If I want to re-scrape my library for just a particular item, such as the updated ratings from the 3 sources for each movie, and I choose the "search & scrape selected movies - force best match" option... will it use the current movie IDs that were originally scraped to update that metadata? Or will it attempt to find a best match all over again? I originally manually chose the correct match of each movie on my initial additions and there were some that didn't have the correct movie selected... I don't want to lose that accuracy. Thanks!

"force best match" or even search/normal scrape always uses the exisiting IDs prior everything else.
Once you have these IDs, you might always get a 100% match

well, just to re-fetch meta data for existing entities, you might just right click and choose "scrape meta data for selected movies" - there is no need to do a search

Good to know, thanks for the reply!

Thanks! That does work well for my movies... but that option isn't there for tv shows. Although there is a similar option to scrape for a particular show's episodes, I'm not seeing where you can scrape metadata for the show itself. Unless I'm missing something... the only way I found to update all 3 ratings sources for a tv show is to do another search & scrape.

Yes, I find search & scrape is the most reliable command for TV shows. Other commands have some flaws. For instance, download missing artwork ignores language preference setting.
Whenever I want to update some fields for TV shows, I use search & scrape force best match command with just a few fields selected just like scrape metadata command for movies.
