goibe 0 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Hello! and thanks for this great plugin. I have this in the xml files, because I put it manually: <MediaInfo> <Video> <Codec>AVC</Codec> <Width>1280</Width> <Height>688</Height> <AspectRatio>1.85:1</AspectRatio> <Duration>79</Duration> <BitRate>3072000</BitRate> <FrameRate>23.976</FrameRate> <ScanType>Progressive</ScanType> <Language> </Language> </Video> <Audio> <Codec>AAC</Codec> <Channels>2</Channels> <BitRate>139600</BitRate> <Language>spa</Language> </Audio> </MediaInfo> but this in the nfo: <streamdetails> <video> <codec>h264</codec> <micodec>h264</micodec> <bitrate>3203209</bitrate> <width>1280</width> <height>688</height> <aspect>1.85:1</aspect> <aspectratio>1.85:1</aspectratio> <framerate>23.97602</framerate> <scantype>progressive</scantype> <default>True</default> <forced>False</forced> <duration>79</duration> <durationinseconds>4715</durationinseconds> </video> <audio> <codec>aac</codec> <micodec>aac</micodec> <bitrate>3203209</bitrate> <language>spa</language> <scantype>progressive</scantype> <channels>2</channels> <samplingrate>48000</samplingrate> <default>True</default> <forced>False</forced> </audio> </streamdetails> I assume because It takes directly from mediainfo, as you see is not accurate for acc audio mkv files (mediaInfo bug I think), and If I change it manually is not keeping after metadata refresh. Is there any way to keep this information after refresh? Thanks. Edited April 1, 2014 by goibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztrust 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hey Luke. I would Like to one day switch over to this as my main media manager. and so I would like to help complete it and have done alot of testing on movies tvshows and music. and I´m affraid to say at this point it is not really useable if you want any control over your metadata. But I love where this could go I have a bug report List if you would like to hear what I have found plz let me know. I am writing this so not to fill up this thread with what could be consieved as complaits. Ztrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 What does that mean? We had a pretty good size group of people test this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztrust 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) ok With Regard to music here is what I found All my music is on my D Drive in Music / Artist / Album/ Disc 1/ song Disc 2 song Here is what I found. 1. lock data dont work If I change data, scroll down lock plot and title and click both save buttons again at next manuall refresh all data is overwritten by the scraper 2. If I manually change data in the nfo´s that is generated and change locked status to true nfo is overwritten and status set to false at first manual refresh. 3. If an artist have a . Period it its name the name is stopped and is impossible to change so "P. Diddy becomes P" "L.O.C becomes L.O" tried to change it both in the nfo and in the server but couldent. 4. If an album has multi disc artist name becomes album name artist album (The light)/ disc1 disc 2 artist.nfo (artist name becomes The light but bio is correct) folder.jpg nfo scraped with xbmc gives artist Discography with Mbs I get a list of folders in artist directory. ok That was all I can remember for now Edited April 2, 2014 by ztrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well #2 is because we don't read nfo's at this time, so all changes are one way. the others can be worked through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztrust 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 well that maskes sense. I did some xbmc testing and exported my music library and it seem xbmc exports artist with multi cd to album folder too ? but artiist is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hundreds of really old movies where no german and only few english metadata are availlable via the online scrapers, so MB isn't really usefull for me right now...

I just wanted to give this a +1, this feature would enable me to finally make the switch from Metabrowser to MediaBrowser for my XBMC metadata, which I am quite enthusiastic to do. Another feature that would be fantastic would be the ability either natively, or via plugin, save actor images to the '.actors' folder within the series folder itself.

NNate 10 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I posted this in another thread too, but wanted to post something here to see if any of you have a workaround. I added path substitution in MediaBrowser Server to get artwork and actor thumbnails working properly in XBMC. It seems that this has messed up playing through MediaBrowser. All my libraries are inputted as UNC paths: \\server\folder. I added path substitution to map \\server to smb://server. My nfo files are being created appropriately. Everything works great in OpenElec. The issue is that when I go to play a file in MediaBrowser Classic, it wants to open smb://server/... instead of \\server\... and it cannot find the file. So, instead of opening the file directly, it tries to stream... Any ideas or another approach I should take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 xbmc supports unc, right? can't you just remove the path substitution completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNate 10 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 xbmc supports unc, right? can't you just remove the path substitution completely? I could be wrong, I don't think it works in OpenElec because it's running over Linux. I remember I had to get the path substitution in place for it to properly understand my actor thumbnails.

I remember I had to get the path substitution in place for it to properly understand my actor thumbnails. You're right, in OE, it needs to use SMB format... but this with NFO files, XBMC doesn't care about XML files though. @@Luke does it also do the path substitution in the MB XML files?

Luke 37151 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 there's no paths in mb xml. the plugin used to have separate path substitution settings. i will have to restore that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NNate 10 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Sorry to bump this again, but has there been any progress on the separate path substitution issue? Perhaps in a beta release of the plugin or something? I haven't been able to use MB3 for my viewing due to this issue and I miss it Maybe the fix is out there and I just don't know about it.
