I have searched and searched but could not find a simple answer to what I am looking to do. 90% of my Movie and TV library work with the traditional methods. I would like it to be 100% except it seems that XBMC only pulls files into the library if the files can be scraped and matched. I have some home movies, bootleg concerts and a few other things that basically do not exist with metadata. I know I can edit nfo files but I really do not want to go through that and to be honest do not need to have full metadata for these files.

I would be surprised if there was not a way to force these files into the library. Do the files need to be recognized by a scraper to make it in the library? Is creating your own nfo file the only way to get it to recognize?

Does XBMC have a script that will push unknown files into the library?

Thank you in advance.

Amazing thanks. What about for TV? This will only show up under movies.

Why would you want to classify home movies and bootleg concerts as TV shows, which employ a season/episode classification structure?

This solves my movie issue, but as a side issue I am having a similar issue with add on subscriptions into my library where some episodes do not get picked up no matter which scraper i use. i would like something exactly like this to add missing episodes that appear in my files/library but not under tv shows library
