I am using the default The Movie DB Movie scraper and noticed some problems where cast and director info went missing from recently scanned movies.
After that I decided to nuke my Windows Kodi and reinstall, which is kind of my test bed for the real one on another device.

I know it's probably impossible to keep the matches stable (so that once matched would mean forever matched) because data on sites also keeps changing.
So I'm now trying the new Python The Movie DB scraper and that seems to be working better, actually! So I might switch to that.
Also, side idea: there should be some more standard/simple way for me to add IMDB / TheMovieDB ID into the .mkv files than this:
