Hi,

Iam thinking to move from freevo to xbmc.

My media library is quite well sorted, I have a structure etc. Freevo brings no auto-sorting mechanism.

To show some content in the menu, freevo uses

cover.jpg /folder.jpg files and
videofile.avi -> videofile.jpg files

along with that
videofile.avi.fxd -> contains info such as actors etc.

does xbmc bring simmilar functionality? I can convert the data files if neccessary, no problem. But is there a way to manually create an informational database

we use

NFO_files (wiki)
and more info on image files
Thumbnails (wiki)

cool, thanks..

i got the cover.jpg renamed fine. how about the nfo file.

Is there any way to display the content when scrolling through the videos?

<movie>
<title>28 Minuten bis zum Tod</title>

Yes, see adding videos to the library (wiki). You can either use online scrapers or NFO (wiki) files. I know nothing about .fxd files other than XBMC won't use them.
