Some discs are in their original cases, in one of several bookcases
Some discs are in their original cases, hidden away in bookcase drawers
Some discs are in binders with 4 discs / page and side
Some discs are in sleeve drawers with two sided, color coded sleeves
...etc
Describing that, in a way that gf/friends/relatives can understand, is not something that will look nice crammed into the title of the movies. I really need a db field / xml tag where I can store a verbose non-cryptic description.
Now that Disc Stub support is part of XBMC, what you are asking would actually be quite easy to implement if you know C++. It's not a feature I needed so I didn't make it part of my patch, and unfortunately I've been short on spare time lately, so it won't be something I would have time to add anytime soon. But if anyone familiar with C++ programming wants to, I can even tell you exactly where to add the required code, etc.
Thanks,
