Also, Achilles thank u so much for the movie progress xmls I still haven’t gotten to testing it yet but I appreciate it a lot I will let u know as soon as I implement it and if it works.

I have a question though, since u guys are working on TMDBHelper integration now can you consider adding support for multiple season view in Bingie episodes view with addons? Well really just TMdB Helper but by default it extends to any addon too official or not. Jurialmunkey who made tmdbh, also implemented this in his own skins!

EDIT: Can confirm the xmls work! thank you!!!

Any Suggestion ?

And also I want RT,TVDB, Metacritic , Trakt ratings for TV Shows without tvdb scrapper , is there any Universal TV Shows scrapper or similar just like UMS ? right now I am getting imdb , tmdb only ratings for TV Shows .

First of all nothing is perfect in this world.
Second do you use any tool to scrape your media or just rely on Kodi ?
Third how much heartache / headache are you willing to take on ?

If you know the answers then let me share my experiences with you.
Like many others I use a scraping tool to customise all my media. Selecting artwork to custom nfo's .Ember Media Manager is my preferred poisoned chalice ! its the best media manager IMO. However its not perfect YET and Does NOT scrape any ratings ....this feature has been requested and will (hopefully ) be soon available.
I have tried tinymediamanager, mediaelch & recently Media companion 3beta.
Media Companion 3 beta downloads Ratings from MC, TVDB & RT but for me personally its nfo writing seriously messed up my whole library.
So I had to redo my Whole library again using ember.
I guess you can install any or all of them but use only few media files as tests that way you will not screw up your library like I did.
Let me know if I could be of any help.
I recommend Ember... check out the forum thread here !
Cheers ! Smile

For me it was the other way around lol Ember Media Manager would not even scan my shows or movies into the program, when in the same format Kodi picked it up fine, I ended up getting and eventually buying Tiny Media Manager, and it picked up my folder instantly and now I have been using that.

If I recall correctly I started using media companion in 2015 or 2016. Thats the time I also dabbled in Media Browser. Things were not working out for me hence I kept looking & eventually found Kodi & Ember. I have been using ember since 2010 & never looked back.
I am very used to Ember , its GUI and I have set it to run as command line auto scraping everything. Only for very few certain tricky media I have to manually edit it otherwise its all automated for me .
I have utmost respect for all the other media managers : tiny/elch & companion. I would urge everyone to try & see whichever is suitable for them.
MC 3 is currently scraping all the ratings that we all need into the nfo. So whoever is using nfo's can right now get all these ratings via MC3.

Hey There.

Can someone explain me the benefits to normal Bingie? THX.

You need to download Kodi texture tool.

Alright thank you, I got a question for anyone here that uses TMDBHelper for Library Integration. If you have any shows that are currently airing, when new episodes come out do you manually refresh details for each show when they come out? Is there a way to automate this so when the next episode comes out instead of being blank with just the episode number and no plot, when it gets added to library, the details would refresh
