## What it is
MediaElch is a cross-platform desktop media manager for Kodi that scrapes and organizes metadata for movies, TV shows, concerts, and music. It stores information as NFO files and automatically downloads artwork from sources like The Movie DB and Fanart.tv.

## Use cases
- manage my kodi movie library metadata
- scrape tv show information and posters automatically
- rename and organize media files for kodi
- download fanart and backdrops for my media collection
- edit nfo files for movies and shows
- scrape music and concert metadata for kodi

## When to choose
- you use Kodi and want automated metadata scraping and artwork downloads
- you need to organize large movie/TV collections with NFO files
- you want a dedicated desktop GUI rather than a Kodi addon

## When to avoid
- you don't use Kodi or NFO-based media libraries
- you need a web-based or headless media server manager like Jellyfin or Plex

- function: gui, web-scraping, file-system
- domain: media, desktop-applications, self-hosted
