Hi.
I'm new to XBMC, and I really like it. But I'm missing a vital feature, which is really bugging me.
The feature in question is the ability to add offline dvd media to my library without manually creating dummy files (this would take for-wait for it-ever). I have a fair number of movies and TV-shows on retail discs, and since my apartment doesn't allow me to add more shelf space anymore, I need to have said discs under various objects around my apartment.
Now, what I was thinking was that when you insert the DVD or Bluray the first time, a prompt would ask you if you would want to add the movie / TV-show to your library.
If you selected yes, the title in question would show up as normal in your library, but with a DVD / Bluray tag. If you then select play, it would ask you to insert the disc.
The entries for these objects could be stored in a library file, with disc info and such stored in it.
I am not asking for offline storage support, such as USB drives or sticks, as that would require the software to rescan every thing you stuff into the USB socket. Atleast with Windows and drive letters, which tends to change.
I hope I'm not asking for too much, and that I don't offend anyone with this.
