This really needs some explanation, in text, of what it's actually doing and what media means here.
Not sure how it can be made any more clear than what it is?
Why is it called media, when it seems to only handle movies & series? There are many more types and categories of media. And why is the feature-list on Github just a long list of filters, while it at the same time sells itself as "THE frontend" for whatever it's doing. The small bit of data managment and filters I see on github is on the level of an excel-sheet, which very far from what I would call "THE frontend".
So my question is, what is missing here?
Those are all either answered in the README, answered in files linked from the README or not mentioned in the README/docs (like Netflix integration, playing files) so one can feel safe to assume it's not a feature if it's not listed as a feature.
Thanks for pointing this out. Of course, Media Hoarder "plays files" - by launching the media player of your choice. I quickly updated the README :|
Translation for those who can't read between the lines:
- it doesn't support media scanning
- the authors are going hard on not saying this outright. Figure the idea is more downloads from people aspiring to scan their media (who got duped), but then "fall in love" with the program when they see how great it is albeit unable to do what they wanted, scan media. 0/10 this is catfishing, be honest and listen to what the users want, a solution for media scanning. A meta-data organizer is useless without metadata! Which is what the scanner produces!
[Edit]: I read your post a second time, you use the term "media scanning" for two different things:
1/ Scanning in files
2/ Providing Metadata
Both are supported by Media Hoarder, none of the metadata you see in the screenshots and demos are manually provided by the user.
If you want to dig a bit deeper (coming from the README), you can see linked documents that go into detail for both topics:
