Any ideas?

There is a file, "config.xml" in the app folder, which you *should* be able to edit manually if all else fails...

I noticed that almost all of my movies ask me to choose the correct movie from imdb, and 99% of the time the correct one is listed twice with the same ID for some reason. Is there a way to check and see if that ID is listed and if so - use it automatically? It would be easier to fix any wrong movies then to make sure every movie is correctly chosen manually.

How are your files named/organized? The only time the program should present you with the option to pick the proper movie is when it can't figure out the name itself...i.e., something in your naming may be throwing it off. This could be the production year, extraneous scene tags, etc...

Many thanks that one worked a treat but it has not fixed the main stumbling block which is it will not load my music library.

Is there any other programmes designed to scrape music fan art? Thats really all I want.

Structure is:

Movies
---Movie Name
------Movie Name.avi

I have no dates or anything in the folder names, just the movie name for both the file itself and the folder its in. Almost every movie I have it asks me to choose the correct one, and 99% of the time its the one thats listed twice with the same ID. Not sure why that's the case though.

Here's the scenario for this screenshot:
- I loaded my entire library and ran autopilot. I have no other files except the movies in the folders.
- My movies are laid out as I mentioned above (you can see this in the picture)
- Other than about 5 movies, they all ask me to select from the list
- For every one of them, the correct movie is listed twice with the same ID (as you can see in this picture) (also note that I manually selected the movie in this list, it wasn't already selected)

You know, now that you mention it, I think I recall a conversation where fekker said something to the effect of "he was going to turn off the auto-checking, but didn't get to it yet?"

My suggestion would be to scan your lib with XBMC as-is. Then export the db back to individual files, which *should* then make .nfo's with the proper IMDB ID's for most everything. Just make sure to check "use folder names for lookup" when you set the content for the folder. Once the .nfo's are in place, I'd wager that autopilot will work much better.

Native HD tag is coming to XBMC. how is this being prepared for?
@digitalhigh: looks like you're the caretaker for now

Obviously, with fekker's current absence, there's not much that can be done for the current incarnation of CapnBry's work...however, I know that fekker was aware of this development a long time ago, and it looks like MIP should already support the *majority* of what's used by XBMC.

This is the XML schema as listed by CapnBry:

And this is the XML schema currently generated by MIP:


So, it definitely looks like everything should work, except for the aspectratio, which needs the MIP tag changed to just <aspect>.

Quote:@digitalhigh: looks like you're the caretaker for now

I try my best. I just hate having to tell people that "feature x" isn't supported yet, but most likely will be as soon as fekker's back.

Sorry for the basic question, but as I am new to using Media Info Plus I am not sure what I am running into is relative to my own misunderstanding of the program, or whether MIP or tmdb is having issues ... I'm running MIP 2.0.1.2898. How do I force a 'rescan' of TMDB for new fanart for my movies?

Thanks!
