Version 1.719 is now available.
Series thumbs should now be stored in a way that XBMC can import.
Support has also been added for DVD Folders. VIDEO_TS.nfo and tbn files are created.
If the path is movietitle\VIDEO_TS\DVD files then the movie will be listed as movietitle.
If the path is movietitle\DVD files the movie will still be listed as movietitle.
enable this option in the preferences screen to find VIDEO_TS.IFO files when scanning for movies.

I'm a little worried that if I delete all of them and preform a rescan all my custom fanart/posters will be lost.
Using a script.. I can whip up a simple python script if you have python installed..
Yay it works
Thanks for fixing this.. All the season thumbs are there except for the "specials" which I'll just add manually since I see how to do it now..

I forgot to add "season 0" thumbnail for specials, i'm going to bed now, i'm knackered, but i'll add this tomorrow.
I have also noticed some series wont scan if it's set to get the info from imdb, just some though.
Blade for example, my shows are in season folders in a folder called Blade. It sayd cant open imbd...... and in the nfo it has the correct imdb number but it is missing the "tt" from the beginning, and i guess this is the problem, works fine if i select tvdb though, which is what i'd use anyway
Shorty

No worries, I just backed them all up, deleted the nfo's, re-scanned, copied them all back, set the content to 'None' and then back to 'Movies'. Thanks anyway.

As you can see it seems that the existence of the nfo is itself the problem. If you find this is not the case then please let me know.
I think I've found the problem here and it should be fixed in the next release.
I couldn't find any more information on getting local trailers to play when you are using .nfo files (which are pointing to the IMDB).
As one of the Developers stated, if you change the <trailer> tag inside the .nfo file to point to your local copy i.e. (<trailer>smb://MediaServer/videos/trailers/movie-trailer.flv</trailer>) it will play your local copy.
Now the thought of manually editing hundreds of .nfo files to change their <trailer> path is crazy, so I wrote a quick little bash script to do it for me:
trailerbatch.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# /path/to/video/dir/trailerbatch.sh
# trailerbatch.sh is a script to batch process your .nfo files and replace
# the url of <trailer></trailer> with a path to a local file
# Copyright (C) 2008 Mic Marvin
# start main script
for moviefile in *.nfo
do
mv $moviefile $moviefile.tmp;
trailerName=`basename "$moviefile" .nfo`
sed -e 's/<trailer>.*<\/trailer>/<trailer>smb:\/\/Your_MediaServer_path_to_nfo_files\/'"$trailerName"'-trailer.flv<\/trailer>/g' $moviefile.tmp > $moviefile; rm $moviefile.tmp;
done
The script needs to be inside your video folder sitting next to your .nfo files, and don't forget to replace "Your_MediaServer_path_to_nfo_files" with your path (back slashes / must be escaped with forward slashes \)... and make the script executable.
This script works ok for me, your mileage may vary.
billyad2000,
Do you think you could add a way to scrape different sources for the trailers?
Would it also be possible to automatically specify a local path to the trailers instead of a streaming URL?
Maybe I'm just missing something in the way the trailers and .nfo files are suppose to be used, but I like the idea of having everything local and in one spot.
billyad2000,
This program looks amazing
Any chance for a Mac version, for us OSXBMC/Plex users?
Thanks
Martin
Version 1.724 is now available to try

Series 0 season thumbs are now scraped. In addition to this i've re-written the season thumb parser to make getting season thumbs more consistent. If they are available then Wide Thumbs are given priority, then if these are not available then Normal thumbs are used.
Once the editor is up and running people will have more choice in this.

This issue should be fixed now. Some people have input the IMDB code without the tt on tvdb.
If the IMDB no is 7 numbers then tt will be inserted at the front. If the IMDB ID is still not the correct format then an option is given to grab TVDB actor nfo.
As an added bonus the fanart paths are now added to the tvshow.nfo. This should mean that different available fanarts can be browsed and changed via XBMC. This needs testing though.

This is a know bug with XBMC and will likely be fixed soon, see the following thread for more info
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36190
This program looks best on resolutions of 1024x768 or greater, however, for those who are using lower resolutions and can't see all of the preferences window, if you maximize the window and are using a lower resolution then scrollbars are now enabled.
I would appreciate it if people would test this version for me and let me know of any bugs, so that I can make it an official release point.
Where i have to add the TVDB.com Id in a .nfo file? My TVShow folders will be not accepted.

Excellent work.... i'll be using this over then next few days, so will let you know any problems i discover
@perle - You shouldn't need to do that manualy, is this happening for every TV show? If you are adding your TV folder, rather than one series at a time, this could be the problem, as you need to do it one by one.

I tested the support for DVD folders. It works great. It even scans deep into subdirectories and not only the two options shown above! So a path '12 Monkeys\...\VIDEO_TS\dvd files' gets the video_ts.nfo added in the right directory. this does not (yet) work for the folder.jpg. It always gets added in the directory that contains the VIDEO_TS directory. If the path is " 12 monkeys\..\VIDEO_TS\ dvd files" . The folder.jpg should be added as "12 monkeys\folder.jpg" and not "12 Monkeys\..\folder.jpg which is currently the case.
1. the combolistbox does not show the movie names but only VIDEO_TS and only of the first movie. So instead of '12 Monkeys' I only see VIDEO_TS; and
2. selecting the next VIDEO_TS will not show the associated movie information but just keep showing the "12 Monkeys" information.
3. When I select ´SCAN for new Movies´ on the first run the program adds the video_ts.nfo files: It will say " Scanning IMBD for VIDEO_TS. 11 movies found". However, When I close the program again "scan for new movies" the program again adds the .nfo for the VIDEO_TS directories because I see it again in the info window" SCanning IMBD for VIDEO_TS. 11 movies found" ect. This is strange since the movie info is already added in the first scan.
4. IF I click on FILE in the menu and select "ADD FOLDER" no folder gets added. The same applies for the icon on the menubar.
5. In the preference window changes to the option "enable fanart for movies" are not saved. It does only work if I change the setting manually in the config file.
6. When I choose exit without saving in the preference window, it seems the program still rebuilds the listbox which would not have to be the case since I exit without saving.

this might have gotten skipped over
