First of all fantastic piece of software. Super slick and fast. And best of all it works on Linux

Thanks :-)

The movie sets feature seem to have a few issues.

Yes. Movie sets had only poor support by MediaElch in the past. I can't say when I'll get to rework them, though.

A couple of small(?) requests:
- would it be possible to have a user definable "Folders to exclude" (similar to the Words To Exclude From Media Names in the Settings), so that these folders don't show up on the movie/tv items list. This could be used to filter out folders named like "extras" or "featurettes"
- would it be possible to add a search/filter text box for the movies?

On the top right, there is a filter menu. Is that what you mean?
We also have a "Quick Open" menu (though only for movies), see https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-bl...ch-v2.8.8/ :-)

Maybe our "advancedsettings.xml" file is what you want? See
- https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-do...d-settings
- https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/blob/...#L228-L239

The advancesettings.xml file started out as an equivalent for Kodi's advancesettings.xml. But it's now also a place where I put new settings I want to try out. And if more and more users want them, I try to add them to the UI.

Does MediaElch supports Parsing NFO for tv series?

No, that's not supported. Since it's not a valid XML file, we won't be able to parse it.

Dohh! Can't believe I missed that. That's it. Thanks

And that makes things even easier. Good stuff.

Yep. That does the trick

No, that's not supported. Since it's not a valid XML file, we won't be able to parse it.

I understand and respect if this is not something you're looking to implement. I don't want to sound entitled or anything.
But just to clarify, in case I was misunderstood, in terms of code logic it doesn't look like it would require much beyond what is already being done. Something along these lines:
1) open tvshow.nfo as usual
2) if the last line is an url save it for later use
3) update the string where the xml file was read to strip away that url line and then parse the xml as usual
4) whoever calls TmdbApi::loadSeason (which I couldn't find yet) would pass an optional parameter which would be that url, which would be scraped/parsed to figure out the actual season url

In terms of parsing the season itself it doesn't look like it would require any change since they have the same layout

In any case, thanks for this amazing app!

I have minor request.

As stated you disabled theTvDb because they went to a paid API.

However, I have a portable install of "MediaElch 2.8.13-dev - Coridian" and theTvDb still works fine.

I was wondering if you might enable a toggle with a disclaimer for it to be reenabled as a full scrapper?

Reason I ask is that I keep a few YouTube series that IMDB and theMovieDB does not have information for, but theTvDb does.

I slept a few days on it. I think it would make sense to support _parsing_ it. But I don't know if I'll support writing it.
See https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/1551

While I can understand this request, I don't intend to add it again, also not with an option.
TheTvDb has announced (multiple times) that they will shut down their old API. I don't remember what the last deadline was that they announced, though.
