All "ended" TV shows are locked which I believe means no changes can or will be made to the shows unless they've been unlocked however when I do a random check on the shows several fields are updated with incorrect data, as below :

• Show title changes to yellow
  
• State changes to "Un-Verified"
  
• Show status changes to "Unknown"
  
• Run time reverts to zero
  

To fix the anomaly I have to delete the TV show artwork and NFO then 'check the root folders for new TV shows', usually once, but sometimes twice

I've just noticed this is also happening to my 'continuing shows' (which are unlocked) where I have to delete the TV Shows NFO and artwork then 'check the root folders for new TV shows', usually once, but sometimes twice

When scraping for new TV episodes I have to delete the epsiode NFOs and artwork and then search for new episodes - only then will the new episodes be scraped

Are you saying the

• Show title changes to yellow
  
• State changes to "Un-Verified"
  
• Show status changes to "Unknown"
  
• Run time reverts to zero
  

Just happens? Were you doing a Batch rescrape? Did you export from Kodi? Are you using a different Media Manager as well as Media Companion?
Or just the next time you open Media Companion the above has happened?

Also,

This is not normal, and would usually point to a permissions issue.

Media Companion is operating perfectly at present, I have received no feed-back of any issues like this, and am not able to reproduce at my end.

I get the same things happening. Figured it might be because I use Sonarr. But after a batch re-scrape to fix, revets on next open. Figured it was just a consequence of using Sonarr (v3), but I don't understand since Sonarr gives the option to name and create meta-data specifically for KODI/EMBY. When collection refreshed, SOME series show blue ? and need to be rescraped. If there's a ay to prevent that - AWESOME!!!!, If nit, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to have series auto-handled.

Well, that metadata was pulled from inside Media Companion.
But are you saying you can't get Rotten Tomato data from Media Companion into the nfo's?

You need to insert your OMDB APi Key in Preferences -> Common Settings tab.
Then in Movie Preferences, Enable Get Rotten Tomato Ratings

I just saw this response. 

I am able to get all the ratings I want in MC but I can not retrieve the information the way you posted it if I go straight to the omdb.com page.

No, you won't get that data from OMDB web page. They only provide sample data.

What I posted was the reply when we do a API call with the key in Media Companion.
You would need to paste
http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey={your_key}&i={movie_imdb+id}&tomatoes=true&r=xml into address bar of your browser to get similar reply as I posted.
Note: Replace {your_key} with your OMDB API key, and {movie_imdb_id} with the IMDB Id of the movie
eg: (not a valid key)
http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=adfa&i=tt0317219&tomatoes=true&r=xml

You didn't answer -> Are you using a different Media Manager as well as Media Companion? 

• let NZBET and Sonarr download the TV shows/epsiodes
  
• run a "Check root for new TV Shows".
  
• If MC picked up new TV Shows or episodes I delete the TV show from MC and re-run the "Check root for new TV Shows" which re-scan the correct information.

I am using Sonarr - nothing else.

My usual routine is

• let NZBET and Sonarr download the TV shows/epsiodes
  
• run a "Check root for new TV Shows".
  
• If MC picked up new TV Shows or episodes I delete the TV show from MC and re-run the "Check root for new TV Shows" which re-scan the correct information.
  

I can understand having to do this each time a new show or episode but this is happening all the time - yesterday I noticed Carnival Row (which is in hiatus) was "Unverified". I deleted th show and re-scraped the show, when changed the show status and run time to the correct settings. I checked the show this morning, and - surprise surprise -  everything the show has reset to 'unverified, run time has reset to zero, show status has reset to ":Unknown". It still happened even if I lock the TV Show

I have once other question re posters/fanart for TV shows and Movies

If I update the Posters and Fanart  for  Star Trek Enterprise or one of the movies does the poster and fanart get updated in the NFO, and ultimately Kodi ?
