File's titles

[Dimsok]

I always add to name's movies (languages of sounds) (languages of subs). For example "Terminator (ru+en) (spa+it).mkv". And with UseFilenames = No in config ini i can't make it scrobble. I've read that with that settings the title of movie gets from vlc window, but even when in that window there is only "Terminator" without any parenthesis, i can't get it scrobbled. Is there any solution?

[Dimsok]

Hm, i found out why. It cause i gave them the titles in mkvtoolnix. The mkvs which i cant scrobble doesn't have tags and in vlc windows have .mkv ext at the end. But if i tag them they can't scrobble. And what should i do, tag as title.mkv? The option "use filnemes=yes" doesn't work at all. Maybe is there a way to change a way how vlc player shows window's title?

I'll try to work asap on a fix for #66, I'll ask for confirmation for this bug after this.

[Dimsok]

Don't understand, what gives option "UseFilenames = Yes". Means, that if file's name, for example, "Terminator.avi", it should scrobble directly without imdb, opensubs etc? I did try to rename, but doesn't seem working.

Using VLC remote control, we have access to two distinct information: (1) - The file path (C:\path\to\my movie.mkv), and thus its file name (my movie.mkv) (2) - The name as determined by VLC (My Movie if we have My Movie as title tag, or if the title tag is empty, it's usually the file path/name

With the option UseFilenames = Yes, we ignore the name determined by VLC (2) and only consider the file name (1) to determine which movie/series you are looking at. We still use parsing after that to get the actual full information on what you are looking at, but our starting point is different in both cases.

If for instance you have a movie "My Super Movie.avi" that is tagged with "Another Movie Title" as title, if you use the option (2) (UseFilenames = No) you will search for a movie matching "Another Movie Title", but if you use option (1) (UseFilenames = Yes) you will search for a movie matching "My Super Movie". If you're used to watching movies that are wrongfully tagged, but that have right file names, you may want to set that option to Yes.

[Dimsok]

Is it possible to take names from tags, like last.fm, without net services? Mkv, mp4 and avi support it.

[XaF]

The name is not sufficient. Scrobbling needs an ID, and the most generic ID is the IMDB ID. That's the main reason for using net services.

Anyway tagged movies doesn't scrobble for me:

Ok, I see the problem here. However, out of curiosity, if you did not move the file since then, could you please execute the following:

import os
from urllib import unquote
fname = "file:///g:/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE/%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC%D1%8B/%D0%9D%D0%B0%20%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC/MKV/%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8/Die%20Hard%202%20%28Eng%29%20%28Ru%2BEng%2BFr%2BGer%2BPor%2BSpa%29.mkv"
print os.path.isfile(fname)
print os.path.isfile(unquote(fname))

And paste me the result ? That will help me insure that I'm fixing that correctly.
