Been a long time user of MediaElch that was the most hands on and easy to use media manager around until TheTVDB finally went through with their move to the new API and page layout a few days ago.
So went out searching for a replacement and found Ember and set it up adding my sources to it and clicked OK.
Became a little skeptical when the loading of my files took so long since the only thing I expected Ember to do was populating the database with my files so I could get to work.
With a bad feeling in my stomach I opened up one of my TV show folders just to realize Ember had begun downloading season fanart, which isn't a big problem since it's just to delete them, but it had also downloaded and replaced every single season poster and banner, and not just deleting them to the bin, it completely wrote them over!
Like WTF!?
There wasn't even a warning or a single hint of that this would be done so years of work finding and edit banners, fanart and posters to fit my need and even making my own stuff, completely vanished.
Is this really how the program is intended to work?
Any way to turn this crazy behavior off?
If not, what other media manager should I choose instead?
