Yammm - Yet Another Media Meta Manager

[Archmage]

Thanks for the quick reply. Well, I will wait, so. Or better, let them out of Media Center, to maintain it out of access of the boys.

Congratulations from Brazil, and thanks for this excelent software.

 

[mikinho]

De nada.

Há! "Little Monkey" is a brazilian guy!

How we say here, the world is a little egg...

By the way, I was just making a test withe Media Center + YAMMM;

My pc configuration make me cry in anger when I try to use the Media Center, actually.
But I have a new Sata hd and more ram to come, in the next month.

Hello all,

I downloaded the software. I followed the recommendations in the forum.
It seems that the software works, it downloads information about the films.
But it seems that at this stage only posters.
Is it supposed to download more content, such as summary, and other information about the film.
Maybe I acted wrong? Is it possible to add content manually?

Thank you very much.

Hi Alex,

Yammm downloads a DVDID.XML file and a yammm000(ish) file which is downloaded to c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\eHome

Once you run Media Center, open 'Movies' and click a movie file, Windows will proceed to download information for 'Summary', 'Similar Movies', 'Actors' etc.

It can take some time so please be patient.

I did everything as you say.

Still seems that the file is empty.
Here is his copy:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Disc>
<Name>Angels & Demons</Name>
<ID>YAMMM000|00003488</ID>
</Disc>

Hi Alex, sorry for not having responded sooner. I haven't checked the site in a few days, I've been busy getting the new version done. The xml file you quoted above is exactly what should be in the movie file. The ID corresponds to another file that Media Center uses as the cache file for metadata. Can you confirm that in Yammm you've checked all the accounts you want metadata provided for on the Metadata tab? If so, check the %AppData%\Microsoft\eHome\DvdInfoCache folder for a corresponding YAMMM000-00003488.xml file.

I thank you for your response.

In the attached picture you can see the file list. File exists.

Thanks Alex, the file you shown above was not created by Yammm, it was created as a placeholder by Media Center since the file did not exist. Either Yammm is not configured properly or an error is occurring. Can you check your Event Log for errors and post a screenshot of the Metadata tab in Yammm Config.

Installed Yammm the other day, gotta say a big thank you and well done to the creator, my only issue with it is one film i have (night watch), the cover image keeps getting pulled up by AVG as a threat? has anyone else had this issue?

I'll report the issue with themoviedb.org and they will pull the cover. Sometimes it is a false alarm other times it can be an embedded threat. I'll working hard to get the new version done. In the new version if you delete a cover art for whatever reason it will pull the next available one or you can manually pick it.

Edit: I checked the jpg against several AV scanners and did not get any threats reported. I'm inclined to believe it a false alarm. I'll still report it to themoviedb and let them decide.

 

[DxxS]

Mikinho - you star, i thought it was probably a false alarm, i thought it may have something to do with the name?
only guessing though.

btw, Some additional Media Center add-ins are available at Mikinho | Projects. I still have 5 or 6 left to add but thought I'd mention. The dev builds will be available at this site as well.

I hope that the attachments will help.

They do help, you have Windows 7 Media Center selected but you do not have any user accounts enabled. Check "alex" and the other account "D37X" in the account list.

btw, I am changing the way this works. I found a setting that lets Media Center user account share metadata. I'll be using that instead.

Great! It works!

From where information is collected?

Hi,

First of all, I'm really pleased with Yammm and how it performs, but I have one niggly problem that I can't figure out.
My movies all get the correct thumbnails & backgroun info ok, but TV programs don't.

eg. I have a folder called: Father Ted Season 1. I've checked thetvdb.com database and can find the correct listing (Father Ted: Series Info), but Yammm isn't picking this up. What am I doing wrong?

I have my movies and tv shows in the same directory on my hard drive, and all are ripped into VIDEO_TS folders using DVD Shrink. I'm using Win 7 Media Centre to play.

Thanks!

Not sure it supports TV series yet - I think v2.0 will have that functionality.

Check out mikinho's site.

 

[mikinho]

TV support is not enabled until v2. It was due for release on the 12th but due to family emergency it was delayed until this Sunday. You'll be able to download from Mikinho and be notified via twitter at Mikinho (mikinho) on Twitter

Thanks CBers, you beat me to the response.

Thanks CBers, you beat me to the response.

Glad to be of assistance.

Looking forward to Yammm 2.0 !!
