I don't get it. I honestly thought IMDB scraping was an option in the paid version, since it's right there in the settings as an option to choose? This page also gives the impression that you can pay to get access to IMDB scraping: https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/versions

But it isn't working - right? And that has also been documented several times in this subreddit?

So what's going on? Doesn't it seem kind of sketchy to advertice something that everyone apparently knows isn't even working? Yes? No?

[EDIT: UPDATE]

I asked the dev for a refund. He handled it like a champ - no fuzz, silly discussions or anything like that. Extremely quick to execute - I mean it's the weekend and it's already handled! Thanks you. :)

Will mutli-version support be getting any updates?

First, your wiki states that "Kodi does not support multiple versions of the same movie at all" which is no longer accurate. Kodi has implemented support for video versions.

Second, you list out a lot of valid reasons for why it is difficult to implement since there are plenty of people that choose to ignore what has been pretty much standard best practice for media organization for years now and dump all their movie files into a single directory. However, this seems fairly easy to account for via a configuration selection in TMM settings to indicate if you use single folder per movie or just plain anarchy.

Additionally, Emby and Jellyfin (I'm pretty sure) only support multiple versions with the single folder per movie structure anyway and Kodi's approach doesn't care. So even if you only supported this method, you're still covering ~75% of the market.

With this new functionality, I'd love to see:

  • the ability to write the new related tags to the NFO files
  • the ability to have the multiple versions combined into a single entry in the TMM UI. Maybe under a top-level toggle similar to the way TV Shows currently work? Movie Name that then expands to Movie v1, Movie v2, etc?

Anyway, any plans to revisit this?

TMM keeps adding the TVDB code to the title of the series

Anyone know why it's doing this? I can edit them manually, but I'd rather just have it not do it to begin with.

EDIT: Solved. u/guythorp correctly pointed out that this happens when you have the code in the pathname combined with the "do not overwrite" box checked.

Trailer download does nothing

I upgraded to get the trailer download and it doesn’t seem to be working. Click the button, nothing happens. Is there a fix for it?

I don’t know enough details to know if this can be done. I’m just raising it in case it hasn’t come to the attention of people who do know enough to know if it’s possible.

yt-dlp is a command-line program for downloading videos from web sites. Last year they made some changes to overcome YouTube’s attempts to block downloaders. Part of that requires a JavaScript interpreter (available as open source) to be installed alongside yt-dlp. My limited understanding is that it allows yt-dlp to mimic what a web browser would do when accessing YouTube, so attempts to block “application” access don’t work, because it looks like a regular user.

Would a similar approach work for IMDb, or is the problem there different? Can TMM learn how to do this from yt-dlp?

[SOLVED] It turns out that Kodi thinks that "tmdbset" is more important than eg. <uniqueid default="true" type="imdb">tt1234567</uniqueid>. Deleting the tmdbset line from the .nfo files solved the problem. Thanks Kodi for always being so well thought-out....

Hi there,

Switched to using tinymediamanager from Kodi's Universal Movie Scraper and I now have this weird issue when I tell Kodi to scrape the .nfo files created in tmm.

Let's say Kodi scrapes a source folder containing the 3 Matrix movies. When Kodi gets to the 2nd and 3rd movie in the series I am prompted to choose if I want to add those movies as different versions of the "original".

I looked through the .nfo files, Kodi's library settings, and tmm's scraper settings but I just can't figure out what the issue is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello, so I have 3 new issues with tinyMediaManager, it was working perfectly before. Does anyone have any solutions for these issues?

  1. The program keeps getting stuck in the "Getting MediaInfo"

  2. I can't download any episode thumbnails.

  3. ffmpeg stopped working to create it's own thumbnails.

TMM was working fine, it let me know there was a new update and I installed it now I get error "Could not initialize class sun.nio.ch.net. Whoops. Something unforseen has happened. Please restarting TinyMedia Manager and Try again."

Then another window pops up and says could not start TMM another instance is running. I am only launching it once. There is no other instances running, restarted, ran as admin, checked to make sure nothing changed in launcher file

As title. I just came to this app to try it out. On MacOS, M2 Mac, latest software (Tahoe 26.4.1). 5.2.11 wouldn't start. Rebooted etc and didn't help. I dived into the archive, found 5.2.10, and that works perfectly.
