Guys,
I ve just switched back from MediaPortal to XBMC, reason is very simple:
MOVIE INFO PLUS RULES and is not compatible with Mediaportal!
So, I m still learning everyday from XBMC and today is a new day and I hope you guys can help me further on my way. I ll try to describe as shot as possible what I did and what I want:
Wat I want:
Scan my movies with movie info plus, choose the arts and posters that I want to use and intergrate them into XBMC.
What I did so far:
Run Movie Info Plus. Choose my patch where my movies are stored (I use One main dir. called My Movies on my HD and in this map are all sepate maps for each movie). After this I ran Precache in MIP. Than I clicked each movie in the right bar of MIP and selected the fanart and poster that I wanted. After this I clicked on settings and choose 'Process all movies and recreate nfo files'. Closed MIP. After this I went to my Movie folder on my HD and saw that each movie folder contained one .nfo file, two .tbn files and a few .jpg files.
Ok, so far so good what I did? If not, please correct me where wrong!
Ok, next thing I did was run XBMC and went to 'Whatch your video's' (I m using the 1.00 MediaStream skin). I went into the FILE MODE and clicked on ADD SOURCE. After this XBMC asked which PATH I wanted to use so I there selected my main Movie Directory which is in my case C:\Documents and Settings\Movies. I added this directory and then choose SET CONTENT. Now comes a few questions of me HOW to set the content up right. At set content you have the opprtunity to choose Movies, TV-shows, Music Video's and None. So logically I choose Movies. I saw in the list that came up next that TMDB was selected Yellow. But what I don t want is that XBMC scans my movies online again with TMDB because I already did this with MIP correct? The options that can also be picked has questionmarks too with me because I don t understand what they are for and what they do:
- Run Automated Scan
- Use Folder Names For Lookups
- Scan Recursively
- Exclude Path From Library Updates
Maybe you guys can help me on my way further and explain things to me I don t understand yet.
Thanks for all help, really appreciate it.
ps. Sorry for my bad English
