manually write nfo files | Page 2

This is a great addition and opens up the possibility of using external editors. Since MP and XBMC are sister apps, it makes sense to allow reading NFO files. This will come in very handy. Good show.

I do have one oddness however. When I set XBMC to the top criteria the IMDB as 2nd I'm not getting any auto approvals except for the few that MP actually deems valid from XBMC Local (which are sparse). This is with auto approval set at Reckless. Nothing from [imdb.com] gets flagged as ok nor the many others that are sitting in the importer waiting to be approved from an unnamed 'possible match'.

Try this Scraper, works perfect on my NFO-files generated by Ember Media Manager r1102


In single-NFO-files the genre (not genres) is inside the movie node.

Code:

	<set name="rx_file_check">
	  <![CDATA[
		(?<movie><genre>)
	  ]]>
	</set>

it is NOT perfect, but in most cases it will work...

- Genre must be filled, otherwise scraper doesn't find a valid file.

- Runtime is not filled, because EMM writes "124 mins" or "2 hours 4 mins".
- Certification shows full text
- Cover must be "<movie>.tbn"
- Backdrop must be "<movie>-fanart.jpg"

Thanks. This works Much better. It's picking up about 98% and auto-matching on high.
I too am using EMM to Generate.
The ones it seems to 'miss' are ones with Alternate English translated titles vs. the Original ie. Cinema Paradiso vs Nuovo cinema Paradiso.

This is a huge time saver though, considering I've already spent the time

Actually, if I disable imdb all together and just use XMBC first and then Local, it seems to pick up all the translated titles properly from the .nfo
Even Better

Lack of Genre did bite me, but on the bright side, I was able to go set a Genre for those files, which is more useful in the end then having it set to none.
