I know for a fact a bunch of Unraid users are looking for a stand alone docker container for some sort of Metadata/NFO program for Kodi / Plex / Jellyfin...etc... etc.... I was hoping this would be it.

This are kodi internal InfoLabels: (working with scrapers and .nfo) https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels This are Skinhelper InfoLabels: (only working with SkinHelper in real time over internet) https://github.com/marcelveldt/script.skin.helper.service/wiki/Listitem-Properties---All-video-items I saw you requested in a forum.kodi thread that some SkinHelper InfoLabels should also be aviable for kodi internal and not only via SkinHelper ...but still no response from Team Kodi I would also appreciate it if the SkinHelper InfoLabels were finally also available in kodi internal, but Kodi 18 final release is in 3-4 weeks... chances are really bad that there will be changes in that way. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Edworld - 2019-01-25 vbat99, If you decide to scrape https://letterboxd.com/ ratings, do you know if kodi will display them in dialogvideoinfo? thanks Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2019-01-25 Chances are Kodi won't display those ratings. As far as I know only tmdb, IMDb and Rotten Tomato ratings a visible to the skin. I see this site gets most of its data from tmdb the only thing you'd be after is the ratings, but I don't know if it has an API. That's hard to see a justification right now for the extra work to do web page scraping for those ratings if Kodi won't load them into the database. And then you've gotta think about the skin being able to display those values. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - wdpcpa - 2019-01-27 I recently got a Nvidia Shield and replaced my media computer. I was using Frodo, but now I use Kodi. I scraped the current database using local NFO only because I was afraid to rescrape everything. Besides, the files worked with Frodo. But some TV shows were not showing up. The Kodi adviser had me delete my old NFO files for those shows and scrape with Kodi. The deleted NFO files were pretty old. It worked. Then he advised to use Kodi and not Media Companion in the future. My habit has been to use Media companion on my desktop and then copy to a backup and to my media data base. This is easier for me than copying to the data base, scraping with Kodi, then copying the data base file to a backup. As to Kodi vs Media Companion, is one any better that the other? I am using an old version of Media Companion (3.68) because it doesn't seem broken. So I have not updated it.

I was using Frodo, but now I use Kodi. Fistly, there have been a lot of fixes between you 3.68 version, and the latest 3.727b version. I always use Media Companion and allow Kodi to pull from the nfo files. If your nfo's are a bit stale, then you can run the batch rescrape wizard for Tv and set it to Rebuild all nfo files. This will update the nfo's to the latest format. EG, format it correctly for the latest Kodi release. It is your call if you prefer to use Kodi to manage your series/episodes/movies etc. For me, I have three installs of Kodi, so having the nfo's locally is preferred so each kodi isn't downloading the same data from the internet, but the data I have checked in Media Companion first. Hope this is of help.

Anidb also has its own media manager and video scraper. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - jinux - 2019-01-31 I added a root folder with 85 shows and 133820 episodes (so it says. It looks like it crashed, took about 5 minutes until it showed the tvshows. Then i scrape one tvshow and again the program is not responding. For minutes. Is this normal behaviour. I now use the 64 bit version. As the 32 bit kept inresponsive for half an hour so i decided to try 64 bit. But i like to know if this is normal, because that means it will take very very long till all my tv shows are scraped. What am i doing wrong? Now it crashes at startup, at the splashscreen it says status - loading TV database and Windows tells me the program does not respond. Is there a maximum allowed number of tvshows to add? Hmm it is back now, i scraped bloodline. The poster banner actor are all bloodline but media companion insists its 12 monkeys?... Oh wait, not responding .... Stage 3/3 scraping 2 of 33. And it stays there now for about 4 minutes again. What have i done to my library ;-( aaaahhhh. Im sorry, i do not think it is for me. It looks great though, and if it would work it would be super, but pitty for me.. :-( RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2019-01-31 (2019-01-31, 19:47)jinux Wrote: I added a root folder with 85 shows and 133820 episodes (so it says.

I've never tested more than scraping 400 episodes in one hit. I'm not sure of a work-around on this at present. If I have any thoughts I'll post a reply. RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - jinux - 2019-01-31 ok thanks for your answer now i know why this is not working, it looks very great though, and i tested it with seperate folders first, for like 10 show, and it seems to work very well, so i decided to add one of my root folders. But keep up the good work, i hope maybe in the future it would be ossible to add more then 400 episodes at once :-) RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - bobrap - 2019-01-31 Hey, Rob. Looking for a little help with actors. I have the exclude actors without thumbnails box ticked. When I scrape actors, it still puts all of them in the nfo. I believe it's just a bunch of episode actors. Is there a way to turn off episode actors or apply the don't download unless a thumbnail exists? Got something good coming soon? Hasn't been a recent update. Thanks RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - chrissix666 - 2019-01-31 (2019-01-31, 21:24)bobrap Wrote: I have the exclude actors without thumbnails box ticked As far as i know, exclude actors without thumbnails is only for movies and tvshows, not for episodes Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2019-01-31 There's an option to also copy actors to the episodes nfos if you've got that ticked that might be duplicating it. But actors from tvdb for episodes are normally the guest actors and they don't have icons and we don't disable those from scraping into the episode nfos Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2019-01-31 Oh and nothing much a new at this point in time. I've been busy with a new job. So I've only been doing any bug fixes for mediacompanion |
