1) How to setup TV Shows on multiple locations (HDDs). In my setup I had to start the new season of a show on a second HDD. When exported from XBMC it creates two NFOs in both locations and replicates the artwork as well (XBMC handles it perfectly for now). In MC no matter what I do it duplicates the show and the episodes within. Please let me know if there is a solution for handling multiple seasons of the same show on different HDDs.

2) With regards to movie trailers, I have noticed that URL is included in the advanced nfo menu. However, is it possible to automatically check my library for invalid trailer URLs and update them? Is it also possible to play the trailer from the URL? If not are those features on the radar for future updates?

Thank you in advance for your help.

To answer your questions:

1. Media Companion does not support split locations of a Tv Show. I don't believe it is something that can easily be added to MC. It would be interesting to know how XBMC handles importing these duplicate tvshow.nfos, whether two show titles are in the Tv Show list. I would suggest shuffling your data around so you can keep all episodes of a Show together.

2. MC won't support playing a trailer from the URL, but only if that trailer is downloaded for the selected movie. Currently MC only checks if the URL is valid on Scrape, and if the user selects to download the trailer. Persistent URL checking was disabled as this drastically slowed MC down when switching between movies. The work-around is to use Batch Rescraper Wizard and select 'Trailer'. Let this run and it will check each movie's URL is valid, if not, MC will get a new URL.

Thank you. I still can't add to your reputation

1. XBMC does handle split locations of a Tv Show properly without duplicating the TV show. I have no idea how it's done but it is in their manual as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

2. I will play around with the Batch Rescraper. Is there an option to choose HD trailers?

3. Just to report something...the program gives an error/crashes from time to time and needs to be restarted when using the movie search field. I am trying to analyze what kind of searches trigger it but no luck so far. It just seems random to me for now because when I restart the program and do the exact same search it works. Never had double crash for now.
