MediaElch is a free, open-source media manager designed to organize movie, television, concert, and music collections for Kodi. It retrieves information from online databases and stores metadata in Kodi-compatible NFO files. Users can browse their media libraries, edit descriptions, and manage titles, genres, cast details, and other information. The software automatically downloads posters, fan art, and additional artwork from supported sources. Its metadata scrapers include The Movie Database, IMDb, TVMaze, Fanart.tv, and music information providers. It also supports downloading television theme music and movie trailers. Built with C++ and Qt, MediaElch provides a graphical interface for preparing media libraries with consistent metadata and artwork across supported desktop operating systems.
