check you messages at xbmc.

Cheers

hey Vbat

I am sorry I spoke without double checking the tbn that is created follows the same naming as my thumbs jpg
so I have
True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole.mkv
True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole.nfo
True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole.tbn
True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole-thumb.jpg

but there dosent seem to be any logic to when it happens sometime it do and sometime it dont

[vbat99]

I see.

In Media Companion, you have select Both as the option for Artwork Version (in General Preferences).

True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole.tbn is the thumb format for XBMC versions before Frodo.

True Blood S07E03 Fire in the Hole-thumb.jpg is the format for XBMC from Frodo, Gothan and Helix (next version of XBMC)


If you don't have an XBMC version before Frodo, then change this option to Frodo and onwards. and your won't get any .tbn files anymore.
Hope this is of help.

I am running V3.5.9.8 yesterday I dragged and dropped 50 or so movies and all went well (7/12/2014) to day when I go to drop any movie I keep getting the following error:
---------------------------

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

URL string =http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wSMSEoNvF65wkGDhWuKqtA5loSs.jpg

cachefolder = C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Downloads\Media Companion 3.598\cache\

path = U:\Cesar Chavez (2014)\fanart.jpg
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
All preferences are the same except I have all Scraping options selected


Update:

By the way great job on this app, I used to use MM to look up all the movies but this is much more robust and simpler to use THNX

So with that said
Moving the folder to the C drive seemed to do the trick... her is what is happening now:
I ran 8 movie folders an all worked great so I went and looked at preferences and found that I did not check the following:
Extra Artwork: Download Extra Fanart/Thumbs
or
If movies in folders, save extra Artwork
Allow save ExtraFanart
or
If movies In Folders, Save artwork as:
Create folder.jpg file for each folder
Create fanart.jpg for each folder

so I went back and remover all the .nfo files , checked the above selections and D&D the folders again and received the following popup for each folder

---------------------------
Utilites
---------------------------
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.FileWebRequest' to type 'System.Net.HttpWebRequest'.

cachefolder = C:\Media Companion 3.598\cache\

path = U:\Cat's Eye (1985)\folder.jpg
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
after I clicked OK to each pop up it went thru all the folders and completerd so it did not hang like last time

Thanks for a job well done and if you need more info just ask

Please move Media Companion folder from your downloads folder to your C Drive. I believe it's a permissions issue.

We have had error's in this routine before, and I placed a messagebox there to try and determine what object is causing the error.

Please let me know if moving the Media Companion 3.598 folder stops the above messages from occurring.

I get a similar message any time I do a "Search for new Movies"

The new movie is found and the nfo created, but the poster is not downloaded, and I have to right click and download thenposer manually.

Hey Vbat
I am sorry to say That is not the problem because I have it set to frodo and onwards and it dosent create it when I run Mediacompanion only some times when running mc_com

[vbat99]

I'll look into the mc_com code some more.

Hmmm....that one can be caught better, as I see the code is not differentiating \\delfi-ds1010 as a lan address instead of web address. It's the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." that's harder to nail down.

Will have a search and see what might be causing this.

Can we get support for Extras stored in movie folders and not having MC scrape them? The way xbmc works is by using regex to ignore matching folders.

Extras?? Can you provide info or links to what this is please.

[vbat99]

Are you possibly talking about the add-on: VideoExtras? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...in_Support

If so, the in Media Companion you need to add the extras folder to be excluded


This means Media Companion will ignore any folder of this name, and it's files and sub-folders.

Hope this helps, though I'm interested in adding support to MC for this function, including creating of the extra video's nfo's.

[djvj]

Sure
