IMDB IBN People Downloader V2

With the changes to Emby, not creating empty People named folders anymore, this plugin has been depreciated.  It does work for the folders that contain metadata and no images, if a online image exits.

I am totally lost,

Are U saying the path should be as below without people?

And what do you mean by depreciated?

 

The essence of buying this app is to search are download missing people where emby failed to, and the process is tedious through manual download

The plugin is looking for empty people folders to get images for.  Since Emby no longer creates empty folders during its scans there is nothing for this plugin to attempt to download.

the config.ini contains your licence key so as long as you have extracted the exe and dont move it, it should refer to the same ini and work fine. 

 

 

if you can't pick the path via the folder selector dialog, just edit the config.ini section below or create it.

 

[iBNDIR]

key=C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\

 

Hi This Apps is awesome, found about 10k missing actors picture, most appreciated.

 

Cheers  :)

Hey Radeon,

 

In light of Happy2Play's 2 posts below...

 

With the changes to Emby, not creating empty People named folders anymore, this plugin has been depreciated.  It does work for the folders that contain metadata and no images, if a online image exits.

 

The plugin is looking for empty people folders to get images for.  Since Emby no longer creates empty folders during its scans there is nothing for this plugin to attempt to download.

 

...will your app do anything for my collection?

 

My Emby setup was done from scratch only just recently, so there are no legacy folders and/or local references to ye olde MediaBrowser.

 

Does your app perchance simply auto download all IBN people or have toggle options to download specific IBN people types? i.e. only actors -or- only actors and directors -or- some other combination, etc.

 

Thanks,

Dodgy Bob.

Hey @@Dodgy Bob,

 

I'm not really sure how it's Happy2Plays place to use the words depreciated on an app he hasn't had nor has any involvement in writing. It's not in the official emby catalog and he doesn't have any direct involvement in my projects to pass such comments. I can't speak for others but I just checked my people directory and I'm still getting the blank folders generated and my app is the only thing filling them with images.

 

If emby has or does stop generating the empty folders then I can move to other methods to get them anyway.  

 

At the moment, the app literally scans your Metadata\People directory for folders missing images and uses that folder name (the name of the person) to go get one if available from imdb so it doesn't know what "type" it's looking for.

 

I hope that helps! :-)

No offense intended but as a paid customer not sure how this can be different across the board but none of my three servers generate empty people folders, folder are only created if there is metadata or images.  So if I have no empty folders how can I get images for missing actors?

 

Here is a specific example no folder created for "Stan Roth" so no image can be created, if I create or if folder is created with metadata then IMDB IBN People Downloader can pull image.

Ahhh, I see what @@Happy2Play is saying now @@radeon...

 

I just went and had a look at my directory structure and this is all I've got:

 

 56ceef257275a_Untitled.png

 

That's it completely expanded out   :(

 

My install of Emby Server on Windows is not that old - like, maybe 3 to 6 months - and thus its not an upgrade from MediaBrowser either (if that has anything to do with anything!).

I guess that explains why when I first fired up the app, it ran for a total of 10secs and then closed (see log below)!

Thing is though, if I pop into the web client and bring up a movie, I do have some people images already loaded - from somewhere?

Is it likely that a new path to the, or an alternate, ImagesByName directory needs to be set in your app now for newer versions of Emby?

 

Kind regards,

Dodgy Bob.

Ah ha!

 

Yeah @@ebr, after the ImagesByName folder, it goes "localization" folder, then "logs" folder, then the "metadata" folder and as you pointed out @@Happy2Play, I changed the config file to point to this location and off it went:

2016-02-26 06:14:33 : 1200 Folders Checked for no image. 1202 found so far

So we'll see how that goes.

 

I didn't even think to go looking for the folder and/or having to change a config file, let alone looking for a post where someone else has already had the same issue, sorry, my bad! I was just thinking follow the app's doco and with the info from these last couple of posts between @@Happy2Play and @@radeon and I, thought, oh ok, so perhaps something is a little out of whack. Sorry again.

 

OK, well, the app is running and finding the folders and grabbing images now, so yeah, we'll see what we end up with:

Thanks @@ebr and @@Happy2Play - perhaps the doco for the app could be / should be updated to tell people to point to this location if the other does not work?

Well, for those of us having a blonde moment and being stuck and unable to move on from the already set directions!  :P

 

Regards,

Dodgy Bob.

Need a little advice setting this up. Had it working on my old server, but now I have  a QNAP with the QNAP version of Emby installed.

According to 'paths' in Emby. my people folder is in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Emby/Emby/ProgramData-Server/metadata (default location).

I tried this, and also /QNAP/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Emby/Emby/ProgramData-Server/metadata, but it says 0 directories checked in both cases.

 

The downloader is on a laptop, connected wireless to the server

 

Can anyone advise me on the correct location I should be using?

Many thanks

Hi @radeon - I am getting the error stating my Activation Limit has been reached. I haven't even used the application in 5 months and was keen to update. Could you reset the limit or whatever is required?

 

I have sent the key to the designated email address.

 

Thanks in advance, Tanamur

I couldn't honestly say. You need to be in the directory above the People directory and as long as that people directory is generate the folders like in windows then you should be fine.

 

Sorry i can't be of much help, i only use emby on windows and the tool works fine for me. I tend to run it weekly and it still picks up new images. Sorry buddy.
