Hi,
I hope this has not been covered elsewhere, if so.. point me to it.
As many have, I too have spent a lot of time nameing and creating my video library with moviename.tbn, moviename.nfo, moviname-fanart.jpg.
A couple of things i would like to know about.
If i do not set a scraper will xbmc still add the fanart and nfo?
Another thing... since i have many movies in multiple directories it sure would be nice to be able to just drop all my .nfo, .tbn, .farart.jpg into one single directory and have xbmc grab it from there.
i.e.
move directories:
\\movie_server\movie_vol1\movie1.iso
\\movie_server\move_vol2\movie2.iso
farnart-tbn-nfo directory:
\\movie_server\DATA
so, when i add a new movie i can add it to any volume that has space and not worry if i have the .nfo, .tbn, fanart.jpg yet. and when i get it i can add it to the single directory for arnart-tbn-nfo and as long as its named the same as my moviename.iso it will pick it up.
this is beneficial since from time to time i change my thumbs and fan art. i would not have to go searching through my server to find the appropriate share to drop the files...
Hope i make sense.
is something like this possible?
thanks.
