Updated Release: MediaScout 0.9 Beta 1 (Feb 03, 2009)

aeoth — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:02:15 GMT

Time for a beta! This is the first actual beta (I'd like to think of the last release as a preview) of MediaScout.
Since it is a huge change over the last version, there are lots of new bugs introduced. If you could report all of them, it'll help me getting it working better!

New Features (from TVScout 0.8)

Movie Metadata fetching

Using theMovieDB.org, MediaScout can help you fetch and manage metadata for movies as well

TV Management

More fine-grained control over your TV metadata and images, allowing you to select from available posters, banners and backdrops.

Auto-tron

Monitors a folder, fetching metadata and (optionally) renaming for you as soon as a file is dropped in!
Current limitation is it won't move it into season folders.
ie, drop a file into C:\videos\Heroes\Season 3\

Backdrop support

MediaBrowser now supports backdrops, so MediaScout does too!

Episode Poster Extracting

No episode "posters"? Thats okay, providing you've got the codecs installed on your system, a screenshot will be captured and written to file (at 25% of the way through the episode)

Fixes

TheTVDB posters now correctly use the API to determine poster locations, which will avoid random poster problems http://www.mediabrowser.tv/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=663

To do

"Single season", if a show only has one season, don't require a season folder, just process it in the root directory of that show
Editing boxes for Movies/TV shows so you can edit incorrect details or add details missing
Version checker
Caching. It has been removed as a better system will go in its place.
Undo. It's been removed so a better (database driven) system can go in its place.
Cancel button doesn't show/cancel. Just be careful with hitting fetch data too many times.
move threads for the movie list to improve loading times

Updated Release: TVScout 0.8 (Nov 11, 2008)

aeoth — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:02:43 GMT

New features/changes

Metadata caching; caching all the data for quicker processing when updating
Customizable file extension list, ie support for DVR-MS/or any other file type you can think of, just by editing/appending the config file
New GUI
Changes to the TVScout API: existing functions will move to the TVScout.TV namespace, and the new movie functions will go in the TVScout.Movies namespace. Logging now changed to use TVScout.TVScoutLog. Movie functionality will make its way in, but currently the only decent API (theMovieDB.org) is still too feature/detail sparse to be used over something like Salami's Movie Organiser - TMDb have said they will be adding more features, so expect a 0.8b/0.9 to contain movie support.

Bug fixes

Fixed double digit season parsing again (ie, i think? All parsing is working fine here again)
Fixed logging format to be more readable (indentation)
