I guess i used the wrong hyperbole here. I really didn't mean for you to take this as a personal attack on your extremely appreciated work!
If you remember just a few days ago, i asked how i could use Universal Scraper with EMM. That should tell you that i obviously think it is THE superior scraper.

Yes maybe i should do this if i were the one writing the plot summary. I am not comfortable with copying someone else's synopsis and passing it off as my own on tmdb. It's one thing to state that such and such actor is in a movie but plagirizing the plot summary i prefer to save that to my private nfo. Who knows, that could even get tmdb in legal trouble if some writer at Allmovie stumbles upon it.
What about for french movies? I get a french plot summary... what happens to some who scrapes this but doesn't read french? They rely on the subs to watch the movie but the displayed plot is kinda useless to them...

- I like my French movies to have the plot written in French
- I like my foreign language movies to have the title written : English Title (Original Title)
- I want to be able to pick my poster. I don't like the ones that have been cleaned to remove dates, cast and other info.
- I want to be able to pick my Fanart. I prefer a fanart that looks different than the poster

I have to admit i have never tried this but can you copy and paste text in XBMC?
Also, lets say i add 20 Korean Movies. I know their English titles but not the Korean one. How do i know i added the right one and how easy is that to go and change to "English Title (Korean Title)"? I usually cut and paste my folder name into the title field...
For the posters, i pick the one i like in the best resolution possible... Does XBMC show the resolution when picking? No sarcasm i really don't know if it does.
When exporting to nfos, does it only do the ones that don't have an nfo or do i have to export the whole library?
Can i refresh only one part of all movies with XBMC like only scrape for the plot or rating?
All these questions are in good faith... not trying to put down anything or anyone...
Anyway i don't think there is any point in debating what is better because like any Windows user, i have my preferred ways of doing things and if it's working for me, nobody can force me to do it a specific way. If i wanted that i would use a Mac
Lotsa people replied with their reasons why they PREFER using a media manager so obviously there is a market for it. I am sticking to my guns and declaring that the person that comes out with a frontend for Universal Scraper and all XBMC Scrapers will be hailed as a hero...
Now if you'll excuse me while i download "Learn C# in 24 hours"
