Your Ripped Music Collection - Automated Reporting (coming soon)

[HomerJAU]

The new Movie Report be will included in the next Beta. This is the PDF report exported from MMH and copied onto my iPad (then screen captured). The new Report has additional data imported from my Kodi NFO files (xml):

I will create two Movie Reports, one like this when users have the NFO files, and another simpler one without Cast, Director, Genre, IMDB rating and Plot summary.

When finished the TV Series Report will look similar to this. Two Reports needed.

I will add Duration and Genre to the Music Report when I get a chance, but I’ve other comments over next couple of days. So probably just one more Beta release tomorrow, then a couple days break.

A new Beta 11 installer has just been uploaded:
https://reva.blob.core.windows.net/mmh8/ReportingBeta/MMHInstaller.msi

Changes from previous Beta 10:
New Music Report now has Genre and Album Duration
New Movie Report (first working release) - as shown in previous post but with text aligned correctly
Some code optimisation when Scanning Movies data (NFO and Images)

It's working well! Using this tool I see a lot of tagging errors I made
. Now it's easy to tidy up my lib because I see what is wrong.

Some observations using beta9:

Comment is not stored from CUE files, when it looks like:
REM COMMENT "4824, 7.1 Atmos TrueHD"
Probably the "" are a problem?

But REM GENRE "Rock"
is working as Rock in Genre.

In a DTS-CD CUE file that belongs to a single DTS-CD.wav file
REM GENRE ROCK is not working. Genre is empty. There are no "".

REM DATE 1982
works as well using no "".

A question: what happens when I scan again? Are the tags stored a second time in MMH's database? Or will the database be overwritten by the new scan results?

I use Plex for movies. What is the best way to get the info and posters for local recall, Tiny Media Manager?

I will check this out. EDIT: A coding error ‘REM COMMENT’ was being written to Genre. You will need to fix that with the next MMH beta when it’s released. @M-K

A Scan always rebuilds the selected Source Type data (deletes everything in Music if Music is selected),then does a complete re-read if all Music folders and files.

A Refresh only finds Changed folders and files and updates the existing data in the selected Source Type (Music if Music is selected). The Refresh button is the small square a ‘refresh’ icon. Refresh also finds new, renamed and changed folders (and files in folders).

I’m not sure. What’s in your Plex music folders? Are there existing nfo files. Does Plex have its own database? I know nothing about it.

Plex scans everything but doesn't store the info locally. It just stores everything in its own database.

Thanks, while I’m still awake dealing with my cat chucking up everywhere at 2:00am I was doing a little web surfing and that seemed to be the opinion.

To get all that extra data use tinymediamanager, there are options to use Kodi formatting for the nfo files it creates and for image naming. Have a play it’s pretty fast but it may need some user input if it can’t find the exact movie release. It looks at file name and any tags if it’s a MKV or MP4 file (if any).

Give it a go it does not change any media files (no tagging ) it stores everything in its own small db and auto creates nfo files for Kodi (and now MMH) and of course downloads images for Poster, Fanart and actors. Use the free 5.0.13 (current version).

It seems to be working very well.

Fixed in a new upload. (same link as previous.

This update fixes the CUE 'COMMENT" issue reported above, COMMENT was ignored! No other changes since Beta 11 (in fact I forgot to update the version name so this new installer will still show Beta 11)

Use 'Refresh' to update your cue file albums, no need to do a new 'Scan' (which does complete new deep folder/file read) if you have previously scanned with yesterdays Beta

More info please: TinyMediaManager is working well or MMH working with your TinyMediaManager data?

Both. TMM populated everything nicely and MFM within MMH displays everything sweetly. TMM only missed a small percentage of poster art, but it should be able to fix the ones it missed. I don't see any issues so far with MFM or the Advanced Report. I will look again a little closer tomorrow once I make sure every movie has artwork and details which shouldn't be difficult.

I'm just running a scan again. Thank you. And:
...it's getting better all the time ...
(cit. from? We know! Good song btw.)

Hope this is valid for your cat too.

The cat eats dog’s food, cat chuck up. The separation routine sometimes fails…

I did add CUE files to the MMH hash algorithm used for faster change detection. A cue is not a MMH media file so it was being ignored in earlier Betas. It’s now included with other non-media file types in these reports: jpg, png and nfo files.
