I have 2 movies, Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone & Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone Extended.
The 1st one scrapes fine, but I can't get the second one to scrape with that title. It keeps returning
Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone Extended. Now I assume that's because TMDB only have the 1st title available.

This text passage told me that the basic understanding of how scraping data work is still a little catching up and a few things were still misunderstood on your side.

Movie version handling is already very well developed by MediaCompanion and works very well. It is actually very well described in the MediaCompanion Wiki, but I assume you already read it before you posting.

For clarification:

No matter how many versions of a movie exist, there is only one entry (ID) in the scraper database.

That means if you have a second or third version of a movie, you will always get the same data as the original version. The data is only a duplicate. To make a different version from the original version distinguishable for you, you have to edit it yourself. (Version suffix for file and movie title)

Basic Way:

If your file is called "Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone Extended" MediaCompanion is searching vor exact this title, believes but extended belongs to the title and therefore finds nothing.
Just click on "Change Movie -> IMDB -> Search the movie in searchline -> Click on it -> ok -> then its scraping the Movie (the original version cause we learned there exist no data of other versions)
Then add to the title your version suffix manual (or/and also in originaltitle and sorttitle) -> done.

A other way:

Call your movie file first the same name as original version, scrape it. It will find the movie cause the version suffix is no longer a hindrance to matching. Then rename file as you want and the same name to the .nfo. 
Click refresh on MediaCompanion -> done
(Then the same steps as above, add to the title your version suffix manual (or/and also in originaltitle and sorttitle)

The way for professionals:

Media Companion has already considered all this:
Make a list of all the version suffixes you have ever come across or will be accommodated.
Then type in there:



and there



From now on the movie version suffixes will be ignored on scrape process.
(Then the same steps as above, add to the title your version suffix manual (or/and also in originaltitle and sorttitle)

More tips to differentiate between versions:

-> Moviefile version suffix and Movietitle version suffix hope is now declared.

-> Furthermore, the film lengths also play a role. The length can be scanned via the database or via the file. If you scrape across the database, all lengths will always be the same, only if you scrape the length over the file will you get different data. (Furthermore, there are movies different PAL or NTSC versions what the length can be variable anyway, so I recommend the length of the file.

-> There are cases where different versions of films sometimes show actors more or less. There is no solution for that. Either you live with it, or edit the actor manually into the .nfo and place an actor thumb. The same applies to different release dates.
