Currenty i have TMDB scraper enabled
but should i also enable another scraper like IMDB etc..
What effect would this have on the scanning process?
Would it increase the time it takes to scan?
And how much time increase would occur?

IMDB has no API and is very slow. We have to parse each website to get the informations. It's not to much time for movies, but it needs many time to parse all data if you use IMDB for episodes.
For movies I use TMDB as first scraper and IMDB as second. In TMDB I've disabled Rating and in IMDB I've enabled only Rating and Top250.
For tv shows I've only enabled TVDB for data. TMDB has an API that is not very good for scraping many episodes. TMDB has a limit a 30 API calls in 10 seconds, then you will be paused for 30 seconds. If you rescrape a tv show like The Simpsons with more than 500 episodes... never ending story :-(
