New Version 2.131

Version 2.131

Bugfix - with multi volume rar files, when checking non XBMC nfo files for IMDB ID would look for file named "moviename.part001.nfo" instead of "moviename.nfo"
Bugfix - Stacking preferences were ignored when using the fanart or poster browser. (Fanart or Posters that already exist using the convention not selected will be renamed to avoid the possibility of multiple fanarts and/or posters for the same movie)

The delete function has been improved to be more intuitive. When delete is selected now the dialogue now has all items unchecked, you then check the items you wish to delete. FYI there is also a 2nd confirmation dialogue after this that lists the files you have selected and asks if you wish to delete them.

I've changed the way the IMDB scraper works for movies that don't contain a year, it should be more accurate now. I've listed all the filenames in my testfolder below and all returned the corect movie. Names that include the release year (ie "moviename (xxxx),avi") are still the most accurate way to scrape and sometimes the only way.

My test List of dummy files that people have had issues with at some point.

All the movies below returned 100% accurate IMDB IDs. "Bug" returned the wrong poster, "Wall-E" had the correct poster, but not from IMPAwards, all movies had the correct fanart if it was available.

wow, impressive updates every few days!

thankyou so much for maintaining this program... i know perhaps with not so many comments it's hard to gauge how much interest there is, but a LOT of people use this and love it!

so from me, as well as everyone else that doesn't comment, thankyou

Thanks for that, but believe it or not, I have found that no or few posts are actually a good thing. It usually means that things are working pretty much as they should be.

A lot of people will only post if they have a problem.

Also depends on how you use Media Companion. A lot of the updates have been on the movie side. Myself, and no doubt others, use it for tv. So far it works perfectly for my needs.
