New Release Media Companion gen2 3.125

New version 3.125

Changes

• Bugfix - various regex problems fixed that could cause multipart episode nfos including x264
  
• Bugfix - When an nfo was found using a stacked convention then a media search would create a new unstacked movie nfo and list both
  
• Bugfix - Search for new episodes opened the fanart tab
  
• Bugfix - TV fanart browser caused exception when no MOVIE is selected
  
• Bugfix - <fileinfo> & <streamdetails> wrong way around
  

Added

• Regex editor for tv episodes now works
  
• Basic rename facility has been included for tv shows, at the moment it will only do a single season at a time
  There are 6 templates
  TV Show Title - S01E01 - Episode Title.ext
  S01E01 - Episode Title.ext
  TV Show Title - 1x01 - Episode Title.ext
  1x01 - Episode Title.ext
  TV Show Title - 101 - Episode Title.ext
  101 - Episode Title.ext
  The option to do this is located in the context menu for the season listing and will rename the episodefilename.nfo, episodefilename.xxx (media file), episodefilename.tbn and episodefilename.rar for subtitles
  
• Regex support has been included for episodes using the convention 101, 102 etc. For multipart use 101x02x03 etc
  

Whats next

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

Keep the bug reports coming, I intend to try and get another build uploaded tomorrow.

Download Version 3.125

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

Thanks Billy I appreciate the efforts re the renaming option....works great!

I found a few minor issues...

1. If I select an episode & then select a different season from another show, the previous episode details are still shown....It seems like selecting a different Season from a different TV Show should be the same as selecting a different TV show except it should show the relavent season art.


2. If the episode name contains the ":" character, MC cannot rename it using that character. There is probably a listing somewhere of invalid characters so MC will have to account for those....
Example TV Show "Classic Albums" Season 4 Ep 1 "Def Lepard : Hysteria"
& Lost Season 2 Ep 21 "?"


Perhaps in the options section you can list the characters that need to be substituted, then users can change as they prefer...

3. Once a rename is done the current shown episode details are not refreshed (minor I know)

4. MC also crashes if the filename already exists...I had two episodes the same in a folder, but named differently, obviously when MC tried to rename them the first succeeded, but the second didn't. Theorectically I shouldn't have two of the same episode & in my case I deleted the one I didn't want, but MC still needs to handle this gracefully....

Cheers

1) Can't duplicate this, or I am misunderstanding you, When I check a season, if the episode or show I am looking at is from a different show then the tvshow.nfo for the new season is loaded.

2)Will fix for next build, for the moment I will probably just strip illegal chrs, although I will flesh this option out in the future.

3)Will fix for next build

4)Not 100% sure how to deal with this, I will probably just handle the exception.

There will be another build uploaded later today with these fixes.

Whenever I select an actor from the list I get the error below.
I *do* have "Enable Save Actor Actor Thumbs" disabled in Preferences -> Scraper -> General Scraper.
There is no 'Resources' sub-director in my MC folder which would account for the "\Resources\default_actor.jpg" not being found.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

Scratch that, That directory ande file is part of the Media Companion download,

When you extracted the archive you should have extracted that directory, and contents to the Media Companion folder.

It is best to extract the whole contents of the downloaded archive to the Media Companion folder, new additions are continuously been made, as well as dll libraries being updated.

Ok Billy, it doesn't seem to show unless you first "expand all" - thats what I did to go thru & rename all my TV shows...

& sorry my discription of the fault was not 100% correct either...

OK so expand all
Select last episode of say season 01
that episode details are shown in the right pane....

The select season 02, the episode details remain of the previous episode..



Also with regards to the renaming, how will you handle Lost Season 02 Ep 21 which has a full title of "?"



& I have found another issue, perhaps not MC fault... If I try to rescape "House" via TV Show Selector it seems to stall - It could be because when you do the same search on TVDB you get a large number of hits....

& one other.....also in the TV Show Selector, I can't seem to find a way to set download poster as default I keep having to change it from banner & I can't find a setting in the preferences...

Cheers & Thanks.

OK - see what you mean about the episode to series, it is doing what it's supposed to, not sure that from episode to season of the same show warrants the loading of the tvshow details.

As regards the naming, for such titles I will just omit the title, not sure how else to address it, I am open to suggestions.

regarding "House", there is an xml error in the tvdb that is stopping the xml list being parsed,
I've reported it on the tvdb forum http://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1946, not sure what else I can do about it.

The issue causing this seems to have been fixed by the good folks at TVDB.

Apologies. Looks like latest version of WinZip is doing some very funky stuff on my machine and didn't show the Resources folder in the archive when I extracted. Back to WinRAR... All good now
