Question: Does Media Companion support command line functions?
Example: I run a program called TVrename. With the program I can create a batch file to run the following command line.
tvrename.exe /renamingcheck /renamingdo /missingcheck /fnocheck /fnodo /quit
This will look in my DL folder for new tv episodes, rename them as per my settings and then move the file to the correct folder. All without the program actually opening up on the screen. (if I add /hide)
I'd like to be able to have Media Companion automatically run after these functions have been performed to scrape the new shows that have been added.

Hi
I love MC. Couldn't live without..
I sniffed the behaviour of the file access of MC and I have a suggestion to speed things up:
Let the user select (Options) if he wants to include "-trailer" files or not.
I noticed that MC searches for all sorts of media files (.avi .divx .xvid .mov .mkv etc) containing "-trailer" as a suffix, which it apparently won't find 90% of the time.
My stupid NAS is the bottleneck of my network, I know, and its Samba server is kinda old.
But still, when I select a movie in MC, it takes 0.2 seconds to search and load the fanart, 0.1 sec to search and load the .nfo, 3.7 sec to search for a non-existing -trailer.* file and 0.1 seconds to search and load the .tbn .
That's 3.7 seconds too long...
You could also include a selectable filetype list for general file searching. Add a few checkboxes within the Options Dialog containing the different media file extensions.
Myself, I only use .avi and .mkv files in my folders. So I'm not interested in MC browsing for all the other formats.
Again, thanks for your work.
Cheers
Bunts
Edit:
I just tried adding dummy "-trailer.avi" files to my folder: it took only 0.5 sec to display the data in MC.

Small issue. With new versions when I can my library it will also scan my subs that are in rars.
For example lets say I have the movie 300 in a folder.
z://movies/300
I have the subs in a sub folder
z://movies/300/subs/300-dm.rar or something
Possible to make an option to turn of rar scanning?

Hey Billy. I'm trying to find a link to download the software, can you please provide it? Your original post's link doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to use a black for my background color but can't since the text is blank. Is it possible to change the text color to white or yellow?
Thanks!
