Keep movies, TV shows and other video files organized with this cataloging software which can access and scrape data from online sources such as IMDB, TMDB and MovieMeter.
Movie enthusiasts have always kept their favorite titles in personal collections, and despite the popularity of streaming services, it is still common to find those who prefer to keep their movies stored locally. For them, bitrate concerns are legitimate, and the allure of physical media, even if on the decline, remains as strong as ever.
If you too happen to have a collection of movies stored on internal or external drives, you'll know that managing them can be quite the task. But tinyMediaManager is here to make it all easier for you. The software offers a comprehensive range of scraping and editing functions that can help you thoroughly organize your movies and TV shows.
Despite its name, tinyMediaManager is far more than just a basic media management tool. And while it may take some time to get set up, once you become familiar with its functions, it's hard not to see why it's such a valuable resource.
The interface has a functional, albeit somewhat minimal look, and most of the options are nested in menus and submenus. Once you've added your source folders, the program will recognize all the media files under the Movies and TV shows tabs. From there, you can organize and group everything, using the Search & Scrape feature to look up information about your chosen titles and update the information panel.
tinyMediaManager uses themoviedb.org to scrape data about the movies, pulling information on everything from the original title, cast, plot, release date, and genre, all the way to its banner, user rating, and certification. This makes it feel like an intricate database of all your film collection.
The software also includes enhanced editing capabilities, which open up even more doors for particularization. You can edit multiple films at a time, re-fetch the IMDb rating for any of your chosen movies, update the media information, as well as find movie sets for the selected titles. This feature allows you to group movies based on specific criteria, like all the movies taking place in the Lord of the Rings universe, for instance.
All in all, if you want to organize your movie collection and enjoy a more streamlined viewing experience, tinyMediaManager is definitely worth checking out. Its user-friendly functions make managing your titles a breeze, making the process well worth your time.
