So in addition to switching to v3 of tMM, I also installed and am using Emby. Come to find out, not only are there changes in the rename structure in tMM, but Emby also decided to play with my NFO files. So after a slight mess was made, I decided to just run all through the new settings in the tMM renamer and fix everything. As I did this, I found a few things I am hoping can get clarified.
1. Is there any data that is entered into tMM that is NOT stored in the NFO file?
2. If Emby (or any other software) should make a change in the NFO file, how does tMM deal with this? Do I need to do a refresh of the entire library to find changes, or is there a way that changes could be marked or located? For me scanning my whole library is a long process so I try to avoid it whenever necessary, but I want to avoid issues caused by writing changes to a NFO file without having the current one loaded. Meaning that it might be possible that I open tMM and make a change, save to the NFO and end up overwriting other changes that tMM just had not loaded. I assume such issues relate to tMM with any other software that could write to NFO files.
3. How can one handle multiple subtitle files that are both same language but one is full and the other foreign parts only? I have this, but when I use the renamer, it errors as it tries to make both subtitle files the same name. I also checked and could not find a feature to have the renamer NOT change the name of subtitles, but I may have missed it.
4. It seems there is an issue somewhere with tMM and case of characters. I ended up with a few movies that were in the tMM database twice, while only in the data source once. Example "In and Out" and "In And Out". Once the case of "and" was changed, both versions remained in the tMM database. I assume because it is not considering upper and lower letters to be different characters. This could also be related to issues I am having with my media server (NAS) as its software portion is crap, but it does appear that at least part of the issue is within tMM.
