question 1) is this correct:

<episodedetails>
<title>My TV Episode</title>
...
<aired>2000-01-01</aired>
<actor>
<name>Little Suzie</name>
<role>Pole Jumper/Dancer</role>
<name>Actor 2</name>
<role>part 2</role>
</actor>
</episodedetails>

or is this correct?:
<episodedetails>
<title>My TV Episode</title>
...
<aired>2000-01-01</aired>
<actor>
<name>Little Suzie</name>
<role>Pole Jumper/Dancer</role>
</actor>
<actor>
<name>Actor 2</name>
<role>part 2</role>
</actor>
</episodedetails>

question 2) How is the CAST infolabel "concatenated"?
actors = "actor1, actor2, actor3"
liz.setInfo( type="Video", infoLabels={ "Title": libname, "Date":date, "Size"ize, "Plot":plot, "Genre":genre, "Cast":actors} )
this doesn't seem to pick up the actors, what am I doing wrong?

question 3) can someone clarify for me how library works with plugins, no matter what I set for 'set content type' it still classifies folders/files as movies, not tvshows.

question 4) is it possible to set up this directory structure for tvshows:
TV/
TV/Boston Legal - episode 6/arbitrary filename.mpg
TV/Boston Legal - episode 12/arbitrary filename.mpg
TV/Biography - Jerry Garcia/arbitrary filename.mpg

thanks for your help.

I can only help with one of the questions.
1) actor's are in the following format
<actor>
<name>blar goodfella</name>
<role>role</role>
<thumb>thumburl</thumb>
</actor>
<actor>
<name>blar goodfella</name>
<role>role</role>
<thumb>thumburl</thumb>
</actor>
repeat..

2) 3) no idea
4) I don't think that will work since it's looking at the filename.. http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=TV_Shows

4) I don't think that will work since it's looking at the filename.. http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=TV_Shows

follow-up question
will this work?:
TV/
TV/Boston Legal/Boston Legal.s4e5.epsubname.mpg
TV/Boston Legal/Boston Legal.s4e6.epsubname.mpg

or does it have to be?:
TV/
TV/Boston Legal/Boston Legal.s4e5.epsubname/Boston Legal.s4e5.epsubname.mpg
TV/Boston Legal/Boston Legal.s4e6.epsubname/Boston Legal.s4e6.epsubname.mpg

Thanks.

Either should work. You probably want to use 2 digits for the season/ep numbers though (s04e05). More so for file listing than scanning as the scanner will work fine with a single digit.
