I recently got a Nvidia Shield and replaced my media computer. I was using Frodo, but now I use Kodi.
I scraped the current database using local NFO only because I was afraid to rescrape everything. Besides, the files worked with Frodo. But some TV shows were not showing up.
The Kodi adviser had me delete my old NFO files for those shows and scrape with Kodi. The deleted NFO files were pretty old. It worked. Then he advised to use Kodi and not Media Companion in the future.
My habit has been to use Media companion on my desktop and then copy to a backup and to my media data base. This is easier for me than copying to the data base, scraping with Kodi, then copying the data base file to a backup. As to Kodi vs Media Companion, is one any better that the other? I am using an old version of Media Companion (3.68) because it doesn't seem broken. So I have not updated it.
