Hi,

I am using Media Companion to :
  • Map to IMD post (Movie/TV)
  • Download poster and fana art to my shares
  • Download info to the info files in the shares

But there is som questions that I have not mange to find answers to, pleas help :

TV-Series
I have added folders in TV Shows > Folders that contains my series. The structure looks something like this :

MySeries
-Show1
--Sesson1
---epesodes01e01
...

To make Media Companion to fetch the series we have to go Menu > TV Shows > Check Roor for new Tv shows (there is no Scrape button like in the Movies secion.

This is how Media Companion looks look like after the scraping :

And this is how the files looks like :

Question1 : Where is the episodes? Should there not bo a "folder structure" where I can see the episodes?

Question2 : What does the ? mean?

Question3 : How can I see if a Series is correct mapped? In the Movies tab I will see the file that is mapped (Path) but in TV Shows I can´t find this? Do I have to right click on the series and choose "Open Folder" this get this information?

Movies

Question4 : I have a couple of vide clips that should not be mapped to any IMDB post, how do I handle this? In this case Media Companion has mapped it to a other movie post that is not correct. Yeas I know that I could change the information(tital/plot and so on) manually but it will still be mapped to a IMDB post and this will make it able to see a trailer that is to another movie?

Using default settings, its god-freaking slow(30 movies in 3 hours)
