Is there a way we can  have MC change the date of a movie so it appears as the most recent in Kodi?  If the it's been encoded years ago it shows way down on the list even though I just got it.

MC saves in the nfo, the date added. This can be the video created date, or the scraped date.

But in Kodi, you may need to create a Advancedsettings.xml file with the following, so Kodi adds the most recently scraped movie to the Recent Movies list.

advancedsettings.xml:


<advancedsettings>

  <videolibrary>

	<importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>

	<dateadded>0</dateadded>

    </videolibrary>

</advancedsettings>

Hi @vbat99,
So I use an Offline folder to store my movies in Media Companion.
However, when I added Kill Bill Volume 1 and did a search, it scraped the movie "The Making of Kill Bill Volume 1", which means
it created a 16 seconds video file for that video. Now even after I changed the movie on top to the correct one, the video file stayed the same.
This means the Nfo is now incorrect, and Kodi shows the following:

It shows the information for the 16 seconds video file for the movie "The Making of Kill Bill", which is incorrect.
How can I fix this please?

Go to your offline folder and find the folder Kill Bill Volume 1
Delete the contents
Rename the folder with the year at the end (2003)

In MC
Refresh all
Then scan for new Movies.
MC should find the correct Kill Bill and create a new video file.

I did some testing before posting, and I couldn't get MC to scrape anything but Kill Bill Volume 1. Tried TMDb and IMDb scraper.

Hi,

This is very strange, I do have the year at the end of the folder.
The problem is I think "The Making of Kill Bill" also have the same year.
I don't know what's going on.

Even with Kill Bill Volume 2 I get the same problem. Maybe a setting of mine is wrong.

Hi all,
Ok, I figured it out. When I use "Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003)", it scrapes the wrong movie.
When I use "Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003)", it scrapes the correct one.
Maybe this will help someone else struggling.
