Give it again try, let us know.
 Doesn't pull adult titles from TMDB even when enabling Adult titles and a personal API key.  Nost of the other media managers around here have a setting to enable the Adult section of TMDB.

OK. Interesting to know.
can you give me an adult title to test with, and I'll see about getting this supported.
(Hope the wife understands what I'm doing...lol)

There was an option....but I believe it got removed as it was hit and miss to get them from HD Trailer.
We now rotate through trailer sources.
I believe HD Trailer is the first source tried.
Then TMDB Trailers
Then Youtube
Lastly IMDb.

If you find trailer is available from HD Trailers, but your getting Youtube or other url/download, please give me an example movie title that I can test with.

OK, seems MC's HD Trailer scraper is so old it doesn't work anymore. And the new Kodi scraper is a Video Add-on now and in python, so that can't be used.

Seems I am going to have to code a new method to get HD Trailers to give us the URL link. Also, the URL link is from Apple.
YAY.

This one will take some time to get working.

Hey Rob, here's a tool that's helpful in getting HD Trailers - HD-Trailers.Net Downloader - New Version. I've been using it for quite a while now and haven't had any issues. It launches a cmd line program to fetch trailers. I don't know if it will be useful, but I figured I'd at least link it.

 Sure, but you can simply create a dummy file by copying over any movie and naming for an adult title and trying to scrape it.  Now if you really want a title, PM me and I'll dropbox one for ya.


Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2017-12-19

Just after title, filename. I use dummy files all the time. Pm me a couple of titles, filename if you don't want them visible in this thread.

Cheers.

I am using MC 3.6.9.0 - 64 Bit on Windows 8.1

I started to work with series 2-3 weeks ago. I am trying to get MC to fill the information for the French Nina show (ShowID=291917 lid=17 in TheTVDB).
When I go to the TV SHOW Selector, there are only 6 shows to choose from and the corect one is not there. However when I search for Nina in the tvdb tab, there are more than 35 shows listed. Unfortunately I cannot select the correct one and tell MC to scrape the info for that show. (there is no such option in the tvdb tab).

Note: searching for Nina (2015) instead of Nina generates the same list of shows in both tabs.

My questions:
- why does MC show an incomplete list of shows in the TV Show Selector tab?
- can we directly supply the ShowID (when we know it) so that MC scrapes the correct data? (This is possible for Movies)

I see the issue with Media Companion, and have a fix in place for the next release.
Just a couple of extra tweaks needed, hope to get the new release out tomorrow.

RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - cine1952 - 2017-12-21

V3.691b - 64bits
Trying to scrape 'P.J.' (ShowID=94861).
Ex. of Path D:\TVShows\P.J\Season01\S01E01.avi
MC does not see the 'P.J' folder. Menu TVShows>Check Roots for new TVShows
has no effect. No errors or warnings.

No issue here.

Created folder P.J.
Windows shows folder name P.J - cuts off last full stop.
Added folder, and MC scraped Les Pyjamasques
Clicked on TV Show Selector
and found series P.J. in list.
Clicked scrape show with selected options.
All good.
MC 3.691b

Unfortunately due to the full stops in the series name, hitting the correct series first time is near impossible.
But, that is where the TV Show Selector tab comes in.

Cheers.
