Office Hours / Support

[bugwelle]

Hi,

you may have noticed that I no longer reply within a day or two to issues. That's because as of recently, I finished University and have started a full-time job. Of course I now have less time available to work on MediaElch, but I still want to work on it and support it.

I general, I will take a few hours per week to go through issues and work on bug-fixes and so on.

If you don't immediately get an answer, don't think that the project is dead. I simply take a bit longer now. 😄
If I don't answer withing 14 days, don't be afraid to ask again, e.g. by another post in your GitHub issue. It may be that I accidentally marked your issue as read.

Regards,
Andre

Good news. You working full time.
I don't want to be indiscreet but...
How was your thesis?

[bugwelle]

How was your thesis?

Thanks for asking. All went well. :-)
No grade, yet. That takes a while.

Best of luck! The first six months of full time work are tiring as you get used to a new pace/routine, but you will get through it. Get sleep!

I am just wondering when will the next snapshot for Windows for v2.10.7-dev be updated since only Linux was updated. Since want to try out the latest fixes.

Nightly builds were broken. I've fixed them via #1735 and the next Nightly versions should be available in the next 1h. :)

Edit:// There seem to be a few more issues. I'm looking into it.

Hey I was just wondering if you had any chance to look at that issue about wrong images since I posted it 3 days ago about that even gave a screenshot. Its under the same one as tvdb episode thumbnails.

Answered just now. :)

I noticed when scraping from tvmaze only the tvshow actors show up but not the episode actors or guest cast how come the episode actors are disabled even though you can scrape the tv show actors from tvmaze?

As far as I know, TVMaze does not return any "actor" details for episodes, at least not for the main cast.
They provide an API for "guest crew", but MediaElch does not use it, yet. See https://www.tvmaze.com/api#episode-main-information

Please open a new issue for further discussion (or a feature request) 😃

Am just leeting you know when you changed scrapers to the new format you accidetnally changed tvdb image search to bulgarian when you try to look for posters adn images from tvdb even though it shows english as the default language in the scraper settings. The tvdb image search doesnt reflect that it does reflect it in the earlier version

[bugwelle]

@kolbdog323 Thanks. I'll check and reply in #1786 :)

[bugwelle]

Hi all, just FYI: I'm on vacation for the next two weeks and may likely not respond in time. :)

[kolbdog323]

I'm just letting you know I just downloaded the last version 2.8.12 with tvdb support and that still works so am not sure why the newer version stopped supportiong it since it downloads the thumbails and actor images all the posters from tvdb excetra everything still works properly.

Thanks. There were compile-errors that I did not notice, as they didn't appear on my macOS system. Will be fixed. :)

[kolbdog323]

When will the next build be out so i can test out to see if the fix you just did for tvmaze works and everything?

[bugwelle]

For Windows and Linux, a Nightly snapshot version is released. For macOS, I'll build one today. :)
