When it asks export thumbs, fanart and actor thumbs select "Yes", when it asks overwrite old files select "No"
The only thing that it will export doing it this way is actor thumbs, all your other local files are seen as old files.
Only works if your local files are named exactly as xbmc exports them.
Thanks for the tip. Although it will take a long time with the size of my library, it certainly is less work. My only problem is i don't like the naming convention the export uses. I prefer the naming for each movie in it's own folder. I used to have it like that but then they introduced movie.nfo, fanart.jpg and movie.tbn, i switched to that as it was more efficient especially with Media Companion. I really don't want to go back AGAIN...
3 questions if i may :
If i am using movie.nfo and export, will it now have 2 nfos (movie.nfo and <moviename>.nfo) or will it overwrite movie.nfo?
Is it truly the <moviename>.nfo or <filename>.nfo? Because my movies are named like so :
Code:
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\2 Days In New York (2012)-1080p-BluRay-DTS.idx
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\2 Days In New York (2012)-1080p-BluRay-DTS.mkv
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\2 Days In New York (2012)-1080p-BluRay-DTS.sub
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\extrafanart
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\extrathumbs
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\fanart.jpg
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\folder.jpg
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\movie.nfo
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\movie.tbn
O:\Movies 12\2 Days In New York (2012)\poster.jpg
Does the .nfo have to be "2 Day In New York.nfo", "2 Day In New York (2012).nfo", or "2 Days In New York (2012)-1080p-BluRay-DTS.nfo"?
BTW: I dunno if you saw my PM but you should switch from the Alaska Group as the display group in your profile so we can add to your reputation. You are very helpful.
