i feel like the new version is a lot slower than the previous versions.

it would be nice if the program could scan previous nfo files for imdb title ids. of course, if you already have a .nfo file, and then have the program scan, you end up with 2 .nfo files, and 2 entries in the list. maybe the option to overwrite the existing .nfo file or something.

It would effect too many other movies which aren't multipart.

A little dab will do you.
The problem I have is writing the crpytic nfo file for anything other then the most simple things. A nfo editor on the Mac like whats out for Windows would be a godsend.
There are so many things that need to be tweaked with an nfo to be correct in XBMC. This is IMDB (and other) related, not XBMC.
Gamester17 Wrote:> NFO would be a nice option but should not really be needed, IMO best would be if XBMC could collect the media-information of each video when it is first scanned into the database (on the initial scan). Media-information such as; horisonatal & vertical pixel resolution, number of audio-streams with the language and type of those streams (DTS, Dolby Digital, 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, etc.), and also number of subtitle-streams and the language of those subtitle streams.
plooger Wrote:> Here's a scenario for why XBMC displaying offline DVDs would be handy... I either don't have the HDD space or the personal time to rip my entire DVD collection to the hard drive; however, I would like my family and house guests to be able to search through my *entire* media collection (online and offline) to find something that interests them -- and XBMC's library is a whole lot nicer than having to stroll around to the various DVD storage cabinets spread around the house.[/indent]
Some short-term workarounds...
- Rather than using an empty file as the placeholder for the offline DVD disc, I can use some short, small homemade video clips instructing the viewer that the selected media is a DVD not stored online... and could go so far as to have several different clips for each DVD storage location in the house. ("The DVD disc you have selected to play is stored in the main Living Room entertainment center.") Extra credit for also noting DVDs that have been loaned-out.
- Find a relatively simple/automated way to overlay some graphic (disc, house) onto media thumbnails associated with offline content, providing a visual cue that a given title is offline.
