So are you saying it's normal that when I rescrape a single movie that was incorrectly set to "V for vendetta" it still ends up as that? I wouldn't think that imdb limits etc would be happening when I'm rescraping just 1 movie

If you re-scrape, it uses the original IMDBid number from the nfo, which is set to V for Vendetta. You have to Change Movie or delete the nfo and allow MC to scrape the movie from scratch.

Ah OK, my mistake on what "rescrape" means then. It would be good if there was a command that could operate on multiple shows at once and do the automated discovery/search again, like what happens the first time you add an item to the MC library.

Also FYI for a bug report, I found that using "Change Movie" doesnt actually fix up the extrafanart and extrathumbs data that I configured my MC to grab. So for example on an item that had the wrong show even after I select "Change Movie" and select a different one, the nfo tbn and posters etc are updated, but the old extrafan and extrathumb data from the wrong movie are still there. Even when rescraping, these items still exist. I actually had to delete the extra* directories, then do a rescrape to get the correct extras there. In the couple of cases I looked at, the wrong movie had say 5 fanarts and the new movie only had 1, but it wasnt the case that the first 1 was updated and the other 4 left behind, it really seemed that all 5 were still from the old/wrong movie. As I said, I had to actually completely remove those extra* directories before MC would go off and get the correct "extras" for those items.

Oh and one final suggestion

In terms of deleting the NFO (and other metadata) from all these incorrect/problem movies, this is reasonably cumbersome to do since it isnt purely on an alphabetical basis and they are scattered around all over the place in my folder structure. Yet I can quite easily select them in the Media Companion GUI using the filtering and searching tools etc. It would be awesome if you added a command in Media Companion to "clean all metadata" of whatever movies are selected (or when removing an item from the library it has an option to remove the metadata as well). This would delete anything that media companion created - NFO file, TBN file, fanart, posters, extra thumbs, extra fanart, etc...

As it stands im not quite sure how I will clean these 1000 V for Vendetta nfo files and extra fans/thumbs. I may just have to delete all metadata from all 2000 movies, or perhaps some creating grepping and whatnot will build me a list of things I want deleted. So yeah, having an option in MC to remove all metadata for the selected movies would be fantastic for this situation
