After manually populating every field I could think of and deleting the ini file and reinstalling EMM, I still can't get EMM to take the IMDB link for the movie automatically. I have only ONE IMDB link, it is correct and I am NOT going to manually select each movie. Any ideas how to make this work correctly like it did in version 7? or is anyone interested in updating the version 7 scripts and I will keep using it? I have already imported over 4000 movies into a new database to try to get version 8 to work and IMHO it is a step back from version 7
I would have to agree with you. 7 appears to be more stable. The new features in 8 are ok but a good example would selecting the movies in 7 where you can see the cover photo and make sure you have the correct one considering there are enough titles that have been used a couple of times.
I created nfo files using 8 then created a new database and it didn't work. Didn't get the IMDB info.
I had the same problem as you with the links. It's a little to risky to say take if only one direct link. A good example that happened to me. I was searching Blade and it took Cutting Edge which I haven't figured out why.
Doesn't work. Scripts downloaded and processed. Information not there. Release dates and budget and IMDB Top 250 but the rest are not stored. You can watch the script say it's getting goofs and the rest but they are stored to the database like these are protected fields.
I will try later today. I am running this remotely as I am away from home and my timing isn't the best to start and stop EMM :-( As soon as I can stop the script engine from running (restarting EMM seems to be the only way to do it) I will see if I can get the updated version and try it. Thanks!
Downloaded the latest version of EMM and the updated IMDB script. Installed script and EMM and restarted EMM. Ran device scanner with the option checked to take IMDB link from nfo and it never populated any field that I could see? Of course when I ran the script it didn't take the first correct link so it couldn't automatically take it. on the web page I tried to copy in the link and in the first field under the web tab I pasted in the imdb link. I tried pasting it into the direct link field too but it doesn't retain that value for some reason. Regardless it still doesn't automatically take the first link and continue so I would have to select manually. In conclusion It does NOT copy in the IMDB link from the device scanner and it does NOT take the first link. So no improvement. Sorry
The Nfo file is named snitch.nfo and it is in a folder named Snitch. The only other thing in that folder is the movie Snitch.mkv and a shortcut to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0882977/ Inside the NFO file is only one line http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0882977/ Just thinking about this..the nfo file and a shortcut in that folder both point to the same link...is it possible that EMM can't understand that there are two links to the same internet location and then can't import it?
Mine is easy so won't need to send. I created the nfo file using EMM and IMDB basic info. Doesn't use the data. The format is the one created within the software.
EMM will not select the IMDB Link and continue
