In movie preferences, what is the difference between selecting TMDB XBMC sraper with all options in "scrape the following from IMDB" selected and "MC's IMDB scraper"?
The only difference I can see is that with MC's IMDB you can scrape aspect ratio from IMDB
Kodi/XBMC uses TheMovieDb site to scrape a movies info, with some fallback to IMDb for Ratings. XBMC use to use IMDb for everything, but this was dropped a very long time ago.
In Media Companion, we allow some cross-over data. More that the Kodi/XBMC Scraper does. Many users have requested getting specific info from IMDb instead of from TMDb, some things like ratings, Also Know As titles etc. So these extra options were added to MC.
Other users, just stick with TMDb data. The choice is yours.
In the next release, which I am busy working on to get ready for release, has the option to get Aspect Ratio from IMDb added.
