Multi scraping is coming with version 1.4 but this takes another 1 or 2 weeks.

Thank you and congratulation for your software !

To use it correctly with XBMC on apple TV2: should I just have to add all the metadata with scrapers in the same movile folder on my NAS, and press the button XBMC-Sync ?
Should I do something on the XBMC config to configure it using local metadata ?

Thank you

The best option is to store the metadata side by side with your media (on the NAS).... something like this:

<Star Wars>
|__ <Star Wars>.mp4
|__ <Star Wars>.nfo <----- created by MediaElch
|__ <Star Wars>-poster.jpg <----- created by MediaElch
|__ <Star Wars>-fanart.jpg <----- created by MediaElch



Then, you need to 'scan' your media folders using XBMC which is automatically detect the nfo, poster and fanart.
If you already have the movie in your library, it's sometimes just easier to remover it from the library, then rescan for new media, and it will re-add the movie (or TV show) with the new information.

This is smart, because IF everything is lost on your XBMC system, all you have to do is reinstall XBMC, set up your sources again, and rescan - XBMC will re-add all the meta info from your NAS server,

I'm not 100% certain, but I think if there is an nfo file there, it will NOT fetch missing information. It will assume the NFO is correct and any missing info is deliberate.

I should also mention though, that XBMC can create the nfo, fanart and poster files.... this is done by selecting the Export option (hidden away in the settings for XBMC.

If you had a completely new system, with NO metadata, XBMC can scrape all the data for you, and will automatically put the information it the database / library. However, you can export the information, which will create the files mentioned above. Again, this means if you ever lose your database, or screw up your install, XBMC will not have to rescrape the internet for data, it can use the files found side by side with the media (as above).
