Harry Muscle Wrote:It seems it's more or less a split between people wanting offline media support that requires a user to insert a DVD to catalog it vs those that want dummy files to represent DVDs, just better and more streamlined than the way dummy files for DVDs work today.

Maybe we should start by realizing XBMC is not cataloging SW. If we can agree with that, than it's about telling XBMC how to recognize already cataloged content.

a) for those not wanting to get their hands dirty with nfo files, I suggest using dummy file with convenient name ie:
offlinemedia(disc_number_here).avi or maybe even better would be name_of_movie(year).disc_number Devs will know better.

b) Add convenient tag to nfo file <offline></offline>

c) We should put this disc number in DB URL field so it is recognized as offline and it number gets reported for..

d) ..presenting user with message: "Insert disc * in order to play"

Hope this helps.
