Been using this app for a very long time. It has been my go to and is the best in my opinion. I generally keep all my movies in the same folder and not within folders, but when you have a folder that was upwards of 11,000 files in it, I feel it was causing a performance issue. Since I am in the process of redoing my media server by replacing it with a newer system (I5 vs C2D), I decided to play with my backup of media drive and completely clean and reorganize all my media. If I don't like it, I can just connect my regular media drive and have everything as I had it before.
Cleaned everything in the backup library, and have begun the process. VIMM has already placed all media in separate folders, and I am having it do a full re-scrape of everything, letting VIMM get all the posters, backdrops (which I never scraped), clear art, disc images, etc. that I typically have never used.
I have about 2500+ movies in the one media folder I am working on. Trying to see if it can get through them all. If not, I'll break the folder into sub folders of around 100 items in each and try again.
I have it running on a late 2012 Imac mini I5 with 16gb ram and running a fresh and fully updated install of Mac OS High Sierra.
So far It is chugging away at the media downloading - seems to be able to scrape a file in about a minute. Will see if it errors out at some point. hopefully not but either way, I'll work around it and just keep at it until it is done. I expect it will take a couple of days to re-scrape everything. then I get to load it up into a fresh install of Kodi, and see how it did. Usually I'll have to change a poster here or there when it is all loaded as sometimes I'll end up with a foreign one or one wont match.
