## What it is
MDCx is a Python-based desktop application and Docker-deployable service that scrapes movie metadata from multiple online sources, aggregates the best fields, and organizes local video files for personal media libraries like Emby and Jellyfin. It offers a web GUI with a poster wall, automatic disk monitoring, custom naming rules, image upscaling, and optional LLM-powered translation and natural-language search.

## Use cases
- scrape movie metadata for my local video collection
- organize movie files with custom naming rules for Emby or Jellyfin
- automatically monitor a folder and scrape new videos as they appear
- merge metadata from multiple sources picking the best fields
- upscale low-resolution movie posters
- build a personal movie library with a poster wall web interface

## When to choose
- you want a mature, feature-rich GUI scraper for a personal movie library with Emby/Jellyfin integration
- you need multi-source metadata aggregation and automatic file monitoring
- you want a Docker server deployment or cross-platform desktop app

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is being archived due to heavy technical debt
- you prefer a modern architecture - the successor project Amane is recommended instead
- you need a lightweight CLI-only tool
