I might sound stupid (it's not that difficult as I actually am) but do I understand you right:

With stubs you are in fact proposing support for additional nfo files, but with different extensions?

No, that's not it.

Stub files will stay zero size like originally intended, I simply had an idea I threw out there that I think made things a little confusing.

Here's how it would work. Let's say you have two DVDs you want to add to your XBMC library, Finding Nemo, and Bug's Life. You would create two empty files where ever you store the rest of your digital media files called:

Finding Nemo (2003).dvd
Bug's Life (2000).dvd

Btw, I'm guessing on the years of those movies

Then you would ask XBMC to scan that location for new files and it would detect those files and add the items to the library. When you select the item from XBMC to play it, XBMC would present you with a dialog box asking you to insert the DVD.

I think were things got confusing was my idea of including the DVD number (some people have custom DVD collections based on numbers, not titles) inside the file, but like pointed out, this is probably not the best idea. It's probably better to just include such DVD number info inside an .nfo file if the user wishes to create an extra .nfo file with this info in it.

Thanks,
Harry
