Hi MANswers

Welcome to Media Companion.
I'll try and answer your questions as best as possible, but, I suggest you scrape your movies in batches, maybe 100 at a time.

1. MC doesn't offer a choice for which movie or similar movies are available. Instead, we believe most user's have named their movies pretty accurately.
If a Mis-Scrape occurs, then it is easy to select the incorrect movie, select the 'Change Movie' tab, and search for the right movie. Once TMDB (of IMDB) has the correct movie info displayed, click the 'Go' button, and the movie will be rescrape correctly.
It does happen occasionally, but MC is pretty good at getting the right movie.

My suggestion would be to disable all movie filters, except for the General Filter. This filter's sub options, allow you to easily find mis-scraped movies, ie: Scrape Error, or Duplicates.

2. Yes, in XBMC, darn it, Kodi, changes your scraper to 'Local Information Only'. This will then use local nfo and artwork instead of download from the Net.

3. If you mean in Kodi, then no, it won't overwrite the nfo created by Media Companion, unless, in Kodi, you Export your library to individual files, in which case, Kodi asks you if you want to overwrite old files. I've tried to get MC to read all the data that Kodi Exports, so these files are compatible with Media Companion if you do Export your library.

4. You can disable download of artwork in Media Companion, but note the artwork you download must be compliant to how Kodi requires it to be named, so it can be associated with the right movie. You'd need to check the Kodi WIki to be sure, but I believe if the movies are in individual folders, then <moviename>.-poster.jpg or even poster.jpg in the folder is acceptable.

5. CD/Disk Artwork is from Fanart.Tv. You can set this to Auto-scrape from Fanart.Tv or manually by selecting the movie, then changing to Fanart.Tv Tab and downloading the images you require.

Hope this is of some help.
