I installed Media Companion on a flash drive with the goal of just having a nice media library kind of listing on the drive. I was wondering if there was a way to tell it to download and save the media info, screen caps, posters, and all that to an external folder. That way I could just have a nice in depth library so when friends of mine want to take my movie collection and "borrow" movies as it were, I don't have to lug out the external for them to browse, I can just show them the flash drive library, and my flash drive is high capacity enough to still have room left over for one or two movies to port over if they ask for them. Lol this is my brilliant idea at least, and I'm hoping I can use this program to do that... any suggestions, or is it just not going to be able to work for that?
Not as such - Although you can create a HTML library using the HTML output feature.
Although what you suggest cannot be accomplished directly from within Media Companion, all you would need to do would be to copy all the nfo's, tbn's and fanart files into a folder on your usb stick. Add that directory to the portable MC folders list, and all the movies will be listed since Media Companion works from the nfo files and not the media files (After the initial scrape). It could be achieved fairly simply with a batch file.
