TVScout becomes MediaScout
Since I’ve now added movie support to TVScout, I’ve decided to rename it MediaScout. I’ve recently released a new beta version of it, MediaScout 0.9 Beta 2a. The new features include a "management" tab for TV and movies, as well as "auto-tron" which monitors a folder and auto-fetches TV metadata.
The full changelog and screenshots are below.
As usual, you can download it from CodePlex.

Outstanding issues or features
(stuff that’s not implemented yet)
- "Single season"
- Editing boxes for TV shows
- Version checker
- Undo
- Logging (logging & undo will likely come at the same time, since they’ll need to raise events at very similar spots)
- Separate subtitle processing
- Multiple folders for the TV and Movie management tabs
- Auto-tron for movies
- Better processing (and moving of files into season folders) for auto-tron
Changelog (From TVScout 0.8)
New Features
- Movie Metadata fetching
Using theMovieDB.org, MediaScout can help you fetch and manage metadata for movies as well - TV Management
More fine-grained control over your TV metadata and images, allowing you to select from available posters, banners and backdrops. - Auto-tron
Monitors a folder, fetching metadata and (optionally) renaming for you as soon as a file is dropped in!
Current limitation is it won’t move it into season folders.
ie, drop a file into C:\videos\Heroes\Season 3\ - Backdrop support
MediaBrowser now supports backdrops, so MediaScout does too! - Episode Poster Extracting
No episode "posters"? Thats okay, providing you’ve got the codecs installed on your system, a screenshot will be captured and written to file (at 25% of the way through the episode)
