Hi there,
I am currently using a jailbroken ATV2 with the latest Eden version of XBMC and love it!..... I store all my files on a 2TB Time Capsule as the HDD which XBMC is pointed to.
One small problem I am finding is that the 'Movies' folder runs a scan on every start up and repeatedly finds 'movie information' which is not needed and does it over and over and over again. It is actually finding TV show info which I don't want/need it to do (its already there in TV Shows). I have separate files on my HDD for movies and for tv shows. The files are all named corrected as per TheTVDB or iMDB and XBMC is pointed to the correct folder with the relevant scraper.
Bizarrely my 'Movies' folder displays literally thousands of files which aren't actually there, for example 'Arrested Development' has maybe 30 files (actual episodes) in one folder in the TV shows folder, however the movies folder has maybe 300+ entries for the same show, and keeps getting more each time, none of the extra ones actually work. I even have files which are appearing for shows I haven't downloaded (thousands of the), they don't even exist on the HDD when I access it from my mac, but they show up on the ATV2/XBMC in Movies??.... weird or what!!
Obviously I want the movies folder to do a scan whenever I start up as I may have added new files so don't want to switch off the scrapper.
Also, I really want to get rid of the files which aren't actually there as it makes searching for movies impossible as I have to scroll down literally hundreds of pages!!.... how do I clean this up?
anyone got any ideas?
Please help
Many thanks
