Thanks, as expected a bit of missing mpaa's and obscure docos with no fanart, and lots of vgenres [tvshow, ***** and "vgenres [movie, *****]
This looks skin related and is confirmed by no genres subfolders in the extras folder contained inside the individual skin add-on directory.
What Milhouse's very useful script does confirm, is that using a good external media manager. One that parses filenames to store media in XBMC preferred individual folders and scrapes and stores full metadata within. This makes managing a large media library very easy. My RPi library has over 5000 media files and only 28 textures were not cached.
Happy as.
I would go so far as to suggest this should be mainlined into XBMC, with a some of simple GUI options. Wish I was a skilled coder.
