I've been trying to find a media manager I like, and have been checking out tmm. In my xbmc library I have 2 movies folders, Movies for tmdb scraper and Movies.IMDB for imdb (now universal). When I set this up, they didn't have the universal. So when I started testing tmm I only loaded the imdb movie folder, since it only has a few movies in it. Things went well and I was quite pleased so I added the other (larger) movie folder and realized things were not going as smoothly as expected. I thought the problem was that I had previously been using the imdb scraper and maybe tmm didn't know how to limit/exclude scrapers on some sources like xbmc does, so I thought I would just remove the imdb folder which is all cleaned up anyway. When I tried to do that, tmm said if I removed them I would be removing them from the database... and I panicked. I aborted that remove and then exited tmm. Full stop. Time for some questions:
1. Is tmm working directly with xbmc's mysql database? Ie, are changes made in tmm implemented in xbmc immediately? Or only when/if I update the nfo files?
2. Is there a way to configure tmm to use a scraper on a source-by-source basis? Or is it one scraper per type (movies, tv, etc).
Sorry for the panic. The other media managers I've looked at so far didn't touch xbmc's territory until/unless one writes the nfo's and I sort of assumed that was standard practice. Pretty dumb on my part, I know - I mean, I did have to configure the database access so what was I thinking?
