Media Companion VS Media Center Master

I have my Synology NAS on the network and use Kodi on the Shield. Both devices need to have static IP's and NFS setup. You can look into other methods for streaming across the network but NFS works great with a little configuration. https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediacompanion/ and MP3tag are your friends.

I'm currently using Tiny Media Manager. Before that I had paid for a lifetime license for Media Center Master. I switched from MCM to TMM due to TMM being able to be run in a docker on Unraid where all my media files are kept anyway. Source: almost 3 years ago

This is but 1 of the reasons why I don't rely on Kodi to do anything but read my metadata & play my files, I do all my metadata with MCM. Source: almost 3 years ago

I set all my metadata manually with MCM right along side my media, that way Kodi only reads it & never changes/downloads anything. Source: about 3 years ago

I run Kodi as the interface for all my media servers on the 2019 Pro without issue, tho I also use MCM to setup all my metadata manually with my content as I rip it (not the internal scrappers & Kodi only reads it/nevr changes anything) so I'm in control of everything it downloads & the size thereof.

Seemingly some of you really jump thru some unnecessary hoops to have Kodi scrape for you when all you need is MCM. Source: about 3 years ago
