Hello,

I tried my best to describe my situation in the title but I guess it's not so easy to explain in a couple worlds.

What I want to accomplish is to have all my blu-ray movies covers somewhere in XBMC without having the actual movie file there. I have a lot of blu-rays and I thought it would be cool to just have the cover arts here so I can see what I have at all time.

The long way is to have something in Photos and download each individual thumbnails and do it that way but that's tedious and won't have the description for the movie etc.

Anyway to import a text file? Do I create a folder with a dummy file and just name it properly like my movie and than hope the gather info will work?

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also if anything is not clear please let me know and I'll try my best to clarify.

Thanks!

Have a look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Media_Stub_Files as it sounds the sort of thing you're describing.

Thanks for the link. Yup it sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Now I just to see if it will work with the theme I am using now.
