Can scrape TV Shows but not Movies - help appreciated
#1
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light/offer some advice – for this particular scenario

An example of my current TV Show naming convention is:

Almost Human S01E01 Pilot.mkv – this is being picked up/scraped by XBMC and works well – banners, fanart etc are being fetched and this is viewable in the TV Show menus of XMBC

An example of my current Movie naming convention for YAMJ is:

Movies\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720.mkv
Movies\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720.jpg
Movies\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720.fanart.jpg
Movies\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720\Apocalypse.Now.1979.720p.BluRay.x264-AVS720.nfo

In XBMC, for this particular movie, it will not get any cover or fanart images and shows blank thumbnails. 98% of my ‘Movie’ folder are in this format

For the 2% it works fine in XMBC - where I just have the .mkv file – like Movies\Along.Came.Polly.2004.720p.Bluray.x264-BestHD\ Along.Came.Polly.2004.720p.Bluray.x264-BestHD.mkv – this is ok in XBMC and will fetch/scrape

I do not want to remove all the .jpg and .fanart.jpg files for 98% of my library (~1800 movies)

Can anyone suggest any painless way of me getting XBMC to work/scrape all my movies folders without me having to make excessive changes?

Many thanks in advance

I think the best solution would be to have a common movie library with poster/fanart/nfo naming convention that can be scraped by both YAMJ and XBMC

Anyone have some ideas on how this file format should look and if there are any tools/GUI that could automate the process of changing what I currently have into what I would need to satisfy YAMJ and XBMC

Thanks in advance,
