Movie scraper YEAR help
#1
Since I'm running Rapier skin thought I'd try here first.

No matter what file convention I use I can not get my movies to populate the "YEAR" category.

just an example!

parent folder - Avatar (2009)
file - Avatar (2009).mkv
or
parent folder - Avatar
file - Avatar.mkv

etc etc etc.

I've tried every naming convention and no matter which I try I'm not able to get the YEAR category to populate.

scraper is themoviedb.com

all my tv shows populate the year fine using scraper thetvdb.com
parent folder - 30 Rock
Season 01
30 Rock - S01E01 - name.mkv

confused :confused2:

Hi,

Have you tried using Ember Media Manager? You can then download the cover art, fan art, movie info and store it in the same folder as the movie. The movie info will be stored in an .nfo file which XBMC will read upon scanning. That way, scraping your movies after a new install goes a lot faster and you will be able to populate everything.

Here's a link to the Media Manager:

This did not seem to be a log from a scanning session (ie update library, preferably with some new media found).
