You mean something like: 

I didn't realize that was a mouse-over, I tried to click on it though haha

One last question, MM will overwrite lower quality copies of the movies in my custom quality? Like CAMs will eventually be deleted in favor of 720P releases? How does it know how to do that? Do I have to have the "renaming" setup?

[RuudBurger]

It will overwrite depending on filesize (for now). And yes renaming is needed for that.

If I didn't have renaming setup, will I now have to re-add the movies in my list for them to do the overwriting properly?

[RuudBurger]

Nope, just as long as it active when a better quality is found.

I must just be having the worst luck with this. After turning on the renaming, I get this in the logs:

15:43:36,585 CRITI [stderr] Exception in thread Thread-4:

I have some question regarding "Rename"

I am trying to make use it to move all download movie into one place.

e.g. I set the movie destination to "e\movie"
However, I want all movie in this folder without its own folder.
(I short, I don't want to create a folder for each movie).

I notice when I leave the "Folder Naming" empty, rename doesn't work at all.
If I put in folder Naming, then it works, which create a folder using movie name, then put the movie inside.

Is there a way I can make it move the movie to the root of the destination location without creating a new folder for each movie?

Thanks

[RuudBurger]

Nope, that isn't supported and won't be, sorry.
Why would you want all your movies in 1 dir anyway

You're lucky that renaming wont work without a folder name, else you whole movie dir would be empty right now

Hey Ruud,

When a movie is snatched it doesnt seem to set the category in SAB to anything(unless im doing something wrong) could you make it set it to movies?

[RuudBurger]

In settings the category should be the same as the category you set up in Sabnzbd.

[wilsoncheng]

Well, I want to move all movie file under one folder, without its own folder.
Because I am using MediaPortal.
What I do is then download cover art for each one.

e.g. if I have a movie file "IronMan.MKV" , I will get the coverart and name it "IronMan.jpg"

So when I use Mediaportal to view the list, it will show the jpg file.

Ok as my main pc that runs sabnzb and this hardly gets turned off i switched it off today and have to open up movie manager again. Sabnzbd works fine both are listed in start up so not sure what the issues could be?

[RuudBurger]

@wilsoncheng:
Maybe look into something like http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/ then.

@Mrkennedy
Anything in the logs?

You might want to try http://www.mediabrowser.tv/gallery

This app would not require you to take it out of its own folder. Just a thought.

EDIT: here is the theme I am using http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/51/maelstrom.jpg - since the default is kinda ugly.

RuuBurger, I owe you a beer!

Awesome.  Been hoping someone would do something like this.  I just tried it and it worked perfectly and it's nice and simple.

A couple very minor comments/suggestions:

- I would add a way to cancel out of the dropdown movie list that appears when you do a search; a couple times a search didn't turn up what I wanted, and you have to reload the page to get the search box back in that case

- I would have the "snatched/downloaded" list have the same info and be in the same format as the main list, so you can see what format you downloaded at a glance, etc

- would be neat if the page auto-grabbed box art from themoviedb and displayed it next to the movie name

[wilsoncheng]

Thanks for suggestion, I will give it a try
