Hi fellow media center users
Maybe this have been discussed earlier, I have only one month of experience with this, but I have participated in adding data to the moviedb and tvdb and because of that wants to know the opinions and or solutions from you guys.
The thing is that I have a lot of DVD's/iso's which primarily is movies, but also a lot of TV-shows. In xbmc there is a big difference to those. TV shows need to be added as one file per episode, which conflicts with the DVD's that often does not even contain episodes that is comparable with a season of a TV-show.
Other people like me does not want to have the iso's replaced by the separated episode files. What happens is that the moviedb is filled up with data about the DVD's of TV-shows even though they maybe cannot be considered as movies. Would it be better that the tvdb were able to contain data about both the seasons and the DVD's of the TV-shows and xbmc were able to change its view accordingly?
Or maybe a DVD/blu-ray db is needed instead even though it could possibly make the moviedb somewhat obsolete.
I guess the bottom-line question is where the DVD's of TV-shows should belong, or feel free to propose completely different ideas or maybe you don't even consider it a problem...
