For XBMC, it is best to change the content from Movies to None, then when asked if you want to remove all items from this parth from the XBMC library, select No. Then, change content back to Movies and scraper to Local Information Only, and XBMC should then ask Do you want to refresh all items, and select Yes.
That Should update the library with the new nfo information.
But, I know that XBMC can be a fickle child some times, so you might have to do a couple of things to fix the video database. Either, and this is extreme. Delete the videodb file in your userdata folder for XBMC, and the Thumbnail folder. But, this will also affect artwork for Tv Series, and Music.
Alternatively, look at Milhouse texturecache script. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373
Awesome script that will force update XBMC/Kodi library with local artwork, including cdart/disk art.
For movies or video's that don't exist in TMDB or IMDB, in Media Companion you can right-click the movie mis-scraped, and select Edit Movie (Alternative). Then click the button Blank nfo, and you have a clean slate. Fill in the form and you have a custom movie nfo created. BTW, small bug in here when you click Blank, pops up a Oops error window, but just click continue and your good to go. (fixed in the next release out very soon).
"disable extra frodo thumbs and artwork' is a personal choice. If you don't what extrathumbs or extrafanart, just de-select Download Extra Fanart/Thumbs option in movie preferences.
The extra frodo thumbs urls are still stored in the Movie's nfo, so you can access this later.
Didn't know of the you-tube video of Media Companion, but there is the Documentation on Media Companion's site. Thought it is a little out-dated. I suggest either trying some of the functions, and get a feel for how you want the artwork, nfo information created for your movies.
Keep asking questions, I'll do my best to answer them.
