yeah thats right...for me none of the supplemental tools are working....
i tried ember media manager....
i do tried scrapping with but it just scraps nfo and extrathumbs.....
well but when i open xbmc see the movie details there it does not show "outline" information and does not load any poster fanart and backdrops it just load those extra thumbs(all scraped by emm)....
so that means emm just do extra thumb scraping for me.....

so i tried different scraping softwares like media companion, yanfoe and some more....they also dont work properly....

so than i got tired of searching and decided to do all the movies manually...
by going to the movie details in xbmc and click refresh and than downloading fanart and thumbs.....

i am already done with 50% of the movies...and tv shows....(that was huge pain in ass)
but still i want to know that there may be some way to do that scraping automatically for all the movies.....(i heard that removing source of the movies and than adding it again let u scrap all movie information at once but that also doesnt work for me properly it just scraps 10% of the movies and thats of no use coz 5% of them are not scraped correctly)

and scraping by xbmc does not load movie trailers link...(and if it loads than they are dead link)

so the point is that i want a gud working scraping tool(emm is dead now..)
and i also want to scrap trailer via those scraping tools or xbmc.....

more information:
OS windows xp x32
xbmc v10(no remote just keyboard and mouse)
and the default confluence theme...(default theme given by xbmc v10)

plzz reply urgently .....scraping all movies manually feels like hell...

i also forgot to tell that i m a total noob(newbie) and does not understand any complicated coding

Sounds to me like your scrapers are working fine, but you didn't set up XBMC for library mode or didn't update the library:

If you did you might want to remove a source and readd it to toggle rescanning of all items.

That sounds about right. If your movies are already in your XBMC library and you use an external tool to scrape meta data you need to manually update every movie you scraped externally to get the new information. If you did it for all your movies best way to do this is to remove the movie source and re-add it and then update your library and XBMC should read all the new information correctly.

sorry man i forgot to mention one thing... that my scrapers are not scraping posters , fanart and trailers ...it is scraping metadata....and it just load some information and than manually we have to select the posters and fanart we need to scrap..(thats also huge pain in ass)and does not scrap the full information....
