Hi all new the forums and XBMC; just installed it on my new HTPC and I’m having bit of trouble getting the scraper to work as I want it to, so I though id ask the experts !

Basically my problems are these

1.

The scraper seems to scrape the wrong movies about 20 % of the time even though I have my digital movie collection laid out as Movies/[Movie Name]/[Moviename.avi/mkv/mp4 etc].

I Remember seeing when I was doing my initial research that there is a 3rd party app / mod that can be used to easily manage the movie collection for xbmc but i cannot seem to find it now. Does anyone know what this program is called/ where I can get it/ a similar tool that can be used to easily manage the movie data base?

2.

Allot of the movies i have are split into two parts or CD’s in these cases XBMC seems to scrape it twice and create a double entry is there any way to avoid this ?

Thanks in advance,


Sov-

1. Ember Media Manager - http://www.embermm.com/

2. Your file naming convention for multipart movies isn't meeting Xbmc's default criteria.

If you can understand regexp, you can add your own:

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Hey thanks for the help, Embermm is exactly what i was looking for, however i am having toruble downloading it from the website, when ever i run their installer i get as far as the "Downloading Version List" then i get an error message saying that the "Ember Download Site is Not Available, please try again later"

Then i tried downloading the beta versions and i cant seeem to get them to reterive any thing from the scrapers i just get no matches found, so not sure if the problem is server side or on my PC i have allowed both the instaler the the beta thoutgh my firewall and i am definatly connected to the internet. Any ideas what could be wrong ?
