OK I tried all that and it didn't work.
I unchecked the "use xbmc scraper" and re-scraped all and it worked this time.

Is it possible to store all trailers in one location? I only ask because sometimes I am not sure what I want to watch. So I simply search "trailers" via explorer and then grab all and move onto my movie player. Its primitive but works until I see what I want to watch. Would be nice if everything was in one place to begin with.

Scraping music videos is a pain no matter what scraper is used so I can't criticize that part but I do have one request that I believe would be an improvement.
I was quite surprized to find that IMDB actually has a lot of music videos listed. Only problem is I have to scrape them as movies then do some editing of the nfo to convert it from movie type to music video format. Usually it's just a matter of adding the <album> tag and changing the first <actor> tag to <artist> and optionally the top and bottom tags from <movie> to <musicvideo>. I also manually add the Wiki info and use it fill in the missing fields like <studio> and <album> that IMDB doesn't normally have. That's all well and good since it beats creating a nfo from scratch by hand. It speeds things up to use an editor that can do batch file editing.
So, what I'm asking is if IMDB could be added as scraping source option in music video section?

I will leave it unchecked then from now on.
A great program....
About the only thing I am hopeful for the future is an option to re-scrape fanart even if fanart exists.
Thanks...

Sure, here are a few examples along with respective IMBD ID and link:
Run DMC and Aerosmith: Walk This Way - tt6722960
Aerosmith: Janie's Got a Gun - tt6663460
Alice Cooper: I'm Eighteen - tt9893934
Devo: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - tt12063820
If you look at the Aerosmith page for example you'll see 41 listed under "Actor" and a couple more listed under "Self".
The one advantage to scraping music videos as movies is the actors are scraped and added. This is handy because as of Kodi 19 the actors in music videos are shown (the same as movies) on the Video Info screen if the skin supports it.

As for the naming, If I recall correctly, the format should be only <artist> - <title>.<extn>
Any other info will confuse MC. Again, this section needs a lot more work, so cleaning the filename is one I need to sort for the next release.
As for pulling the info from Wiki, MC is extracting from the HTML page, and as Wiki make changes to their layout, we miss some data sometimes.
Can you give some examples so I can do more testing?
