    Whenever I try to scrape music videos that have additional information in the filename, the scrape fails with the following error: Unable to scrape body with refs

    All my music videos are organized using the following filename convention:
    Artist - Title (audio-source-standard)
    e.g.: 2 Unlimited - Jump For Joy (lpcm-retail-pal).vob

    The scrape works if I remove the bracket part from the filename. Would it be possible for Media Companion to ignore the information between the brackets? IIRC it used to work in an earlier version (talking years ago).

    So there are a few glitches I just found in the Music Video code that I need to fix, but the issue you are having should actually be work-able if you add
    (lpcm-retail-pal) to the Video Source list in Preferences -> Common Settings.
    But I need to fix the code for this to work properly, as I see one big bug that is stopping this from working as it should.

    I'll work on this over the weekend, hopefully get a release out soon.

    Thanks for your reply. Of course, "(lpcm-retail-pal)" was just an example. It would be a bit tedious to add all the variations to the source list.

    Would it be possible to just ignore additional information? e.g. anything between brackets.

    Anyway, nice to hear you will try to fix things in the MV section!

    Are you still working on implementing MV fixes? I noticed you released an update recently, but it does not seem to contain changes related to MV handling.

    If you need any more information on the issue reported, let me know. Thanks!

    Sorry, got side-tracked with IMDb issues, and yes, forgot all about this issue.

    Will work on this the coming week.
