cached nfo ..

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi nul
New idea
Cached nfo, and maybe poster and fanart..
Propose:
Be able to organized your movies even when you dont have acces to your media
ie, on vacantion, or at work with nothing to do but EMM installed on laptop ;)
Implementation:
Save nfo (poster and fanart maybe) to cached directory .. 
Read from there if:
Offline detected.. or by options try to read always first from cache and
write update later)

i have done some investigation.. think is not to hard.. but little
dangerous because can break all EMM ;)

Will sen diff of what i have dome for test proposes

Let it to your consideration!

BTW... tell me to stop if need ;) sometimes I forget to stop ... lol

BTW this kinda sovle also the Issue 118 ... lol

I think this and 118 are completely different requests... 118 would involve 
keeping
the downloaded posters and fanart in the Temp folder until the program is 
closed.
When you try to scrape the images again, it checks for their existence in the 
Temp
folder before attempting to download them.

I'll have to look this over later... trying to get all the little things 
finalized
for the next release tonight.

What, exactly, are you trying to do here?:

SQLNewcommand.CommandText = String.Concat("SELECT id
FROM movies WHERE path LIKE """, sPath.Substring(0, sPath.Length -
sPath.LastIndexOf(",")), "%"";")

Can't figure that one out. Why is there a comma? Also, you should just be able 
to use
WHERE path = sPath because get nfopath will check if the nfo exists.... if it
doesn't, pass the full movie path.

Need do a little bit of tweaking to it.... something like checking if the source
exists. If not automatically switch to "Offline Mode". Then for 
LoadMovieFromNfo add
an offline mode check. If it and UseNfoCache is enabled then try to get the 
cached
nfo. If offline mode is not enabled, process the nfo as normal, regardless of
UseNfoCache. If offline mode is enabled and UseNfoCache is disabled do nothing.

Ok let see.. "," comna should be dot "." ;) this is to get the id from db.. 
removing
the nfo part of the path
This is not finished.. i'm working on it.. I post what i have done to see if 
you like
the idea :)
If is ok will keep working on it (in a diferent branch) and send updates whem 
is stable !

Closed...
Future will include Movie Information on EMM db... this will have no meaning
