First, thanks for writing this program, I'm using it to build NFO files for later KODI import.

I organize my media in a way that KODI and most other media managers have trouble with and at least with change movie I can fix the ones it can't figure out.   Out of the ones I've tried, yours gets it right more often than the rest.

My general structure is:

Code:

GENRE/GROUP (or) TITLE/YEAR-TITLE

(e.g. Comedy/Cabin Boy/1994-Cabin Boy)

There can be modifiers after TITLE like (Subtitled) etc.

For some films that need a 'forced order' (like the Star Wars) films, it gets more complex: 

Code:

#-YEAR-TITLE

(e.g. 04-1977-A New Hope)


Issues:

• I have a lot of movies I've amassed over the years that I've converted from DVD to MP4 files.    I've noticed if there's more than around 200 films in a given folder a couple things happen.  1) Sometimes it will assign a random imdbid to a few dozen films   2) It will just do the "This movie could not be identified" entry.
  
• If I use any batch rescrape options, regardless of settings, it will remove any existing art.    So I can't use the batch rescrape options.   Instead I have to exit MediaCompanion, delete all the "This movie could not be identified" NFOs (I wrote a perl script to do this), delete all of MediaCompanion's cache files and then have it look for new movies.    ( For the case where it assigns some random imdbid, I have an option in the same perl script to remove those as well. )
  
• It appears to not be scraping the IMDB plot keywords at all.
  

Requests:

• I'd like to request that there be an option that if it can't identify a film to just not make the NFO at all.   
  
• I'd like to request an option to disable Media Companion's cache and database entirely.   I'm just using this to build NFO files, not as a manager.
  
• I'd like to see options for doing the export CSV as to what fields to include and what to exclude.
  
• I'd like to see an option to scrape ALL certifications for a film but only display the one selected as the primarily in the movie preferences (and if that isn't available, the next in the priority list).
  
• A useful option would be to grab all runtimes for a given film (to identify extended, director's cuts, etc) and for bonus points to compare that to the local media's length (to see what version you've got) and also to alert if the runtime does not match the scrape source (i.e. cut version, etc).    (Would need to also note the media's frame rate, often for PAL films are just sped up by 4%).
