New version is great, looks much better than old one.

Working good, rebuilt my existing movies fine but then added two new ones and it scraped all the info properly but it isn't putting a folder.jpg (poster) in each movie folder, is this feature working at the moment?

It is not enabled yet, but i'll check the code and enable this feature later.

I have several other things I want to work on, but i'll upload an update with this included by tomorrow night at the latest.

Couple of things I noticed today...

It was scraping 521 movies, and moving along, and then just stopped. I hit media search again, and it took off on the remaining ones, and then stopped again. All in all, it took about 11 total tries to get all 521 done. I know, that's not a lot of info, but that's all I have also.

Secondly, I have the checkbox 'Save files as "movie.nfo", "movie.tbn", & "fanart.jpg", but it was still saving everything as 'moviefilename.nfo', 'moviefilename.tbn'. (ie- 300.2006.BRRip.XviD.AC3-WHiiZz.nfo)

New version 3.019

Changes
  • Issues with naming conventions have been fixed, movie.nfo, folder.jpg, and fanart.jpg formats are verified as working.
  • Errors when renaming existing scene nfo files have been fixed.
  • Trailer download and playback support has been enabled, but only for IMDB.
  • folder.jpg issues fixed
  • List movies without posters & fanart has beed added
  • Issues when scraping a movies would cause the whole scraper thread to shut down have been fixed.
  • Over all exception handling has been tweaked and should now be more robust.

I have to say, I expected this gen2 to be a big improvement over gen1, but I have been very surprised about how few bug reports I have actually recieved.

Download Version 3.019

Just overwrite the previous version, the config will remain compatable.

People may not be aware of what should be working and what shouldn't. I don't want to report something that you haven't worked on yet. The one thing I notice missing is the ability to list only movies that were just found. I tried to sort by date added but that didn't seem to work for me. I will try again with this release. Thanks for the hard work. This is by far my favorite scraper.

I believe the 3.019 is linked to 008.

Looks great, any chance the ignore rar files option can be activated?
I set a value there but doesn't seem to save
