I had a few questions about the movie.nfo and what I should be using for some of the other items for movies. I want to incorporate the option to output movie.nfo and the associated files in the correct format into movieinfoplus.

I compiled the latest svn (16387m) and tested with the following
foldername: Wall-e
moviefilename: theWall-e.avi
folder jpg: folder.jpg
fanart: fanart.jpg
tbns: wall-e.tbn, season01.tbn, movie.tbn (tried each by itself, and then will all 3 of them)
nfo: movie.nfo
<title> in nfo: <title>Wall-e</title>

While it picks up the fanart and .nfo, it does not grab the tbn file

What should I be using for the tbn and for the trailer if I am outputing movie.nfo?

Thanks!

theWall-e-trailer.avi
theWall-e.tbn

theWall-e-trailer.avi
theWall-e.tbn

Thanks spiff.

I was hoping there was a way to do it without reading up the file information of the actual movie, similar to the tv shows season tbn files, mostly for stacked icons and for users that don't want to rename the movie to match the name of the folder. Something along the lines of movie.tbn and movie-trailer.avi

I put in a feature request for those items 5383

Here's a visual of my idea in the feature request, I had a question on naming convention in my app thread in the general forum.

Current xbmc Release Build
Example with non-stacked movie.
Example: Movie name is cloverfield
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield.avi
-->cloverfield.tbn
-->cloverfield.nfo
-->cloverfield-fanart.jpg
-->cloverfield-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg

Example with stacked movie (multiple file parts) - files must match the stacked name
Example: Movie name is cloverfield
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield-part1.avi
-->cloverfield-part2.avi
-->cloverfield.tbn
-->cloverfield.nfo
-->cloverfield-fanart.jpg
-->cloverfield-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg

Latest SVN Build of xbmc
Example with movie.nfo (requires svn build of xbmc and you must enable the "use foldernames for lookups" when configuring the content type)
Example with non-stacked movie.
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield.avi
-->cloverfield.tbn
-->movie.nfo
-->fanart.jpg
-->cloverfield-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg

Example: with stacked movie (multiple file parts) - files must match the stacked name
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield-part1.avi
-->cloverfield-part2.avi
-->cloverfield.tbn
-->movie.nfo
-->fanart.jpg
-->cloverfield-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg


'Future idea for naming of files' - entered as a feature request
I put in a feature request that would allow the following (no build of xbmc supports this yet)
Non stacked movie
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield.avi
-->movie.tbn
-->movie.nfo
-->fanart.jpg
-->movie-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg

Example: with stacked movie (multiple file parts)
foldername "cloverfield"
-->cloverfield-part1.avi
-->cloverfield-part2.avi
-->movie.tbn
-->movie.nfo
-->fanart.jpg
-->movie-trailer.mov
-->folder.jpg
