Yammm - Yet Another Media Meta Manager

[mikinho]

It only updates on the size, not quality. So you could 1- Change the setting; 2- Delete all the folder.jpg that have a corresponding folder.jpg.original (you don't want to delete those that don't incase you received from a different means). Yammm will then recreate all the folder.jpg from the folder.jpg.original w/o having to redownload any.

I wrote a quick script for you that will do it: DeleteBackedUpFolderArtwork.cmd. Copy the script to your parent movie folder and let it go =)

If you are worried about running it I can change it to simply rename the folder.jpg and you'd have it as a backup. And below is the contents of the script if people prefer.

@ECHO OFF
PUSHD %~dp0

SETLOCAL

FOR /R %%I IN (folder.jpg) DO IF EXIST "%%~dpnI.original.jpg" DEL /A /Q /F "%%I"

ENDLOCAL

POPD

Thanks mikinho, I'll give it a bash later today, just got to work but will let you know how it goes.

Last question, I noticed this morning that yammm is still using my bandwith, will this process stop at some point or do I have to manually stop the service?

Thanks again

 

[mikinho]

Sounds like you have "Override existing artwork enabled" Disable it and it should stop. This setting was meant to be used only once or for wiping artwork....I've removed it completely in v2.


That also explains the corrupt images and constant refreshing!

 

[stomper]

OMW......your right....that makes sense....

I enabled it because I have aloot of artwork already in the folders, but I want a FRESH lot so....
I'll try and disable it first, and hopefully it works.

Thanks...when can we expect v2., and will it support TV series aswell?

Awsome programme btw.

just started using media center and was looking for something to put some info into the folders and stumbled across this really awesome little app - it is fantastic!
when do you expect support for tv shows and perhaps anime?

 

[mikinho]

I don't know when I'll be releasing to public beta, I'm not waiting on a few things out of my current control. If you send me a PM or e-mail w/ your e-mail address I'll include you on the beta when it is available. I have 4 big Media Center based projects that my goal is to have all done by June 18th. Depending on the timing on what I'm waiting for, Yammm may be this month or mid-May.

thank you!

ok - everything working - synopsis info, cover thumbnail (folder.jpg) - but the backdrop.jpg is not showing - all the backdrops are there, they just are not showing up in mpc - what have I done wrong?

 

[mikinho]

MPC doesn't support backdrops that I know of. The apps that support backdrop are XBMC, MediaBrowser, OML, MyMovies, SageTV, Meedios, J River Media Center, Boxee ...

I've bold the ones that I know work with Yammm metadata, more coming in v2.

Due to a change in tmdb, a needed improvement with image ID, Yammm has not been working since Tuesday, April 27th.

I did not want to release another update to v1 but due to the nature of the change I've released v1.0.3770. Please uninstall any previous versions prior to install.

Note: The change to tmdb will effect all applications utilizing the API from a strongly typed class, not just Yammm. I fully understand why the change was made and it was the right decision on Travis' part.

See Mikinho | Yammm to download the update. Sorry for not being able to provide v2 publicly yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, thank you very much! Just performed uninstall and then update. Nice that it remembered my settings also! Well done!

I know, It was pretty painless.

 

[mikinho]

Glad it went well. I was a little concerned as I hadn't looked the v1 code base in a while =)

For v2, the setup package is much "smarter" so you own't have to uninstall and auto update features will be optionally available.

Awesome addition mikinho!

I'd rep you, but I am told I have to spread some around before I can rep you again!

thanks for this info - as you can no doubt tell I only recently have started using MPC and windows 7, and only because I bought an MPC remote - I have however been using a computer to play all my media through my tv for a couple of years now, but MPC is like a whole new experience and the windows help is at best basic - so any and all help is very much appreciated!
btw which one would you suggest I try out first? - my computer with mpc is not online and I took my external with my movie files to work to dl metadata (I dont quite know if this has any bearing on the question)

Sadly, had to release another intermediate fix as a user over at tgb found a bug w/ the movie [Rec] that would have affected all movies with a bracket in the name.

While in there I've added 2 features from Yammm v2 in addition to the fix.

1- Added improved logic for matching against remakes if the Year is specified in the folder name

2- Added several "directives" for telling Yammm what the proper movie is if it doesn't fnd it:

- Append a tag w/ the imdb, i.e.: Whatever [imdb=tt0892769]
- Append a tag w/ the tmdb, i.e.: Whatever [tmdb=13550]
- Rename the folder name to the imdb, i.e.: tt0892769

I'll be on a vacation this evening until Sunday with no access to a computer. If anyone finds an issue let me know ASAP and I'll try to fix before leaving.

Thanks for the update.
