[QUOTE="sridharb, post: 1253088, member: 58216"] Hi Lehmden, Thank you for a detailed answer to this question. I realize now that tMM keeps data in MP1 format.

I liked the FanArt etc and thought by organizing my media with tMM, I will make MP2 use the data, but it looks like it is not using at least some of it.

There should also be an option to reimport (i.e. junk all the data and start afresh). Somethings are not clear. What can I do with the version today? 1. Can I scan my existing media folders and make it understand meta data and "rewrite" it in MP2 format? 2. If not, can I make it scan existing media folders, make it download metadata from the internet, reorganize folders in the way it likes (as opposed to tMM) and most importantly, write metadata in MP2 format? 3. Do I understand correctly that the summer version will contain kodi/MP2 compatibility for items that are currently kodi only? Thanks, Sridhar [/QUOTE]
