MetaMender¶

MetaMender is a Kodi add-on that quietly improves your video library in the background. It fills in what your scraper left empty, keeps scores up to date while they still change, and gives your movies and shows an age rating from your own country.

What it fixes¶

Gaps get filled.

Missing plots, episode titles, credits, taglines and more are filled in from TMDB and TheTVDB, in each folder's own language, with an optional fallback language for what does not exist in yours. What to fill

Scores that keep up.

Scrapers fetch an episode's score once, often in its first week when it has a handful of votes, and it stays like that. MetaMender checks new movies and episodes again while the votes come in, then leaves them alone once they settle. How often a field is checked

Age ratings you can trust.

Age ratings in your own country's system, for ten countries, from TMDB, official rating sites, or converted from neighbouring countries. Useful when you decide what the kids may watch. Age ratings

Highlights¶

• Respects what is yours. Items with an NFO file keep their values, and a value MetaMender replaced can be put back from the Details window. The Details window
• Shows its work. For any movie, show or episode, the Details window says where each value came from and why a field was left alone. The Details window
• Careful with episodes. Episodes from scrapers that store no ids, such as TVmaze, are matched by number only when the date or title agrees. How items are matched
• Quiet. Nothing on screen while you watch; a short notification after a scan that changed something; a window only when something needs you. Scans
• Update now. Refresh a movie, show, season or episode from its context menu. Update now
