Hello,

First off let me say this is a great piece of software, thank you for creating this. With that being said I have a few suggestions I'd like to make.

  1. Remember window size. I tend to extend the window size each time I open the program and it woulds be nice if the previous size was remembered to avoid having to do this each time.
  2. Separate folder for fan art/poster and .nfo files. Just like with actors, it would be nice if all the fan art/posters got stored in a separate folder and the .nfo files got stored in their own separate folder.
  3. Genre and Actors sorting Right now the program just stores the actors and genre for the video. It would be cool if we could select the actor and have it display any videos with them in it or a certain genre and have it display videos with the same genre.

Hey DarkMask100,

  1. This seems reasonable and easy enough to add.
  2. What is your proposed folder structure for this? Right now, I wrote this program to be used with XBMC/Kodi and compatible software. For that software, there is usually one movie per folder with a nfo, movie file, fanart, and poster in that folder and maybe some optional actor thumbs and extrafanart. What you're describing sounds like something that doesn't conform to the Kodi standard to read in the metadata. Are you just trying to keep a local copy of all the fanart/posters?
  3. Genre and Actors sorting would require a fairly extensive addition to add in local library support, which is sort of outside the scope of this project, at least for now given my level of free time. If someone else wants to write that in, they can go crazy though :). I'm going to suggest some other software that you can import the files from this program into to accomplish what you're trying to do (and more!) as they are what I use myself. Try either Kodi (if using on a Home theater PC), or Media Companion (what I use on my desktop PC).

Here are the links: Media Companion: https://mediacompanion.codeplex.com/ Kodi: http://kodi.tv

Hello,

Thanks for the program suggestions, I'll check them out.

In response to folder structure I was thinking a very basic way of just having all the fanart/posters kept in a separate folder and the .nfo files kept in a separate folder. The same way the actor images are kept in their own separate folder.

Tried both, Media Companion definitely works better for me, thanks for the suggestion.

I am having a problem that maybe you can help with. Any idea why Media Companion wont let me sort by actor? Even if the actress has multiple videos it only ever shows a 1 by her name will not sort by actor to show even that one video.

DoctorD1501 commented 9 years ago

I honestly have no idea why that isn't working for you. I'm using an older version of Media Companion 3.6.1.2 and it works fine for actor filtering. You should probably try looking for help on the media companion site as I'm not the author of that program and don't know what could be wrong.

DarkMask100 commented 9 years ago

Didn't find anything on their site about it so made a new question, hopefully they can help. Thanks for reading my thread!

Hello Again,

So I went back to see if I can tackle this issue and noticed it only happens with JAV videos. I'm assuming it has something to do with how the nfo files are setup. Since yours work would you mind posting a couple nfo files so I can see if there's a difference and why it works for you and not me?

Thank You.

Hi doctor

do you still use media companion? they still didn't fixed the actor filtering, also you cannot search multiple generes with "OR" I have tried media companion, tinimediamanager, ember media manager, and some others I can't remember the name but none of them seems to work better than media companion.

there are any other media manager compantible with your program file generation working better than the ones I already tried?

Well of course there's Kodi, which is what I mainly use. Plex can also import Kodi metadata, though it's a bit of work to set that up.
