[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1291576, member: 109222"] Hi. There is a new version of Media-Buddy, 1.2.0.9. New features are above all the uncomplicated support for HDR10 and DolbyVision encoded videos. These are now fully transparently supported. You don't have to worry about anything else. However, the feature was only tested with Intel Quick Sync because I don't have Nvidia or AMD graphics available. However, the slow but high-quality coding via software encoder definitely works. If there are problems with the AMD or Nvidia hardware coding, please let me know, thank you. And the TVDB is back as a data source for series. Since we thankfully received a free API key for our project, we can again use TVDB as a data source for series without restrictions. [ATTACH type="full" alt="TVDB_2.jpg"]211273[/ATTACH] You can now choose which data source (TVDB or TMDB) should be preferred. If nothing is found for the preferred source, the other source is used as a fallback. This is how you get the highest possible hit rate. Also, metadata for audio is working again. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Audio_2.jpg"]211272[/ATTACH] After TheAudioDB blocked the API completely if you didn't pay a horrendous sum for an API key every month, it hadn't worked for a while. Now that has been switched to Musicbrainz. Unfortunately, Musicbrainz doesn't have biographies, genres and the like in the API. But with the alternative Discogs you don't get that in the API either. On the other hand, the hit rate when searching with the artist's name is significantly worse. As a small compensation, the fanart from fanart.tv is now loaded, wherever particularly high-quality graphics are available. There is also a button that takes you directly to the relevant Wikipedia article (if available), from which you can easily copy and paste the artist's biography and paste it into artist.nfo. A link to Discogs is also available. In the future there will also be a possibility to provide an artist's albums with additional graphics. However, this is currently not functional, which is why the corresponding button is still deactivated Since it is easily possible to use fanart.tv after the preparatory work has been carried out, there will later also be the possibility for series, feature films and music not only to use locally stored fanart as an exchange for the existing graphics, but also a selection (with a preview, of course ) of the corresponding alternatives on fanart.tv, which you can then download and integrate directly. You can still search for suitable graphics via Google, for example, and download them in order to use them. But you can also get the corresponding graphics from fanart.tv without having to search. And for music, just like for series (TVDB or TMDB), there will be a possibility to pass this to the search algorithm by means of an empty text file containing the Musicbrainz ID of the artist, whereby the hit rate is 100%. For films, this ID (TMDB or IMDB) is passed in the file name. The download is available wherever you can find it. See first post here. And now have fun. [/QUOTE]
