The items that are automatically excluded are hard-coded into Media Companion.
These include 'Recycle Bin', 'System Volume Information' just to name a few.

The reason we use a Hyphen - before the trailer.extn is to definitively separate from a Movies title and the word trailer.
I see the addon does support this

Quote: Practical scenario of how themes are picked up by TvTunes
Regardless of how they are named and the file structure you have selected to use in TvTunes (Video folder, Themes folder or Custom path), TvTunes will play all audio files, which extensions are supported by TvTunes, as long as they include the string "theme" in their names. There is an additional feature provided only by the "Themes" folder, which allow you to even ignore the string "theme" in the names.
For example, all the following audio files will be played by TvTunes as themes for Maleficient (2014) regardless of the TvTunes' file system chosen:

Maleficent (2014) 1080p BRRip H264 AAC-theme.ext
Theme - Meleficient Suite.ext
The Curse Won't Reverse theme.ext
Arthemesia.ext (this will play too ;-))
Theme.ext, theme1.ext, theme2.ext, theme3.ext, etc.

And if the themes are within the Themes folder, the following will also be played:

Would it be possible for you to test this as -theme.extn?

I only ask as this would allow less confusion (easier programming) in Media Companion.

Since then I have simply created an "action" in photoshop to add the word Foreign at the bottom of the Poster Art. Then is just a matter of putting the foreign films in another folder.

BTW...I don't use KODI.

In all honesty, your software does everything I could want to keep my library.

Kodi has a nice bells and whistles but I don't worry about that.

I am not sure how MC can figure out if the movie is "Foreign", and will pass on that.

I'll see about 1080P, 720P and SD to be added to tag field.

This is interesting. If you come across any movie that does not show Resolution, please open the corresponding nfo and Copy and paste into a message. Wrap it in a [code] section.

As for language, that is going to depend on if the language is coded into the media stream details.
I've seen MP4's that have 'eng', or 'deu' etc, against an audio track, and plenty that don't.
Personally if I have to transcode anything to mkv, I always set the language type. (I rarely have any mp4 or avi files.)

Hmmm.....bit confused.

Let me know how your testing goes. I know I'd prefer -theme...

BTW...a while ago I suggested adding the option of creating screen shots for home movies in increments of say every 2 minutes or whatever the person wants and giving you an option of 8 shots.

It seemed like it would be a possibility?

Yep, still some work to be done in this section

There has been great debate on this, and the answer is, no. mc_com.exe will never be programmed to search and find new Shows.

Why? well, blindly scraping a Show, and then any episodes, is a recipe for disaster.
It is too easy to scrape the incorrect show, and then be scraping the episodes for against the wrong show.
One example is the TV Series Castle
99% of the time, MC will scrape the first tv series called Castle, and not the one Castle 2009 (even with the year in the folder)
Imagine the series Dr Who There are three different series for Dr Who, or Doctor Who, or Doctor Who 2005.
These are just a few series that can cause havoc. Hawaii Five-0, Hawaii Five-O is another, Marvel Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. won't even be found. This last one usually needs manual selection of the TV Series.

We've maintained that Series need to be scraped and verified in Media Companion. mc_com.exe then uses this series info to scrape the correct Episode nfo's.

Sorry, #2 isn't going to be incorporated into mc_com.

It creates a recycle bin folder that's labeled .recycle.bin. Is there any way to add this to the hard coded ignored folders or show me where I can add it? Every time I do an add folders from root and then refresh, I have to delete these folders. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
