New Release Media Companion gen2 3.122

New version 3.122

The TV Show cache file has been changed since 3.102 and it will not work with the new build, use the "Rebuild TV Shows" to fix the issue

So whats changed:
TV Section

Most bugs have been fixed
TV Show Fanart browser now enabled
TV Shows can be rescraped and edited
TV episodes can be played using Media Player or other according to options
TV Shows can be Opened in Browser at IMDB or TVDB
Only seasons that have episodes are listed in the treeview
TV episodes are now added to the tree realtime as they are scraped
Adding or removing TV folders causes an auto rebuild

Other

Media tags should now be imported into XBMC due to the addition of a <streamdetails> tag in both movies and tv episodes.
The UI has changed slightly with the toolstrip now completely removed, and empty menu's have been removed.
Maximised state is now remebered
Multiple instances of MC are no longer permitted
For new users who start the program for the first time, instead of crashing when selecting various options the user will be prompted to go to the preferences and add folders
Also for new users I've added a very basic quickstart guide (If anyone feels they can improve on this then feel free)
Media tags stored in old nfo's (Without the streamdetails tag), are no longer recognised, the result of this was that I discovered that the scrape media tags in the batch wizard did not work, this has been fixed.

Whats next

Adding a browser for TV Show posters, season posters, and episode screenshot capability.

Download Version 3.122

Just overwrite the previous version, ( the config will remain compatible only if you are upgrading from version 3.xxx).

Not yet, although probably for the next one.

I just concentrated on getting the 2 main regex working properly

Hi

Does this fix the following bugs:
1. seasons greater than 10 bug
2 scene files with x264 and 2hd parsed as multi episodes?

Keep up the good work, I was using MIP for a while because MC was not working for TV shows, it sure feels great to be back with MC.

Definitely the BEST, now I'm just missing the right regex for my naming convention and all will be perfect Smile

1) Seasons greater than 10 do work, I tested with the simpsons and they scraped fine all the way to season 23.

2)Think there will still be an issue with these, not sure how 2hd is being added since the regex looks for numbers preceded by "x" or "e", addressing this is a very high priority, there will be another build in just a day or two.

Regex customization will be functioning from the next build.

Hi,

Stiil a great program and thnx, but (there always is Smile

) since this version I get duplicate movies.

moviename_cd1.avi
moviename_cd2.avi

where previously written in moviename.nfo
now MC also makes an moviename_cd1.nfo and all stacked movies are displayed twice.

Smile

Noted another thing.

When clicking "Search for new movies" the fanart tab becomes visible. When clicking "Cancel.." the same thing happens.

Media Companion has never saved the nfo like that, the nfo has always kept the cd1, using this convention stops MC from playing back files, or gaining Media tags after they have been initially scraped (It uses moviename.nfo to find moviename.avi (or other extension)). MC can however read them and even edit them, as it can for movie.nfo files.

Only fanart, and posters can be saved using the stacked naming convention, and I only allowed that because of a bug in an old version of XBMC that wouldnt see fanarts stored any other way.

I'll add a check for this in the next build, later today to stop the multiple nfo's being created, but If you are going to be using MC regularly then I would recomend you delete these or rename them to MCs best supported convention (moviename cd1.nfo)

Thanks for the new build - cool.

Is it possible to disable "multiple" episodes? - It scrapes every episode as multiple, so they show up twice in the TV list

Can you give me an example of a filename where this happens.
