Hi.
It's done! Today I was able to complete a full workflow with Media-Buddy V2 for the first time without constantly having to type in the CLI. The GUI and the serial wizard are now fully functional.
The settings you make here will be applied. Everything you've configured will be saved so it's available the next time you start the program. Then simply click "Let's go," just like in the "old" Media Buddy, and the magic begins:
Now, the videos in the input folder are processed according to the specific needs of each video. This means they are either re-encoded or remuxed, the audio is handled as configured, the track selection for audio and subtitles is taken into account, and after all videos have been processed, the scraper is called, the necessary fanart is loaded, the .nfo file is generated, the files are renamed, and the season folders are created if needed. Finally, the Matroska tags are set, provided the final file is indeed an .mkv file. It's the same tried-and-tested process as in version 1. A dialog box then appears:
The dialog will close automatically after a few seconds, unless you close it yourself beforehand.
Before I implement post-processing, I'll first work on the other assistants. The foundation is now in place and only needs minor adjustments for music videos and feature films. However, the automatic generation of fan art for "other" videos, a unique feature of Media-Buddy, will be significantly more complicated to implement, as there's currently nothing available for that.
In any case, I can now use the new version in everyday life and test it extensively.
