I maybe have a theory:
Any chance that at one point you may have had a secondary monitor? I know I've run into issues with two monitors and when one is removed, settings are retained for certain windows in applications to display on the secondary monitor, which no longer exists. To (hopefully) get this window back, do what you've been doing to get the window to appear. When you're able to get the "ding" sound when clicking on the main window, press the Windows button and the left/right arrow keys on the keyboard a few times until it hopefully shows up on your screen/monitor.

HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Just plugged my 4th monitor back into the PC.... and guess what was waiting for me... WTF!!!
I DID THIS BEFORE!!!!
Anyway I dragged it back to my 3rd monitor and now that is where it will open from now on.
It's late! I'm going to bed... but at least that headache is over!
Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate the time!

Ha, thanks... sometimes its just overkill but sometimes its very useful.
As for the situation maybe I'm just getting my times mixed up. I was having 3 different issues all at the same time so it wasn't MediaElch alone that drove me to do a reinstall.
I thought I unplugged the monitor before the installation but it may not have been until after... I can't remember at this point. I spent a good bit of the weekend screwing with this. Everything is resolved and the reinstall had nothing to do with any of them, LOL... But a fresh install every once in awhile is a good thing!
and yeah the_bo I know... love ME... been using it a long time. Used a handful of others and like ME the best!

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but as a 2nd day user of Media Elch I'm having issues that are probably just due to 'finger trouble'.
I'm happy using Kodi's embedded scrapers etc for mainstream movies, and can select different art through its own dialogs if needed.
However, for Home Movies I want to add specific fanart and poster.jpg images. I can get Elch to display the required alternate artwork and place appropriately named copies in the NAS folder alongside the movie. Elch creates an nfo, so I get all the actors, plot stuff, genre etc, but the nfo creates no reference to the fanart or poster, so Kodi does nothing with them (I have it set to scan local info only for Home Videos).
Secondly, once Kodi has pulled in the nfo information I can't get it to re-read an amended version when I hit 'Refresh' in Kodi movie information.... it just keeps asking for the movie title (and ignores the answers). Do I really have to learn to use command-line code to clear a cache somewhere?
Thanks

Hey dear Kodi Community,
why do i get recently just english plots instead of german like it did weeks ago?
nothing was changed in mediaelch. moviedv is tv scraper and language is set to german.
why do i get then english plots? maybe there is no german plat for that movie?

Can't select all movies via ctrl-a or drag and highlight movies via ctrl click drag, it will only allow me to select one and hold control to select more, any suggestions?

Hello,
I am thinking of using this plugin to improve my media library.
I was wondering whether it is possible to import data from Synology's DS Videostation and also
if it is possible to import data from Kodi?
I am running OSMC/Kodi on a RPI3.
Thank you !

How do you all deal with documentaries? I have a lot which are part of regular TV programmes. Will these be found when I scrape them as series?

I imagine those are considered similar to OAVs/OVAs/Specials, in which case you'd check to see if thetvdb.com (or the scraper in question) has them listed under specials. If it does, then place them under your directory tree as season 0 matching whatever episode number it has on the website for the Specials season. In the event they aren't listed, you have two options really:
- Add them to the scraper website (contribute!) if you feel they *do* belong there. Remember that places like TheTVDB (Read their guidelines) only refresh their API once every 15 or so minutes, so give it time to show up in programs like MediaElch or Kodi itself.
- Simply do it manually. To show in your library, it has to be under a season, so I'd still use Season 0, then in MediaElch they'll show up and you simply manually enter the information.
