Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

<aspect> is consistently blank for me (for all movie types; .mkv, avi...) if scraping a new movie or re-scraping. I think I saw it populate a few times but only after I had created the fileinfo with Ember and then used MC to overwrite it. Please see example below which I have just scrapped.
As you can see scantype is also incorrect (never been blank) but cannot work out for the life of me where it is getting this number from (it is different for different movies). Perhaps it is something specific to my build, am running Win7 x64 (RTM). I am logged in as Supervisor, I have tried scraping from 3 different PC`s but unfortunatley all run Win7 x64 and do give the same results.

I do not have any movies with multiple parts, they are all single files.

Thanks again for all your effort...

Mark.

Using 3.148 clean unRar from your file.

MediaInfo.dll version 1.7.7.6

After I posted also realised it is probably not my build as Ember pulls the info without issue.

Thanks.

I've just noticed that the I am using medianfo.dll 0.7.20.0 to develop MC, but the build I am distributing is build 0.7.7.6

Maybe that is the problem

Try this build 0.7.20.0

OK - I can verify that this is the problem, replacing the mediainfo.dll with the one linked above fixed the problem with aspect and scantype.

The blank tags are removed from the next build.

Yup, that worked!

Many Thanks!

All that effort for a simple mistake on my part of not updating the mediainfo library.

I need to spend a bit more time when creating the builds for people to download.

Lesson well learnt

At least we got to the bottom of it.

I must admit I am pretty surprised there were no more posts on this from other users as at least for me the flags are a pretty important part of the skins now.

Thanks again for your time!

A huge thanks for all the hard work on fixing media tags and removing the empty media tags from movie .nfo's if they aren't scraped. It's much appreciated.

I just noticed though that empty media tags are still included in TV episode .nfo's. Is there any way these can get the same treatment as the movies and be removed completely if media tag info isn't set to be scraped? ( I looked through the preferences and didn't even see an option for TV media tags, so obviously this would needed to be added first... )

Thanks!
