Hi
Smarting from a frustrating experience with another library manager tool, TMM looks to be a lot friendlier - heck it even has some docs! ;-)
Anyway I've added my movie source folder and TM has imported my media files. I then seleted to search and scrape all my files (around 1k) and I could see it was populating my movie folders with .nfo files and artwork etc. All good so far.
But then it came back with a "Search movie 1/414" window with movie metadata and options to Abort queue, Back, Cancel or OK, and I'm rather confused.
https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/quickstart says:
"After that a new dialog opens, a search with the preferred media scraper is triggered and the search result is presented to the user.
After selecting the right search result, tinyMediaManager downloads all preferred meta data (select able in the lower part of the search window) and stores it into the NFO files for further usage (importing it into a media center tool like Kodi, or re-importing it into tinyMediaManger after a new set up)."
But I'm still none the wiser, I guess I was kind of expecting it to give me a summary page of everything that it had done. I'm not clear on what these 'Search movie' pages are asking. Do I really have to OK every single window? Hasn't it retrieved all the info already (since the subfolders seem to have new files)?
All I want to do is get all my movies recognised by Kodi so I can list them properly, I'm not too fussed about getting all the correct artwork and other metadata.
