Hi Vanessa & the dev team, Can we have some kind of status update on the media scanner work? Is there a public branch we can checkout? In terms of short term work I have a couple of merge requests waiting on Bundle Buddy, https://www.moovida.com/quality/review Specifically a trivial change "Allow folder.jpg etc for cover art", plus a more debatable one "[Bug 491073] Scanner ignores year in TV and Movie filenames". I also have an submitted patch to do with how the media scanner records time stamps. For medium/long term changes, some discussion on the forum has made it clear to me that for some things Moovida needs more work at the database level (e.g. better handling of the same video in multiple formats). http://www.moovida.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1726 Regards, Peter
