MediaScout

MediaScout

A Windows media library scanner that fetches TMDB and TheTVDB metadata and writes it back out as .nfo/.xml sidecar files your media center already understands.

Download for Windows

Scan your library

Point MediaScout at your Movies and TV Shows folders and it scans the folder tree for video files, grouping them into movies, TV shows, seasons, and episodes.

Rich metadata lookup

Titles, overviews, cast/crew, genres, ratings, and air dates are looked up from TheMovieDB (TMDB) and TheTVDB.

Artwork included

Posters, backdrops, banners, and actor photos are downloaded alongside each title.

Works with your media center

Metadata is written to disk as .nfo/.xml sidecar files so Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and My Movies can display it without their own internet lookups.
