MDCx is an open source media metadata scraping and organization tool designed to automate the process of collecting detailed information for movie files. It retrieves metadata from multiple online sources and applies it to local media collections, helping users maintain structured and well-organized libraries. MDCx can download information such as titles, cast data, artwork, and other metadata, then generate standardized NFO files compatible with media management systems. It also supports image processing tasks such as downloading and cropping artwork used by media centers. It includes several interfaces, allowing users to operate it through a graphical desktop application, a browser-based web interface, or command-line utilities depending on their workflow. Its architecture separates core scraping logic from the user interfaces, allowing the same metadata processing system to be reused across different modes.
