Hey everyone, this is my first thread here though i have been a lurker for forever. I have hit a wall in my XBMC knowledge and i cant seem to figure this out. Let me give you a run down of what i have , so you guys can help suggest a good solution.
I have roughly 300 movies, and 50 TV shows currently in my collection. I am using XBMC 11.0 on a win 7 machine. I also have the XWMM plugin loaded.
OK, i am trying to add my UFC collection. I have Every UFC from 1 to 154, with their preliminary fights. These are two separate MKV's for each Event.My folder structure currently looks like the following.
UFC
......./UFC 01
............/UFC 01.MKV
............/UFC 01 Prelims.mkv
......./UFC 02
I have a poster for each UFC event, i do not have fanart for all events but i do have it for some.
I first tried to set these fights up with UFC as a TV show, with each event as a separate season, and then the prelims and the main fight as two separate episodes. I was completely unable to get this to work. Either through my own ignorance, or some fault of the software.
I then tried to set them up as a movie set, and let the scraper pull down event info. This failed me as well for a couple of reasons. One, the posters and fan art pulled down very wrong for a large portion of the movies. As a matter of fact i got the same poster for roughly 100 of the fights. Also, since the scraper doesn't know what to do with the prelim fights, they either didn't list, or came in as weird duplicate files. Lastly, a couple of the fights that are older i was unable to find only one mkv for. Some of the fights consequently are split in a format such as UFC xx part1 and ufc xx part 2. They list as duplicates as well.
So, to close, i will DO anything to make this work. Ill get a new addon, ill start my db from scratch, i will switch themes, i will gladly order you a pizza. But if someone could get me some help on the best way to do this i will love you forever. I seem to be having issues getting posters and fanart to show for these things properly and i have no idea how to stop the duplicates.
Ideal Solution - UFC shows up as a main category on my XBMC right next to Movies and TV Shows. Underneath i would love to have The Ultimate Fighter Finales, UFC Fight nights and regular UFC events in sub categories.
Acceptable Solution 1 - UFC events show up as movies, with the proper poster art and duplicates are handled. The Ultimate Fighter Finales are listed under TV. Fight nights, UFC on fox etc go somewhere organized.
Acceptable Solution 2 - UFC shows as a tv series with sub seasons for each event and related sub shows like TUF, Fight nights etc.
I have read every thread, old, current and necroed that i can find on this and i just cant sort it out.
Seriously there is pizza in thie for someone. Help a brother out.
