Ya know, I just really do not understand the way this is working....
I gave XBMC Media Center Companion a try (Latest avail build). I scanned all of my movies, and spent the better part of 5-10 hours correcting the movies that it got incorrect. I then wrote a script to go into each of my movie folders, and make a copy of the "mymovies-front.jpg" (Nice Hi-Res images) and rename the copy to "Movie Title.tbn.".
Once this was completed, I had Media Companion search for any available fan art.
Thinking everything was done, the .nfo's were already in place, all the .tbn cover art was in place, Available fanart was in place and thought that would be then end of it.
I opened XBMC, and removed all sources (Latest SVN build avail from links above). I then scanned the movie folders with XBMC, and it STILL had to scrape the web for every single movie ( a LONG time with 2,300 titles!). Why would it have to do this at all if the .nfo, Fanart, and .tbn's were all in place in every individual folder?
Upon completion, it has a LOT of the covers incorrect, and did not grab half of the fan art that were available in the folders.
What is going wrong here? All of my file naming conventions that XBMC are EXACTLY as stated in the online help files.
Here are the files that I have in one folder as an example:
As you can see I have BOTH the mymovies.sml, as well as the 2 Fast 2 Furious.nfo files in place. Why will it not just use the provided information, and still have to scrape the web, and get tons of covers and titles all messed up?
