Scraping Tips

1. File Extensions: Ensure all image files use the correct extensions, such as .png or .jpg.
2. File Naming: Make sure the file names match the names in the NFO files for accurate scraping.
3. Folder Structure: Maintain a clear folder structure so that the media server can correctly identify and scrape.
4. Special Characters: Avoid using special characters or spaces in file names as it may cause scraping to fail.
5. System Settings: Ensure that in the software settings, you have selected the options to "Prefer local poster images" and "Prefer NFO file media data" to prioritize the use of local media files for scraping.
