I have quite a few movies with extras... behind the scenes, making of, etc. I have these in an 'extras' folder in each movie folder. I forget which addon is necessary for this or what skins support them... RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - chrissix666 - 2019-02-20 There are 3 extras Addons out there (One of them is banned on this platform) via the context menu should all work fine. If you also want to have it via DialogVideoInfo the skin must have implemented it (or implement it yourself) But this is quite offtopic in this thread!

I have had it working before using Universal Scraper however it doesn't scrape other things correctly. You say the critics consensus data has been dead for a long time?... however, I am getting it to scrape via 'Universal Movie Scraper' once I enter my OMDB API. I've also proven the critics consensus matches exactly what is detailed on the Rotten Tomatoes website. Also when I export the video library to xml using Kodi it writes the critics consensus to the NFO in the 'outline' section. Please see NFO link below: https://paste.kodi.tv/fiwesecido=12ptIt is also showing correctly on the Leia MQ7 mod dialogue page. Please see screenshots below…Cheers! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - chrissix666 - 2019-02-20 Your screenshots are convincing and I do not want to contradict you in any case. The user @Angelinas has tried a few times over the SkinHelper to retrieve, without success. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=301497&pid=2766658#pid2766658 (Both, SkinHelper and Universal Movie Scraper are linked to OMDB) As it seems it works on the Universal Movie Scraper. Okay, you could really alienate PlotOutline for that. Ever thought of scrape everything in Kodi in the Universal Movie Scraper and then simply export the Kodi Database to .nfo.

I replaced the video with an updated version with a bunch of corrections.One question: I followed the video's instructions completely but when I started rescraping my movies for the renaming process it did rename everything but left a copy of the old misnamed folder. For instance: Zardoz (1974) and a folder (old one) Zardoz - 1974. I cancelled the process because I don't want to have to delete over a 1000 slightly different but really duplicate folders. Am I missing something? This can't really be correct. EDIT: It seems to be deleting the old renamed folders now after I restarted the program.

I always close down my folder when I need to auto rename them, as I assume it won't be able to rename/delete folders if I have them open/selected or have one of the files inside them open. However, if this is a bug that you have and Media Companion 3.5 for some reason can't delete your folders, it should be fairly straight forward to delete them, yourself. Maybe you can search or sort your folders by date or size and delete all the old or empty ones in one go? If you want to be sure it works. maybe try creating a test folder with 3-5 movies and scrape/rename them and see if it works as intended.

I replaced the video with an updated version with a bunch of corrections. A really insightful and informative video for newcomers. Especially the shown setup with the extended ratings is certainly very useful. This is not completely conclusive for many beginners at first Since newbies find most of the initial difficulties always the same. Here are a few things that are worth a tutorial also:

Manually deleting them by date doesn't work because all folders show the new date, how (in Windows 10) would I organize by size or some other method to delete them? (this would still be a manual deletion nightmare)(2019-02-22, 08:45)melons2 Wrote: One question: I followed the video's instructions completely but when I started rescraping my movies for the renaming process it did rename everything but left a copy of the old misnamed folder.

What would you recommend? 2. Where can I see parts 2 & 3 of your video tutorial? EDIT: It seems to be deleting the old renamed folders now after I restarted the program.
