@Aaron thanks for your response. I've had a look at your file listing and found at least one problematic directoryname. Maybe your original had more of them and they caused tmm to drive crazy. Nevertheless Myron added some more validation checks, that such a problem won't happen again Thanks for your assistance

@nerve sorry, I didn't have time to have a look at your problem again. It's really weird (with thousands of other users, I've never heard from such a problem..) - but I hope you can live with the workaround until we find a solution.

[nerve]

No prob for me, it work and that's the essential !
Thank's for all your works and supports !

x fixed a database loading problem

1) at the moment we (internally) only use the plot; the outline in the NFOs is a stripped down (iirc 200 chars) version of the plot. If you have a look at the API of tmdb (http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#movies) you see that tmdb is only using "overview" - which would be the outline in your case.
BUT: taking the plot/outline from IMDB has some drawbacks: they are poorly maintained (almost no translations to other languages). That's why I included the option to take the plot from tmdb.

When we start to mix these 2 things (first of all we would have to implement to whole infrastructure for outline) - how should we decide when to use what? E.g. if we use imdb with the tmdb option, the plot comes from imdb whereas the outline comes from tmdb. That's true for EN, but a German user won't be happy with it because the plot from imdb will be empty in most cases.
When we decide to take everything from tmdb, we have to fill the plot and outline from tmdb.

I hope you see why that's is not that trivial...

2) we already plan to implement such a "source" concept. But we did not finish our strategy how to detect/maintain the source(s). Btw: I don't think it's enough to take all "rips" - we should also implement dvdscr, ts, (any maybe more).

at the moment I can say tmm is safe to use (as we have several thousand users and only 1 reported problem with renaming ).
But you should consider doing a BACKUP. Maybe tmm doesn't destroy your lib, a hardware defect or even a corrupt filesystem can do. If your movie library is something worth for you - DO A BACKUP! and one more thing: a NAS is NOT a BACKUP!!

hi, thx for program, very cool!

Just one (big) problem: when i change some information in TMM (for example fanart), i can see that the .jpg in my movie folder is correctly update.. but when i start XBMC (even if i update my library) that information doesn't change!

Can you help me??

Sorry for my poor english

[myron]

Hi,
XBMC does not do an update.
You have to remove/delete this movie from XBMC and then do an update again...

[tokino76]

Thx for fast replay! I try to explain better what i've done

Yesterday i try in this way:

- in TMM i change the fanart
- in the folder, the fanart jpg was update.
- start XBMC and remove from the movie from my film
- update library
- XBMC find the movie but the fanart was the PREVIOUS one, there's no way to see the NEW one

[mlaggner]

afaik xbmc builds an image/thumb cache. Maybe there is a need to clear the cache for the desired movies.
to be honest: I have no clue how

[roliverosc]

Hi I have a suggestion for next version ...

- Possibility to manually rename both folder and files from TMM. Sometimes I had to rename a folder or file and I had to re-scan the entire database. similar to what is done emberMM.

- Ability to physically delete files and folders on the disc. I think it useful to filter duplicates and when I see that it is duplicate I can delete from TMM.

- Be able to preview the image full screen. On occasion can not tell that language are the posters, for example by double clicking on the images before selecting them. This would be interesting for all times we select images.

- To edit tag for files MKV

- Ability to download trailers

Nothing you already work for a while

PD: I like new update

Hi,

first i want to thank you for this great tool!

I have one problem with my current setup:
Currently i have 2 main directories:
* Movies - this directory contains all movies which have now movie set - means all movies are in the same directory
eg: \movies\
Movie1.mkv,Movie1.nfo,Movie2.mkv ....
* Moviesets - here i have for each movie set one single directory:
eg: \moviesets\Alien\
Alien1.mkv, Alien1.nfo, Alien2.mkv ....
\moviesets\Rocky\
Rocky1.mkv, Rocky1.nfo ...
For most of the movies i already have existing pinctures, nfo's...

Problem:
Basically for 'Movies' everythink is working fine but for 'Moviesets' the nfo is not interprated correctly - for example the plot and other informations are missing! If i copy some movies into the 'Movies' directory the nfo is inteprated correctly!

Any Idea how to solve this?

I also have 1 request - is there any way to also export TV shows (html, xml)?

THANKS again for a great tool

Has anyone experienced this issue? The GUI seems to be enlarged with wrong proportions... Resizing the window does not help as well as reinstalling TMM and Java. The correct elements start to appear on mouse hover. Thanks for any help. Image below:

@roliverosc: renaming / deleting files (except the built in functions in the renamer) would be a critical function; I may sleep 1 or 2 (or more) nights over this
full screen preview is available with v2.5.2 - but only for existing images. In the imagechooser I've to find another way to implement this
tagging mkv files is not as easy as writing xml/nfo files.. we need another tool which merges the xml (with the tags) into the mkv. We have already some contact with a guy from mediaportal, but this is not high rated on our todo list..
download trailers is still on the todo list - it is not easy to implement a "download manager" into tmm - which is needed for long running downloads ;/

@al15: looks like some sort of bug; I'll investigate this the next days

[mlaggner]

@smidra: unfortunately I've never seen such a problem. But since everything is drawn wrong I can't imagine it is a problem of tmm/java. could you maybe try to install the latest graphics drivers (I've read sometimes about bad rendering when there is a bad graphics driver installed)

[mlaggner]

@al15: fixed it in 2.5.2; exporting for tv shows isn't done yet
