IMDb ratings/votes broken for TV shows/episodes?

Hi Rob, first of all, thank you for picking this up and being willing to implement it. I really appreciate you taking the time to look into such a small but practical detail. 🙏 I completely understand your position that Media Companion is, at its core, a meta scraper for Kodi, and that your primary focus is sticking to Kodi conventions. Even though Jellyfin NFOs are very similar, it absolutely makes sense that you do not want to drift into supporting platform-specific features beyond Kodi’s scope....

Since Kodi and Jellyfin share common roots, their .nfo formats are fortunately mostly compatible, with only a few exceptions. Most differences in naming and metadata conventions are already handled correctly by both platforms. However, I noticed one specific case where this is unfortunately not true: Jellyfin does not recognize the <setid></setid> tag at all and cannot make any use of it. Instead, Jellyfin relies on the <collectionnumber></collectionnumber> tag. Once this tag is present, it also...

Hi Rob, I was aware that TheTVDB made some changes, but I didn’t realize that “normal data” is now behind a paywall too. That’s a bit unfortunate, but I understand—API queries have often been misused, so I can see why they’d restrict it. Honestly, the only real advantage TheTVDB still has for me is the role-specific actor images and a bit more better metadata—otherwise it’s almost negligible these days. So if a future implementation were added, I’d need to switch the scraper to TMDb first. Then,...

Hi, First of all, apologies if this has already been requested. I’ve been using Media Companion for over 10 years now. After switching from Kodi to mainly to Jellyfin, I really appreciate how nicely the .nfo files are compatible (in most cases) I was wondering if it would be possible to also scrape the original titles for TV show episodes (tvdb), similar to how it works for movies. At the moment, I’m adding them manually for some series. For some series, especially for those who are a bit nerdy about...

Indeed, fanart.tv calling "background" what is for kodi "fanart", and "TV Thumbs" what is for kodi "landscape". Glad to see fanart.tv supporting them now as an own artwork type and also you implemented it to MC. Much appreciated! Not so happy to hear you wanna shying away from fanart.tv. It's still the best source for artwork. The kind of "API key wall" was necessary, as there has often been server request bombing in the past, which increased server costs & website crashes. The website also still...
