at the moment i do the following when adding a whole new season:
1. right click on show and "scan for new episodes"
2. scrape each image type of the season itself manually
3. click on each new eposide, choose "load information" (i then have to select the show each time)
i find this quite cumbersome.
the only quicker alternative i found is to select the show itself and choose "load information". but this seems to re-scrape everything from this show. information and pictures at show-level, season-level and all episodes (both new and old). this overwrites all manual changes i made at show-level or for all previously existing seasons (e.g. manually selecting posters).
is there any way i can batch-scrape information and images for all new seasons and episodes and leaving already existing pictures and information unchanged?
Hmm, I don't know if I can describe accurately how I use ME but here goes:
Select the show that has new episodes (I have ME set to scan my shows at start-up)
Select the show (not a season or an episode)
Choose scrape in the top left corner of the toolbar
Make sure that in the lower left corner of the new dialog "Update new episodes" is selected
Select the appropriate show in the dialog (if applicable)
Wait until ME downloads all info including episode thumbs
Presto
I think the key is the bold part of my step-by-step
Note: If I add a complete season I also have to select the posters and such afterwards.
