Well that did the trick, to let AMC Updater create an XML file by itselfs!i think that might be a very good hint for firsttime users!!
I'll make sure it's in the documentation for the next release!

Thanks. Apologies for assuming that you were also the author of the grabber. I had a look at the XML file, but couldn't makes heads or tails out of it.

Thanks a lot i didnt know about the last beta
Ok i just tried it and i love it!. I have a feature request about posters. Currently you only do a web search. Could you add a lookup for folder.jpg ? If you find one use it if not, use the script lookup feature. May be you could even add am option to save the poster as folder .jpg
What do you think?
Hi Carmenm,
Have a play with the attached - this should now support folder.jpg for cover art. The logic works like this:
For an Import run (using the Interactive tab):
If there is a file named folder.jpg in the folder, then link to that. Discard the downloaded image (if any)
If the file is not already there, save the newly downloaded image (if any) as folder.jpg and link to that.
For a Manual Update run:
Overwrite any existing folder.jpg with the new one.
Let me know what you think, and please make a backup first
Cheers,
Orion.
p.s. Please note - the attached is just the AMCUpdater.exe - you'll need to put this in a folder with the rest of the program files from a full AMCUpdater install.

A new feature request of your spanish fan
Would be nice if the program looked for available subtitles in the movies folder and filled with that information the subtitles field
example, we have:
300.avi 300.es.srt (spanish) 300.en.srt (english)
then the subtitles field could be: en,es
What do you think about this??

Hi Number 1 Spanish Fan
Yeah, I have considered searching for external subtitle files. My problem so far has been finding how to properly detect the language. There seem to be quite a few different standards for subtitles, including having the subtitle files stored in a .rar archive. That makes it tricky. In my own collection I have .sub, .srt and .idx files!
I'll look into it when I have time, although it won't be as quick and easy as the folder.jpg was.
Cheers,
Orion.
i have a question about the group feature.
The problem i see is that it interferes with the multi-disc feature. My multi-disc movies are also seen as a group and so the original title is changed consequently.
Would it be possible for the importer to see that all the file in this dir are the multi-disc of the same movie and so doesnt create a group?
My other question is if i have that dir structure:
GroupMovie/Movie1/movie1.avi
groupMovie/Movie2/movie2.avi
Will they be seen as a group "groupMovie" of Movie1 and Movie2?

I'll look into it - hopefully this afternoon.
Hi arryo,
I just tested with that filename, and added the following to the 'strip characters' list...
.
-
720p
BluRay
DTS
x264
ESiR
And that came up with 'A Few Good Men 1992' - which is then sent to the Internet lookup grabber. If you have 'File Name + Internet Lookup' selected then this should be good enough to get an online match, and the title will then be corrected with the value from the Internet.
You will probably find it difficult to strip out the year as well, since some films have numbers in the title. To strip out a four-digit number you would use this RegEx - [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] - but do be careful!
Cheers,
Orion.

Hi Carmenm,
I've fixed the issue with multi-part files being detected as a group - that wasn't too difficult. Multiple files in one folder will now only be considered 'a group' if they are not also multi-part files, as defined by the RegEx expression on the Options tab.
Your second question is more complicated. Are all of your grouped movies stored in that format? The way I see the logic, there's no way to determine which folder level is the Group Name, unless I make it an option that Group Names will be the 1st level parent, 2nd level parent, and so on. That should be possible to add, but will only work if all of your movies are grouped in the same way.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Orion.
