But is this really how Concerts in AEON MQ5 is supposed to work? You need a utility like this, or you have to create your own .nfo file for each concert? Does anyone have a sample concert .nfo that they can share with me so I can add it myself?

Adding Concerts in to XBMC sucks!

When I added mine I had to do it manually, creating each .nfo file and downloading and renaming the artwork.

I only have some music video files I downloaded, in my Concerts area and a couple of DVD rips.

This is my blank template .nfo file for music videos, I just fill in these fields and name it like: artistname - trackname.nfo

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" standalone="yes" ?>
<musicvideo>
    <title></title>
    <artist></artist>
    <album></album>
    <plot></plot>

    <genre></genre>
    <genre></genre>
    <genre></genre>
    <genre></genre>
    <director></director>
    <studio></studio>
</musicvideo>

I just looked at a .nfo file now and they now look like the example below, so after then have been played, XBMC must populate all this other stuff like <fileinfo>, as I didn't.

here is an example for: The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

    <plot>&quot;Video Killed the Radio Star&quot; is a song written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley in 1978. It was first recorded by Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club (with Thomas Dolby on keyboards) for their album English Garden, and later by British synthpop and new wave group The Buggles, consisting of Horn and Downes. The track was released as their debut single on 7 September 1979 by Island Records, and is from their first album The Age of Plastic.</plot>

For the artwork I name them like this:

The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star-fanart.jpg
The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star-poster.jpg

And the actual video file is name like this:

The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star.mp4

And is located in a folder called:

\\Server\Music Videos\Videos\The Buggles

I also have another folder for the few DVD concerts I have

\\Server\Music Videos\DVD\

You can then import music video files in to the XBMC concerts area once you have created your nfo files and got a poster and fanart image etc.

Hope this helps.
