I just installed and started using MediaElch. Like it so far but have two questions. I'd like to keep my nfo's pretty clean in general and when I use MediaElch it takes down way more info than I need.

1) It seems to download the full cast & crew from the moviedb. Is there any way to limit this to maybe 4-5 actors, or ideally the top billed cast only (which the moviedb has separated), something like that? Several of my test movies have even downloaded uncredited cast members, which doesn't seem necessary. I know I can remove manually from the actors tab, but that would take a long time to do for every movie.

2) The nfo's are linking to a ton of images at themoviedb, they are all in the thumb tags. I'm downloading the relevant artwork to the folder (banner, clearart, disc, fanart, landscape, logo, poster). How can I toggle off all these linked images? When I view some of the links manually to see what they are, some are different posters (other than the main one downloaded to the folder), some are the movie poster in other languages, all things I don't need. I don't want all these links cluttering up the nfo. Everything I've tried toggling off hasn't worked, they are in each nfo I save after playing with the settings, including unchecking "thumb" in the scrape tab.

Thanks.

1. You could try holding shift click on first actor to be deleted, scroll down to end of list click last actor so all highlighted blue. Then keep pressing the minus sign beside photo to all are deleted. Its a bit quicker than having to click each actor manually and deleting.

2. Do the extra thumbs and posters only show after adding the movies to your library? In that case make sure artwork downloader is not downloading extra images from the net when adding to library. Make sure the option use local files is selected in artwork downloader settings. Mediaelch should only save the chosen images you see on right hand side of movie.

Hope this helps
