My opinion of this is that MC is an awesome program which handles Movie and TV scraping excellently. Yes there are a few minor bugs, but these always get resolved. I think it's important to let the devs of MC do what they do best and that's to concentrate on what they're already doing.

There are many other programs / freeware which are perfectly capable of tagging music correctly.
I for one will probably not use the music functionality if / when it gets introduced to MC purely because I'm comfortable with what I already use.

1. Music brains Picard - To identify and tag
2. Mp3Tag - To sort tags and artwork

Have a look at this thread for what I did.

Keep it up guys. MC is awesome!

MC is ultra fast and works great. My only request would be to lock custom content. I have a few custom .NFO files that I'd like to keep. The only custom part is the name of the title. I use Boxee as well as XBMC, and Boxee needs 1,2,3,4 listed with my movies to signify sets. If I load a file into MC, it wipes it for the default name.

Any way to stop this from happening?

Thanks a ton!

Not sure if this is possible, but can I as you to sign in to mediacompanion site, and raise an issue, posting a sample nfo or two.

From the sounds of it, your looking to lock certain fields in an nfo, and that may not be possible. Instead, there might be a way we can incorporate code for Boxee. Can't guarantee anything, but worth a look.

Anyway, glad you've found Media Companion useful. I hope to have a new release up soon, with BD folder support, as well as enhanced renaming functions.

I found that if I update movie names IN Media Companion, and rescan, it doesn't generally wipe out my info. I'd like to lock my movie from being touched after initial scan, but no biggie. I've wasted so many hours getting Ember to work, only for it to stop again at random. Media Companion definitely works better. I'll always take more options though. I can't complain with free. I'd be alright with an option that just doesn't overwrite .nfo files. There's an option to keep existing covers. I'll deal with it. Thanks!

The tick box is greyed out for me.

I would suggest this:
Download and extract MC3.578b to a new location.

From your old install of Media Companion, copy(not cut) the settings folder to the new location, open the new settings folder and delete the file "profile.xml"

Now, open Media Companion, and close it again. This will update your old config.xml file with any new settings in the new version of Media Companion.

Open Media Companion and use as normal.

Note: If anything weird seems to occur, then you can still go back to your previous version.
If you want to start the new version of Media Companion as Fresh, delete the Settings folder and Cache folder. Then restart MC and it'll be virgin again.

1) Posters are not properly handled/updated (this has been reported but I think it is not yet fixed in this version) - false missing poster, wall, and affects the filters concerning posters as well (ex: filter displays lots of movies without posters but they do have)

2) XBMC link - I love this feature however I couldn't make it work properly. XBMC 12.0, library and MC 3.578 are on the same PC (WIN7 64). All setting for the XBMC Link seem to be working properly and were validated and XBMC link was enabled. However, when I tried to edit the plot for a movie and update XBMC, MC couldn't do it. I have full and brief logs if needed but basically at some point it says that "XBMC is not longer running. Jobs queue will be purged". XBMC is running and I don't understand where is the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Workaround for now is to manually refresh in XBMC for changes to appear

3) text of some of the menus/icons seem squeezed/different lines and a bit unreadable. Probably because its beta...

4) I knew that MC has integrated filters and I was looking for at least 30min to find them. It turns out that I have to resize the screen at the bottom left so that they appear so basically they were "hidden". I write this since I noticed many people where looking for those filters on google and may be had the same issue...

Hope this will help improve this great app.

Thanks in advance for your help.
