Hi everybody.

I have a question, is there a way to get my movie info by offline scraping ?

I have *.nfo files + fanart / poster / actors images all in the movie folder ( offline ). Now I would love the skip the whole time eating scrape procces ( using a Pi ) and let XBMC just read the info in the movie folder.

Now when I refrest my library it does use my ofline info, BUT it still connects to The Movie DB and that takes allot of time ( specialy with a big movie collection and when using raspberry )

Hope that there is a way to make this progress go faster by directly using the offline files.

Using
-- Frodo
-- Raspberry

Media is stored at
-- Nas Server
-- Computer
-- External HDD

I had the same issue. Turn off downloading actor thumbnails: Go into XBMC -> Settings -> Video -> Library -> and disable the "Download actor thumbnails when adding to library" option.

Hi,

Thanks gonna try that first thing next morning ! Hope that it will be my solution as well !
