Why are you guys that focused on numbers as disc labels. Just make that thing generic and call it "medianame" then. How somebody is labeling his discs is up to him, isn't it? "medianumber" is indicating that it has to be a number no matter what.

I see your point. I guess I owe an explanation why it looks as I'm insisting on it

FILES mode: I can open folder and see what disc I have to put

Finding.Nemo.DVD.(2005).105 so I just go and grab disc N.105. In order to add such a movie I need only to make empty file and name it properly, no need for making and editing NFOs. Such file can happily coexist with others even in case user don't use subfolders to organize content. It's also worth noticing that "Finding.Nemo.DVD.(2005)" naming convention is regularly used by popular -convertors- we use to make our movies.

MOVIE mode: Same as above. I can put DVD or HDD or BR in file name if I want, but it's not mandatory. XBMC tells me disc number derived from extension and I decide if it can or can't be played in XBMC. Nothing is stopping me to put it in HDD player if I own one.

In either case movie name is shown in XBMC so I can search my collection by name if I don't care about numbers, though they're IMO a must with large collections.

NFO files: In case tag like <offline>105</offline> is added i can populate library from nfo files or export to ones if I want to. But again, it's not mandatory and I can do it without them as described above.

For all this to work file size of offline movies _must_ be zero.

Now this describes easiest way as I see it, but your mileage may vary.

So, kudos to Harry for a patch. It's just that my approach and my preferences are different.
