[QUOTE="NLS, post: 1007660, member: 20102"] OK I am not really a newcomer, just absent for too long, so almost same thing. Here is the issue (which I am sure has been asked many times before - I did some search - but got more confused)... I have a bunch of movies, that are NOT arranged in any particular way I like right now and some miss metadata (like subtitles, nfo etc.). They are thrown in various folders, others separate per movie, others just in pool with other movies. Also there are a few ISO/NRG images (that would be nice if I could auto-mount). So I need something to clean this up (with my manual assistance). I need it to be able to complete my metadata (I realize this is called "scraping") AND rename AND move accordingly. Now that last part (move), is what was harder to find. Some tools like filebot or therenamer, were confusing. I can do that part manually if someone can tell me the best way to do it. I plan to use very few folders (for example separate movie series, or 3D movies, or kid movies, but pretty much everything else would be in a pool), but I don't know if it's better to have its movies in a separate folder on its own or not. My plan is to first clean up metadata + do renames, then move things around (if I have to do that manually). I have heard that MP own plugin MovingPictures can do many of these things. I have also tried Ember (which seems to be non-updated the last 3 years, but looks nice and clean) and Media Companion (which development seems very active, but looks very XBMC oriented... I am actually re-looking to XBMC exactly for this reason). Should I stick to any of these? Try something else? What? So... can someone that has gone through this torture before, help me? [/QUOTE]
