hey guys need a remote which would work with XBMC, im australian so ebay.com.au is most likely where i'll purchase it from.. Also what other features do you guys like to use on your XBMC? At the moment im just using the standard aeon mq3.. Thanks

[johnny87au]

Also would anyone be so kind enough to answer these questions below, totally forgot to mention them earlier

1) WHen adding movies for the first time in XBMC is it okay if i have a folder Called "movies" then inside that folder have Separate folders for each movie ??

2) When using ember scraper does it pick up all the necessary thumbnails and pictures? If not how do i add those manually or does XBMC scraper pick those up ?

1. Yes, for me this would be preferred... You can even separate The movie directory into different ones if you want to keep some movies off different clients. For example, Movies-All, and Movies-x and then not load the Movies-x source on any clients you don't want them on. Bu I just do one Movies folder and load all my movies into that.

2. I use Media Companion and it grabs everything. I presume Ember would as well.

1 - Yes that's the structure I would use but XBMC doesn't really require any specific type of folder structure for movies you can use pretty much anything you like

2 - Ember will scrape all the images you need but it does give you different versions of each image you can use that do the same job you don't need to use all of them so make a selection before you scrape the first time for me the following image types work best especially TV which seems to be a bit picky with image types used

Movie

Poster = movie.tbn

Fanart = fanart.jpg

NFO = movie.nfo

TV

Show Posters = folder.jpg

Show Fanart = fanart.jpg

Season Posters = seasonXX.tbn

Episode Posters = <episode>.tbn

It won't scrape actor thumbs but XBMC will do this for you if your not bothered about actor thumbs you can disable this option which will make adding everything much faster

Hey guys, is there any remote plugin for AverTV remote? Mine is from AverTV Volar HX, the remote bottom has the RM-KS wording. MediaPortal has plugin for this, so I was wondering whether XBMC has it as well.
