I have a problem I think. As you can not control what auto import folders are targeted by what import setting (analyze audio, Get Movie and TV Show meta data, Get cover art and so on), I have a question of how my setup will work. I'm importing this folders:
Audio
TV Shows
Movies
With the current options, I have to enable everything. The problem is that I'm using Sickbeard for my TV Shows, which reliably and beautifully downloads screen grabs and all the meta data I want. This is saved to a XML file and MC updates the Library to match this data. My question is this:
What will win? The reason I'm asking and not testing it extensively is that I'm afraid that timing might have some impact on my import process, and that I can not conclude anything for certain. When importing, is the XML files read before the Auto scraping of TV Shows or Movies? Or is the Meta Data Scraping done first? What if the scraping is done first? Will the data in MC be overwritten by the external changes if that is selected? Or will the Meta scraping rule? Will the thumbnails be created, or will the thumbnails from sickbeard be preserved in it's own sub folders in each season folder?
