I noticed if you don't have a root folder you cant switch scraper to tmdb for certain shows example if you try to switch Hot Ones Versus to tmdb it will show an error and try to close media companion if the show doesnt have a tmdbid on tvdb it wont let you change the show scraper.
You need to have a Root folder so MC knows where to handle the series info.
If you don't have a root folder, you will have other problems occurring in MC.
While the crash should be caught better, it does highlight that your doing something outside of normal function of MC.
