Hi folks! Does anyone use this in conjunction with Emby? If so, what's the use-case?

I use it in conjunction with Emby. My use case is to make sure that movie.nfo exists with the correct IMDBID in it. The one time "anchor" creation lets me use any front end I want with no risk of ever losing these lookups or having bad matches. No tool gets it 100% so for me the key is for tools is to get as many of the easy ones done as effortlessly as possible and present the hard one to me to manually decide.

For what it is worth I unusually strip TMM down so it creates only the cover and a minimal XML. I then strip the cover and convert the XML to a flat non XML URL only nfo. I do this because I want the front ends to manage the freshness of the scrape data directly not TMM (also TMM supports reading URL only nfo but not writing them - like most tools/guis)

That's really helpful, thanks! Can you (deferring to my absolute noobness) dumb down your process even more so that I can try to follow the same? Thanks so much?
