Whenn i say no actors i mean no actors in the nfo/Media Companion not from the website it scapes from
-
In short it will update the actor fields even if they aren't empty in the nfo or on media companion when the update empty fields should only update the episodes that have no actors in the episode.

Rescrape Wizard glitch if check update empty fields for episode actors
-
When you do the rescrape wizard and click update only update empty fields it will update all the fields for tbhe actors for all the episodes even if you manually have edited the nfo it will still update the nfo using the actor source you selected. For example if you scrape an episode and manually change the actors that were scraped iin the nfo and then use update wizard if you add the imdbid to a differnt episode and then use the rescrape wizard it will overwrite what you manually chagned and replace...

I run Windows 10 with my media mounted from a NAS as windows share on z:\ (same config.xml as in my other ticket produce this error to). I usually have no problems with date. Windows can see all 3 of creation time, modified time, and access time. And all 3 have valid values. I have ran rsync on the files and it has no problem detecting dates. I have also been coding some own small help script/tools in Java using built in Files.getLastModifiedTime and Files.setLastModifiedTime and they also work on...

Sure, created a new test setup with only two movies. Attaching current config.xml. Still the same result, fanart.tv goes to root of the drive where MC is running from. I have not tried to run MC from z:\ were i have my media. If you think it could make a difference i could try it also. Also i don't run it from c:\ don't know if that makes a difference since i don't know if MC would have access to root of drive then. Also it happens every time with my current config, i can right click and "delete...

Rob posted a comment on ticket #492
Maybe attach your configuration.xml so I can test with your settings.
-
yep, I'm working on a upgrade myself. old gen 4 is at present takes too long, but can't afford latest cpu/gluten i would dream of. lol 165 series isn't that heavy, whats the episode count?
-
I was gonna test a bit tonight but ended up doing something else with some videos... replacing a bunch with better copies and having to shrink a bunch of stuff is taking a long time. I need a PC upgrade. :D 5:30am here though and not yet gone to bed so... no testing tonight. 165 TV series 864 Movies

Movie - Set Alt Poster default limit to 6.
-
Run out of time to look into this tonight, possible be able to on the weekend. Just curious, how many series do you have? There is a chance, that MC pointers are still on the last series when you run a rescrape wizard on another series, specially if the Tally of series and episodes is high.
-
This is working correctly for me, but it could be an OS issue, as MC gets the Date added from the video files last date written. "Rebuild Movie nfo files", doesn't fix the date added, not sure why your getting a time in this. Sounds like an OS issue, or permission issue. Can you advise the location of extracted Media Companion files please.
-
Can you attach your config.xml file so I am using the same settings as you are. I just tested, and fanart images are going into the movie folder, for me. So if I can test with your exact setup, should be easier to duplicate.
-
Fix in place for the next release.

OK, in Alternative Poster browser. Yes, I can make that default to 6.

Luke Deez posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Thank you, that was the issue! Sorry, what I meant about the Poster browser search is if there is a way to automatically set a default value in the 'Maximum number of images to be shown on each page" input. Right now, the input pops up empty and if you don't fill it in it defaults to 6. Is there a way to have the input already defaulted to 6, so the 'Invalid maximum thumb value setting default to 6" error doesn't pop up. Not a major issue but it would just save me 2 mouse clicks.
-
I can add that the "Rebuild Movie nfo files" also put the wrong date in, it puts the current time into <dateadded></dateadded> instead of the correct added time based on the movie file.
-
Fix 'Date-Added' puts 1601-01-01 01:00:00 into all nfos

Happens every time for me just tested with a 20mb clip named it "Matrix (1999).mp4" in folder "Matrix (1999)". 8 Images ended up in the root of the drive representing the 8 checkboxes in fanart.tv art selection. And 3 files in Matrix folder (movie.nfo, poster.jpg, fanart.jpg)
-
Option is added to Preferences -> Actors Tab. You can select to Not save Guest Actor Image for Episodes. Guest actors will still be listed in the nfo for the episode.

Movie - Fix Premier date if IMDb is scraper. TV - add option in Actors Preference tab, do not save guest actor image.

How about the rescrape issue where it scrapes the previous show scraped? Do I have to delete the cache folder each time? Can you open a ticket, describe steps to reproduce.
-
Sounds good... How about the rescrape issue where it scrapes the previous show scraped? Do I have to delete the cache folder each time? Not often it happens. Started because I did a rescrape of all series for series status, and series names... because TMDB has the habit of changing stuff. As a result, episodes that were fine before wouldn't scrape now for various reasons... had to fix some, and revert to TVDB for others. Everything seems fine now, but also seemed fine 6 months ago. :D Not a Media...

Closing ticket.
-
So the limits set in the Actors tab of Preferences is only for the limit of Series Actors. I can add an option to disable downloading of episode actor images, under the Series Actor limit in Actor Tab.
-
I have found that happens to me sometimes also, but I have not been able to reproduce every time so has been difficult to find and fix.
-
TMDb scraper is working with Premier, but fails for IMDb scraper. You are using IMDb scraper? I'll look into fixing that either way. As for Poster browser search, I am not sure what your meaning.
-
Hey... ya, like when I do the rescrape wizard, I can choose actors from TV Series or Episodes. When I scrape a series, I get both, and again, some series like Cheers, have over 400 image files. So, I delete the .actors folder, and rescrape wizard the series selecting TV Series Actors only, then I get a list under 25. In preferences, I have (under Actors tab) the max number for TV and Movies set to 25. Which works when adding the series... but when you scrape the episodes, that 25 max is ignored and...

Hello, I am running the latest version and the premiered date does not scrape. I noticed a few versions back that this has been addressed. Do I need to check a box somewhere in settings? I am not sure if this will fix my issue anyway, which is my plex server doesn't display 'Recently Released' movies in the newest order and I am hoping this will fix it. Also is there a way to preset the 'Poster Browser' search with the default count 6 ? Right now I have to manually select 'Okay' and accept the default...
-
Yes, a Refresh All on TV Series should clear that issue up. Seems MC Batch Rescrape may have been working with stale data.
-
OK, so your after an option to not scrape episode guest actors? Or not to download the episode guest actors images? I also think you have some issues with MC, specially if your rescraping Cheers, and MC is working on Solar Opposite. Specially since if you do a Refresh or empty caches, MC behaves itself. If I recall, you mention you have MC in your C: Drive, like C:\MC ? Which should be fine. But maybe you need to take ownership of this folder, as some issues may be caused by security issues. Definitely...
-
So, I have it set to 20 actors when scraping, but for TV series it scrapes a max of 20 for the show, then adds actors from each episode, which I don't want. CHEERS for example had like 410ish actor images. What I did in the past was wipe out all the jpgs in the actor folder, or just delete the actor folder. Right-click on the series and use Re-Scraper Wizard, and click actors under series. Then it will just scrape the series level not episode. Not doing that anymore. I rescraped the entire series...

That seems to have cleared it up! I now have the season and everything looks right! Thank you so very much for your help! I really appreciate it!

The option Don't duplicate series actors in episodes does just that. Series actors are Permanent actors even if they don't appear in the odd episode. Guest actors for episodes are specific to that episode, but are not permanently connected to the series. I don't see that the option Don't Duplicate is doing anything wrong. That you are getting different results depending on the Actor source, relates to how that site determines how to link the actors. IMDb will list series actors with every episode....

Checking your nfo, and it is using the correct ID inthe nfo, <uniqueid type="tvdb" default="true">76927</uniqueid> so not sure why your log is saying a different ID *----Using MC TVDB api V2 Scraper----* Using Settings: TVdbID: 340462 Maybe do a Refresh All, and try this series specifically.

I have the show on TVDB identified as you do, id 76927. I go to the tab for the TVDB, there is only one show available and that is the one with Judy Dench. Is there a way to input the correct TVDB id to make sure I am scraping the correct show?

Looking at your file, the Series ID isn't correct if your trying to scrape the series with Judy Dench Army officer Lionel Hardcastle and nurse Jean Pargeter Use the tab TV Show Selector, to make sure you've scraped the correct series.

Once agian, I'm back with hat in hand... I just finished ripping the BBC series 'As Time Goes By'. Unfortunately, I get the title of the show only in MC. I downloaded the most recent version of MC, just in case, and have the same issue that I do not get any of the episodes. I've tried everything I can think of, so now I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will show me the error of my ways. None of the episodes are showing up. Any help is gratefully appreciated!
-
After a computer restart and reopening MC. everything is as it should be. Thank you for your expertise!
-
Oops.. I got them back in and found I was missing a disc (3 episodes). I had duplicates, and was having trouble cleaning my file. So I deleted teh nfo files and went todo a rescrape. Now I cannot get anything but the overall series title. Do I need to go back in and delete a file somewhere in the MC files so it thinks I have a new TV Show? Some cache somewhere?
-
Jean-Michel, THANK YOU! I went withthe numbering system on the DVD's and that was my mistake. Thank you for taking time to point out my error! I really appreciate it! I will be more careful going forward! God Bless!

Totally understand. I thought this might be the case!

Hi Anthony Unfortunately as we are using WinForms in MC, and Dot net 4.0, we can't make MC dpi Aware. WinForms DPI became available in Dot Net 4.7, but Its not possible to upgrade the codebase from 4.0 to 4.7, due to the number of breakages because of the helper programs and code. Sorry, would love to assist, but not possible.
-
I updated my monitors recently to 4K monitors and am running Windows 10 at 3840x2160. This really made me notice that the fonts used in MC are not very sharp at these higher resolutions. Any chance of DPI awareness or support for high DPI resolutions being added? Obviously in no way super important for using MC, just a nice to have.
-
yep, I'll changed the naming of that button.
-
Yup that worked... though a bit confusing for save cropped, since well, nothing was cropped. Save changes? maybe?
-
Nope, sorry, you need to click a different button. On Movie Fanart tab, once Mirrored, the Save Changed button is enabled. On TV Fanart tab, once Mirrored, the Save Cropped button will appear. Use these buttons to save Mirrored image.
-
I'm an idiot, its only saving the selected fanart. Duh! I'll get a fix in place. Sorry.

Hey no problem. Now that you mentioned it, I simply unpacked the original folder and put it under C: I have now renamed to c:\mc and no more errors. Looks like spaces in the path make it crash.

Sorry for late reply. I have been testing with mc_com.exe -m Can't reproduce the issue. Can you advise location of your Media Companion folder?

Not required. Batch rescrape Wizard is for Batch rescraping. For a single episode, you can 1. Delete the episode nfo and rescrape it. 2. Right click the episode and select Rescrape Episode

Found out i can edit the episode actors in MediaElch not TVShow actors those I have to edit in Notepad++ since if I try editing tv show actors in a different scraper will say not found for the show if edit them that way.
-
Just wondering can you enable the Rescrape Wizard for episodes since not every episode needs to be rescraped every time you do the rescrape wizard and choose what you want to be rescraped for epiosdes since it assumes you want every episode rescraped which is not always the case.
-
Thanks anyways I guess i can just manually edit it using Notepad++ or MediaElch.

I had a quick look at this with My little Pony scraped all from TMDb. Multiple roles is being populated in the TV Show nfo, but unfortunately in MC, there is limited space, so one one role is being displayed. And due to the limited space, I am reluctant to have MC display all roles for against the actor. Movie actors have a larger textbox that TV actors. This can't be changed due to location and limited layout options. <actor> <actorid>0052718</actorid> <name>Andrew Francis</name> <role>Shining Armor...

One last tv example MLP: Friendship is Magic there are lot of actors who voiced multiple characters on that show.
-
Does same thing for episode actors on TMDB not just IMDB.
-
Thank you. I won't be able to look at this till tonight and am at work again. Will let you know.
-
An example show is The Real Ghostbusters. One of the actors is Frank Welker who on TMDB for show says voices Dr. Raymond Stantz / Slimer (voice). But it only shows Slimer (voice) on MC and if you scrape it fom IMDB for S01E04 Slimer comes Home. For same actor on that episode shows Dr. Raymond Stantz / Slimer / Mohawk Punk (voice). But it says on MC only roole was Slimer which is incorrect. I even checked nfo only shows single role for that actor.
-
Understand completely. Please give me the series title of this show so I can resolve.

Sorry meant if an actor player or voiced multiple characters not character played or voiced.

The count includes root folders, and any sub folders. So if the movie is in collection folder and then its own folder, the collection folder is counted as a scanned folder.
