Hi Jive,
Thanks for the information. I'm not really looking to do this in multiple stages. MyMovies can both tag and rip movies in a single step, and from what I understand, XBMC can read that information.
I'm looking specifically for people who've done this before, using MyMovies.
From your suggestion it sounds like i have to manually input 700+ movies into a myIMDB account, then rip those movies using a specific folder structure and naming convention, then use the XBMC plugin to draw this information into XBMC. Is that correct?
Thanks,
D

(This post was last modified: 2008-12-12, 07:58 by hehe299792458.)
I have a 300+ DVD collection indexed in MyMovies, and I want to import them to XBMC. I rather not go through the process of editing the entire database again, so is there some way I just import the existing data from MyMovies into XBMC?
My films are organized by:
Video\Movies\Movie_name\movie\video_ts
Video\Movies\Movie_name\special features\video_ts
There are MyMovies XML + folder.jpg files in each folder.
Thanks

Just do it .. mymovies.xml support was added in SVN revision 16178.
Note, you will have to get a more recent XBMC version as the 'Atlantis' release.

So either your version is not able to use the mymovies.xml or something else is wrong. Please enable debug logging (see link in my sig) and pastebin the given xbmc.log.

I am new to XBMC but would love to switch from vista media center. I use my movies and have tried importing MM data with a somewhat recent SVN and everything works great for me except genres. I only get one genre when I often times have multiple genres in MM. If I manually change the specific mymovies.xml from
<Genres>
<Genre>Adventure</Genre>
<Genre>Comedy</Genre>
<Genre>Fantasy</Genre>
<Genre>Action</Genre>
</Genres>
to
<Genres>
<Genre>Adventure/Comedy/Fantasy/Action</Genre>
</Genres>
it will pick them up. Is this just me or is there something I need to do different. Thanks for an awesome tool.

Having multiple genre tags should be fine (at least from looking at the code). Mind uploading your mymovies.xml somewhere? Maybe it is due to some invalid characters.
