I've got a quick question. I've reviewed the documentation and I've searched through this thread and the last one looking for an answer but I wasn't able to find once, hence why I'm here.

When I do a Search New on my library to pickup the titles that haven't yet been scraped, I find that several of the items on my list error out stating that they can't be found on TMDB. Is there a way to get MC to prompt me when it finds an object it can't identify, so I can manually identify the film and have it scrape it properly? Or just a way I can add the raw item into the library so I can scrape it using the MC tools?

From your post I see your using XBMC TMDB scraper in Media Companion.

TMDB is very sensitive to mis-spelt/grammar issue causing it to not identity the correct movie.

What is needed is to log what movies are not scraped. We do not want to pause the auto-scraping of movies while attempting to change one movie, at a time.

With the built-in IMDB scraper, errors are almost non-existent as we use Google to auto-correct movie titles before we get the IMDB id from the results. It still gives the odd miss-match, but its almost 98% accurate.

Now, with movies that can't be found on IMDB, we have the Genre field set to "Problem" and its very simple to filter out which movies didn't scrape correctly, and the user can manually 'Change Movie" (now either by IMDB or TMDB), or they can use Explorer to change the title of the video file and 'Search New' again.

With this in minds, it should be possible to log "problem" in Genre field for movies not found, when scraping with XBMC TMDB scraper.

And I'm currently working in this scraper function in MC, adding Movie Rename and download Actor Images, including when you 'Change Movie' by TMDB. So I'll look into some sort of error catching, creating an empty nfo.

Can't promise it'll be ready for the next release, but should be in for the following one.

I'm having similar issues, not sure I'm reading this right there is a "problem" genre, or will be? I look around a bit and didn't find it. Along those same lines I have several movies that simply don't show up, I'm seeing 111 titles while I have 119 in my movie folder, and 150 out of 190 on another folder. All movies are in individual folders with the IMDB title copied exactly. One of witch is a Harry Potter movie which is on both IMDB and TMDB. I added the IMDB ID in hopes of helping some files but no luck, which may be because I'm using the XBMC scraper. I thought I saw an option to change from TMDB to IMDB but was unable to find it. I tried batch re-scrape, rebuilding the NFO, all no help.

I have been using MC for about 24 hours and am some what new to the world of XBMC and HTPC. I'm just realizing the need for an external media manager and I really like this program, so many of my issues might be user induced.

Reading through the forum I remember a suggestion for deleting or changing current fanart/NFO in folders, kind of like a "clean up" I think this would be helpful for some. I've managed to pollute my folders pretty quick through trial and error with other managers (likely part of my original problem).

I also read about disc art.png on/about page 89. I believe some skins, Aeon nox for one, are now now supporting these. I also did not see any mention of logos, is that something you would consider? I know fanart.tv has a huge selection of logos and clear art.

OK, I'm rambling. Really just wanted to say thanks for the work you do on this. And see if I might have missed something getting the rest of my files to show up any help for a beginner would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Edit - Problem is getting better as I clean up some folders, refresh and re-scrape.
