Hi all, XBMC newbie here. I have a general question about how to name films to get XBMC to show them. I am using openelec on ION build 1.0.2. and version 10 of xbmc.
Basically when i add videos and specify them as movies and then run the update it only detects about 2/3rds of them - so that's the first problem and my first question. If i have a movie called "the jungle book" and the full name reads "the jungle book.avi" should i remove the .avi from the name? Also, someone said to put in the year it was made but I haven't done that for my other movies that are detected. Is there an alternate movies scrape site (forgive if naming is wrong) that I can install and use?
Second question, even when i add the jungle book manually and it then appears in my movies and go to movie information and reload it doesn't do anything. All i can do is specify my own fanart and thumb but the problem then is that i put the images in the "screen shots" folder and don't know if this is backed up when i run a config backup. I also do not get a film intro telling me what the film is about or a trailer link, is there anyway to add this manually?
Many thanks for looking.
