Using Scraper tool

Scraper is a tool to add movie into collection in bulk.

It scans a specified folder for movies, and download their information from TMDB automatically.

It then adds them to the collection. It is handy when there are, say, couple of hundreds of movies.


** It can take a while to complete the scraping. It will depend on number of movies and internet connection speed.

** It preferred that all movie files are in a folder. For the example below, we will select folder TestMC, which contains all the movies in different folders.

** If your movie folder consists of individual movie files, use file2folder tool to arrange them folder.










Launch Scraper click on the button







Click Browse Folder button


Make sure you have internet connectivity or it will not work.

On completion, a message will be displayed as SCRAPING COMPLETE

Return to the main screen, and click the Refresh button



Screen will display the collection, including the movies added from Scraper
