Except this time, the 2 dominant movies are "Citizen Kane" and "Django Unchained". Out of about 750 movies, MC labeled about 400 as Citizen Kane, and 250 were labeled Django unchained. The rest seem to either be correct, or unidentified. It seems that every time I start over, the results get worse.

Hi Matt, check your PMs. Huey.

Whatever I do, once I add some movies with MC and connect my (USB) disk to xbmc, it doesnt see them.
The only way is to ask it to "Scan for new Content", and at that point it starts "Scanning the movies using the Movie Database" .
But I already scanned ALL OF THEM!

what am I missing?

XBMC won't see the new movies till they are added to the library, unless you go to files. In XBMC, you need to set the content for your USB HDD to Movie, but check under that title for 'Local Information'. This mean XBMC will scrape the local nfo and artwork only.

That 'Local Information' may be Gotham only, or in Frodo 12.3 (when release, and yes, there is talk about 12.3)

Hope that helps some.

going into "Change Content" for the movie folder, I see as scraper "the moviedb", and in options:
1) movies are in separate folders (ON)
2) scan recursively (ON)
3) selected folder contains a single video (off)
4) exclude path from library updates (off)

I dont know what to do -

BTW I'm on raspbmc, runnning XBMC 12.2

• Option to get missing data from IMDB when scraping using XBMC's TMDB scraper
  
• 2 New filters - Filter by Tab, and Scrape Error filter.
  
• Alternative Movie versions. 3D, Directors-cut, Extended-Edition, and user custom entries.

1) How to setup TV Shows on multiple locations (HDDs). In my setup I had to start the new season of a show on a second HDD. When exported from XBMC it creates two NFOs in both locations and replicates the artwork as well (XBMC handles it perfectly for now). In MC no matter what I do it duplicates the show and the episodes within. Please let me know if there is a solution for handling multiple seasons of the same show on different HDDs.

2) With regards to movie trailers, I have noticed that URL is included in the advanced nfo menu. However, is it possible to automatically check my library for invalid trailer URLs and update them? Is it also possible to play the trailer from the URL? If not are those features on the radar for future updates?

Thank you in advance for your help.

To answer your questions:

1. Media Companion does not support split locations of a Tv Show. I don't believe it is something that can easily be added to MC. It would be interesting to know how XBMC handles importing these duplicate tvshow.nfos, whether two show titles are in the Tv Show list. I would suggest shuffling your data around so you can keep all episodes of a Show together.

2. MC won't support playing a trailer from the URL, but only if that trailer is downloaded for the selected movie. Currently MC only checks if the URL is valid on Scrape, and if the user selects to download the trailer. Persistent URL checking was disabled as this drastically slowed MC down when switching between movies. The work-around is to use Batch Rescraper Wizard and select 'Trailer'. Let this run and it will check each movie's URL is valid, if not, MC will get a new URL.
