Just discovered Ember again, so glad to find that development is back in motion! Just have a couple questions/potential feature requests:
1 - Is there a downloads watch folder feature built in to Ember? If so, please point me where. I need to be able to scan a directory on a regular basis and have Ember find the files, auto-scrape them, and move them to the appropriate destination directory. This doesn't have to be a GUI option even, I would be happy passing a command-line argument to the .exe to initiate the processing.
2 - I love the Sets Manager (so much easier than doing everything by hand with other software) but I have one small feature request. I have not seen any media or metadata manager with this feature, but I would like to be able to set a custom sort order (in the .nfo's <sorttitle>). Even a simple Up/Down button on the "Movies In Set" pane would do. This would allow for proper ordering in the XBMC video library. For instance:
This would cause them all to be sorted, in order of release date, at Die Hard Collection in the library. As of right now, it does not appear that Ember even uses the <sorttitle> tag when building an .nfo.
3 - I would LOVE to be able to update the XBMC library from the server instead of having to run a full update scan with the XBMC Library Auto Update plugin from RaspBMC on an hourly basis. I see that Ember has an XBMC Controller module but I am unable to get it linked to XBMC (I get a 404 error). Assuming I'm able to get it linked up, can this achieve what I'm looking for? I'd like to reduce (if not eliminate) the requirement of scanning from the clients, and handle all of this from the server, where the MySQL XBMC database is hosted.
Thanks!

Code:
\Die Hard Collection\A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)\ (sorttitle is 'Die Hard Collection 5')
\Die Hard Collection\Die Hard (1988)\ (sorttitle is 'Die Hard Collection 1')
\Die Hard Collection\Die Hard 2 (1990)\ (sorttitle is 'Die Hard Collection 2')
\Die Hard Collection\Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995)\ (sorttitle is 'Die Hard Collection 3')
\Die Hard Collection\Live Free or Die Hard (2007)\ (sorttitle is 'Die Hard Collection 4')
This would cause them all to be sorted, in order of release date, at Die Hard Collection in the library. As of right now, it does not appear that Ember even uses the <sorttitle> tag when building an .nfo.
