What do you use for scrapping?
#1
Ok I'm a long time Mac and Windows user but my current XBMC box is windows. There are a few external scrapers I use because it stores the data (.nfo and pics) in the folders themselves instead of just in XBMC's database and if anything happens, I never have to rescrape. Here's my dilemma, I'm thinking about getting a Mac mini today because my Windows PC is just too large and too loud and I prefer Mac's anyway. Once I do that, my only options as far as I know is to virtualize Windows just so I can run scraping software or use XBMC's built in scraper... Am I incorrect in this? What are you guys using to scrape your info?

Usually I go into a bar and tell the first bloke I see that I shagged his wife. Normally gets a scrap going.

Always works for me too Wink

On a more serious note, i don't use external scrapers as they cause more problems than they fix more often than not.

Just export the library from xbmc - gives you the exact same thing.

Yea I'm in a similar situation as you and I'm virtualizing Windows to run Media Companion. I think it's the best solution for now..
