Greetings. Love the project and the renewed effort.
The app crashes with the following exception "Input string was not in a correct format.".
The reason is that the reg. ex. "[\\\\/\\._ -]([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9](?:(?:[a-i]|\\.[1-9])(?![0-9]))?)([\\._ -][^\\\\/]*)$" (TVShowMatching ID=5 at clsAPIScanner.vb line 6335) is matching "TV Shows\Cartoons\Road Runner\Complete 1949-1994\01 - Fast & Furry-Ous.mpg" as "-1994\01 - fast & furry-ous.mpg", and then, eItem.Episode = CInt(tEpisode) in clsAPIScanner.vb line 584 is throwing the exception when trying to cast tEpisode to CInt from "94\01".
FYI.

Yep, reg. ex. can be tricky and it's hard to understand the purpose of this specific one without documentation so I'll leave it to the meister.
I went ahead and removed the number prefixes from my files, such that 01 - Fast & Furry-Ous.mpg, for example, is now Fast & Furry-Ous.mpg.
This took care of the crash, but didn't yield results.
I then realized that these should be categorized as movies so I added the directory as a movie source.
Still no joy. I can find then movies via IMDB, but Ember MM can't.
Turns out it's a short movie category, which was missing from the IMDB scraper, so I forked the Ember-MM-Newscraper repo and patched the code.
Seems to be working find so I created a pull request in case Dan would like to merge the code.
(*) I totally dislike code duplication, but decided to follow suit according to existing code (instead of rocking the boat).
Cheers.

Foot note:
When trying to compile the code I got AxAXVLC related errors.
It took a while to realize that there's an issue with VLC's ActiveX in version 2.2.0.
After downgrading to VLC v2.1.5 the problem went away.
FYI.
