Hey man! Hope things are going well. Quick question/request:  How difficult would it be to port the Naming/Renaming option from Movie Preferences to TV Preferences? Not gonna lie, would be really helpful in cleaning up my series if I  could move them to an Alpha folder like with movies. I think it should work independently of RegEx, wouldn't it? Anyway, just an idea. Thanks for keeping things alive, mate!

Have been trying to get this working, but at present not getting much progress. It will come to TV, but it may be a while.

I have a profile issue

I have two profiles; one is startup and the second is default

Startup profile works well.  When I switch profiles to the default, initially all my movies are listed in the main browser movie tab with art etc.  But any attempt to filter the movie list results in nothing being shown.  I have to do a "refresh" and then the filters work.

Going into preferences and switching the startup profile to the default one and restarting brings up the default profile as expected, and now it works without having to refresh.

Sound like when switching profiles, the filter data is not being updated like a refresh does.
I will check into this.

I can't work out how the fanart is automatically selected. What I’m looking for is a high quality image without any text. Often lower ranked images are selected from TMDB and nothing from Fanart.tv despite what I have configured in the settings.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Late response I know, but MC has no method to determine if the image contains text.
Which is why there is the manual method of User selecting the fanart they prefer.

MC will attempt to get the selected image resolution from your selected Preferences.
Check Preferences -> Common Settings
And select the preferred image resolution.
If that resolution is not available, MC will select the next lowest resolution image. Please note: MC can downscale images, but will not upscale.

Hey Rob.  Was wondering if there is a way to get extra posters and fanart without rescraping everything for the movie?  Thanks.

Disregard, found it.

[vbat99]

Awesome, was gonna suggest Batch rescrape Wizard, just select two or more movies, then run Batch Rescrape Wizard selecting Extra artwork etc.
Cheers

Still on wish list for home movies:
<premiered> element in lieu of <year>
<uniqueid> element with a notional type like "home" and set to "default"

Premiered added for Home Movies.

Unable to add UniqueId with type "home" as home is not a valid value in Kodi.

Related to tvshow naming, I currently have all my episodes files named S01E01 and would like to name the files to:

Lie to Me (2009) S01E01.

Can MC help me rename all files?

Thanks
