General discussion about Y2M V1BETA8

[the-osiris]

get the same errors, and it bombs out - I have even gone as far as reloading my computer, no luck. Beta 7 worked fine - Beta 8 is a peice of rubbish - going back to Thumgen

You are free to choose between using Y2M or any other program as you like, Y2M is depends on IMDb and YAMJ, IMDb keep updating their sites as YAMJ also did, bugs is inevitable.

We are grateful having Peter Butler to gave his time in developing Y2M, I'm sure he's noticed about those bugs and we can only wait for an update, in a while, you may use many other scraping program.

Point Y2M to E:\Movie Collection to scan and not to the movie path below.

Sure. Create new empty text file and rename it to the same name as your movie, but replace .txt file extension with .nfo file extension. Edit this empty text file, and just copy IMDB movie title link for this movie (Snatch) into this text file.
In this case that would be:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208092/
Save and exit .nfo file.
Run Y2M again, it will work now because this .nfo file will direct Y2M to the correct Movie title at IMDB.
You can do this for every movie, making sure that you put .nfo file in the folder with the same movie and of course filename of .nfo file should be exactly the same as movie file. Works great with non-recognized movies by Y2M.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked. I don't understand why the 'about' picture isn't from the movie. Y2M is supposed to pick up original cover art from IMDB. Maybe IMDB has problems again... Although, I don't have imdb.site=us in configuration, but imdb.site=labs. I set this option to maintain original movie titles, in order not to get translated (localized - Croatian) movie titles. Sometimes cover art is different too...

Hi there,
for now I have the following two questions:
1. In which file are the positions and sizes for the different areas (title, duration, plot, genre, actors etc.) defined. I want to do some modification of the template (repostion and resizing of some areas) and I think I have enough knowledge to do this, but at the moment I didn't find where. I'm only looking for the template of the standard movie page (about.jpg).
2. YAMJ is downloading the fanart and the cover for the folder view automatically. Is there any option to choose between different images (for most movies there are several fanarts and covers available, I guess YAMJ is always using the "first" one)? Would be great if I could manually decide, which image to use. If that's not possible within the tool itself, I guess I can download the necessary images by myself, but where do I have to place it and which filename do they need?
Thank you!

Ciao Stefan

You may have a look at YAYMAN (see google)

[Loewe81]

Thank you marcepa, will give it a try.
Another question, how can I disable the Mede8er-Logo on the bottom right?
It's not possible to define its size to zero or to position it outside of the visible area.
Deleting the image file (where is it located) or is there an official setting, where I can disable it?
Thank you!

Ciao Stefan

[Loewe81]

From which site is YAMJ downloading the covers for the folder.jpg?
Can this be edited in the properties and if yes with which key?
I'm asking because I'm looking for German covers, at the moment I got always the english version, where the title is also different from the German one.

:EDIT: For all the german people here, it seems to be the language-key in the themoviedb-category. I set it to "de" and then I got the german covers. I also tried the country-key and changed it from "US" to "DE", but this was making no differences.

Thank you!

Ciao Stefan

What am I supposed to do if I want to see language and country info on about.jpg
