After I read this I looked online for information about this, but couldn't find any. I'm in the process of scraping all my media with TMM, and thought that would speed up the widgets once everything was local. But it still has to use information providers then? So what's the use case for all metadata scraped by TMM if it's not being used in skins?
I have mine set up the exact same way, it deffo speeds up adding stuff to libary if you already have the .nfo and artwork localy with the media and scan in using local info only.
It does also take the information from the .nfo and artwork for everything when you scan these into your libary and uses this to build its database.
From what I can see and have messed with its only ratings from websites that this mod need api keys for as it is not taken from the .nfo (as thats only used to provide kodi with this information/artwork to create a database when adding to libary)
so you should still get studio/mpaa and everything else other than trakt/rotten tom ratings e.c.t, without any api key needed.
It does also 100% speed up widgets and everything when pointing widgets to local files.
