I’m getting a sudden influx of reports about crashes when doing chapter lookups. Until I can figure out what’s going on, I suggest disabling tagChimp lookups in the preferences.
Build 500 has just been approved in the app store. If you don’t see it there already, it should appear shortly.
First, if you are looking here for support with updating iDentify through the app store, the answer is in the next couple posts.
Second, build 500 that removes growl support completely (and thus, hopefully any further update errors) has been submitted with an expedition request.
Third, I’m really sick of Apples’ complete lack of support on this issue. I’ve made contact and they talk back, but they are either completely unwilling or unable to actually do a damned thing at all to fix their broken ass updater (I should note iDentify isn’t the first to encounter this EXACT error, let alone very similar errors), and this issue has me considering dumping iDentify completely from the app store, if not from my life altogether. It was initially made for myself to assist me in tagging my movies. A little sprucing up, and I thought the public might like it, which, generally, they seem to. Between bugs that only occur on a specific persons system, or 1 in a million times that can’t be reliably reproduced, and taking the blame on something that is obviously a problem with the way the App Store downloads updates (the latest update wouldn’t have been approved for the App Store if it didn’t work, I should point out), I just don’t know I want to do this anymore.
For now, I will. We’ll see after this blows over if things change.
Given the current update problems on the app store caused by Growl, and the fact that growl isn’t terribly useful as far as iDentify is concerned, since iDentifys application of it is rather spammy, and the folks at Apple can’t figure out why iDentify isn’t allowing some folks to update by failing to overwrite a file that hasn’t changed in over a year, I will be removing Growl support from iDentify effective with the next version. Some of you liked it and wanted it, so, I’m sorry it’s going away. I hope to implement Mountain Lion notifications in iDentify 3 though. I’ll be getting on this update tonight and hope to have the next update expedited through the review process.
For more information on upgrading if you are having issues, read the next post.
iDentify 496 just got approved on the app store. Great news! But…
Some users are already reporting issues with upgrading. They are getting a message like:
The Application Could Not Be Downloaded. The file “Growl.h” couldn’t be saved in the folder “Headers”.
I’ve contacted the App Store about this. But for now, a fix is to right click on iDentify and select Archive (to back up iDentify) then delete the iDentify application by dragging it to the trash and emptying the trash. You should then be able to re-download iDentify from the app store without issue.
Build 495/496 (non app store / app store version) has been posted to Mac Update, the internal updated, and has been submitted to the AppStore. The latter may take some time for approval. The former two are available today.
In this version:
New:
Copy TV Show Name -> Artist field now includes Season # for better sorting on iDevices
Support for the new 1080p HD flag
Updated mp4v2 Engine to rev 488
Support for 4 digit season numbers
Fixed:
Fixed tagChimp Growl Messages displaying incorrect numbers
Fixed some crashes in episode id formatter
Prevent epsiode id formatter from adding an episode id for movies.
Fixed broken iTunes drag and drop beginning with iTunes 10.6
Again, PLEASE DONT POST THIS ANYWHERE. I will when I feel it’s ready.
The 1080 HD tag support and itunes 10.6 drag support seem to be working pretty well so far.
This version I updated the mp4v2 library to rev 488, which could potentially fix an issue for those of you also using SimpleMovieX. Give it a try. Let me know.
Please do not post this anywhere. It may or may not be stable. I will post this at places like MacUpdate myself when I feel it is ready.
This version should have working HD 1080 support as well as fixed the drag/drop issue with itunes 10.6
Be advised there may be side effects if you got your current version from the app store. I’d recommend just waiting if you are an App Store customer.
If you registered through paypal or ar a lite version user, please feel free to give this version a try.
Yes. I know drag and drops are broken. Thank you. 
I have fixed this on my side. An update will be out shortly.
I have iDentify 2 working with 4 digit season numbers, which I’ve been testing for a little while now.
My development machine however died last night, OS X wouldnt even boot. Working on getting things back up though. Once its back up, I’ll be looking into the issues with the genres not being pulled in, and looking into wether or not it will be feasible to implement the HD 1080 tag. Right now the HD flag is Boolean (Either yes or no). It may or may not take significant work to shoe-horn it in.
UPDATE:
I have 1080p flag support added in. It’s shoehorned a bit, but works. The following link is for the BETA version with 1080p support. The 1080p flag does get written correctly… But I have not tested the 1080p autodetection, which works the same as normal HD autodetection but looking for a higher pixel count. This is a feature for registered users only. PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THIS ON OTHER SITES!!!!!!!!….!!!!! —I— will post it when the new stuff is confirmed working.iDentifyLite485BETA
