[YAMJ] 2.5-SNAPSHOT-r2629 overwrites images when there is no XML or HTML file in the output

Oh, i need a google account to create an issue

I just may have to pass on this one.

This behavior shouldn't be changed. deleting xml should react the same as adding a new/updated nfo file where everythign in the jukebox should be assumed wrong.

There is a mechanism for local artwork already, copy the important artwork out of the temporary jukebox if it's that important to not find new artwork to you.

The problem is every time YAMJ is updated to stable releases it rechecks the XML for the YAMJ version and rewrites it, which in turn forces it to redownload the poster. What i have been doing is every time i want to rebuild my jukebox i have to manually copy over the posters to the movie folder so it will use them and not over write them with crappy posters or worse, posters in another language since TMDB made language categories for the posters on their site.

I tried to find a work around by creating a folder where my videos are stored and keep the posters in there, but for some reason, every time YAMJ runs it still recreates the poster_large and poster_small images.

This gets more and more aggravating as i also use the Boxme add on to get box covers on the index wall, and every time the poster is overwritten it recreates the poster_large and poster_small images which means after every YAMJ scan i have to run Boxme again.

Its strange because it only affects the posters.

the banners remain in tact.
the video.image files remain.
the fanart goes untouched.

disable recheck?

[Specter]

I was hoping i wouldn't have to do that as its a double edge sword .

As movie names change on IMDB all the time it seems, lately i noticed "Ghost Busters became Ghostbusters and 30 Minutes or Less became 30:Minutes or Less". So this is needed to get accurate titles and most importantly the "Unknown" value when dealing with TV episode video.images.

I have over 1000 titles, so i had it set it to automatically run at 3AM ever night and it worked perfectly. After this version i had to disable the auto run as i no longer know what to expect. If IMDB didn't change something to break the ratings in YAMJ i would have never updated as i only update YAMJ when something breaks due to a change on the sites.

I just want it to go back to how 2.4 was, where if the posters existed in the output folder it would not overwrite them no matter if the XML or HTML was deleted/overwritten, only when the NFO was updated then it would force a poster overwrite .

These are my recheck settings:

PHP Code:

recheck is the same as a new nfo . Can't have it both ways or what's the point of recheck. Thanks for noticing the bug with other images. Explains why recheck never found non dummy images fir those

I'm not sure what your issue is?

You don't want to run recheck because it overwrites your posters - Admittedly this is probably a bug,or an unintended consequence, but it only really matters to you because you use box covers.

You can't be bothered to create a google account to log an issue so that it can be fixed (or more accurately remind me to fix it), so why should I care if it's fixed or not? Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but there you go.

My issue is that it didnt happen in 2.4 only after i updated to 2.5 because of the rating breaking.

I did not say i do not want to run the recheck because the recheck have been running all the time prior to 2.5-SNAPSHOT-r2629 and it never redownloaded posters when they already existed in the output folder. Previous to 2.5 SNAPSHOT-r2629, running a recheck updated everything EXCEPT the images. It never touched the images unless it had an unknown value such as the video.image for TV shows.

Google accounts are a bit of a hit and a miss for me.
Im logged into google.com, i go to youtube and i have to login again, i use the same username and password and it tells me its invalid. But if i close the youtube tab, reopen it , im automatically logged in. Its the same with google project, it does not allow me to loggin directly on google project. I have to go to youtube or google.com, login, then open google project to be automatically logged in. Apparently im a very special case

But all this aside, the issue was created with the vital information and provided the link back to this thread where it provided more information. Issue 2261
