Thank you, vbat99...hmmm, is there a (useful) way to use different managers without mashing anything?

Alright, I understand, so one manager only.
Actually, some time ago I thought, you would be the only developer of MC. How many developers are there working on it?
Thanks for the link. Hmmm, yes, one, two, three requests or so, but MC almost has all of the features I would like to have...actually two functions / things: the most important thing, to show all of the information of a series / movie stored on drives not being plugged in (as I have all of my videos on external drives). So to show the same information as if the drive would be plugged in. And a filter by countries.
OK, good idea, many thanks again.

Is there anything I could do to not let MC scrape samples?
I have two versions of "Watchmen", two different cuts, avi and mkv, but only one of the version is shown in MC. How could I generally show different versions / duplicates in MC?
When I filter by "Duplicates" in "General" MC does not show any Watchman version. Is that intended like that?
And is the length of a movie show in MC the real length or the one scraped? I would like to show the real length of a movie, so different lengths for the different cuts / versions of e.g. "Watchmen".

Yes, there is a way.
You can name alternative versions of a movie with "directors-cut" or "extended-edition"
IE: Watchmen.mkv
Watchmen directors-cut.mkv
These will show as duplicates, as they are, but their naming in Media Companion will be individual. Meaning directors-cut will be in the title for that movie.
See Movie Preferences -> Advanced2 tab, where you can add your own identifier. Only note no spaces if using two words. Mark spaces with a hyphen -

Thanky you, vbat99,
But those namings ("directors-cut" or "extended-edition" etc.) only do work for MC, I guess, and not e.g. when I would scrape with XBMC or other scrapers. So, there would be no way to make MC show all of the duplicates (without renaming), I assume.
So, when there are more than one version of a movie MC only shows one of them (when named identically, e.g. Watchmen (2009).mkv and Watchmen (2009).avi and Watchmen (2009).mp4 and may bei Watchmen (2009) - Die Wächter.avi).

Alright, many thanks, vbat99,
Can one show the real runtime of a movie? So, the runtimes of the 2 versions of Watchmen differ, but MC shows the same runtime.

In Movie Preferences -> General tab. Select Display Runtime from....File
Also, on the Movie browser tab, you can click the heading Runtime to switch between Scraped Runtine, and Stream runtime.
