I tried MIP for the first time yesterday. It seems pretty easy to use.
However, when I scanned my collection of movies and then re-scanned my content from whithin XBMC, a LOT of the previous covers and fanart was gone! 98% (yes, 98%) of my movies won't show any Studio-flags or anything. Many do, however, show Media Format (BlyRay & HDDVD). Still, most of the movies won't.
I've tried to delete the library and start fresh with a new scan of my content, but the problem is still there.
Also, MIP won't find almost any info of my movies, so Media Flagging doesn't really work. However, I belive this is because 99% of my movies are rar'ed, and I guess MIP doesn't unpack the files to search the video for resolution and such.
This is the look of my collection:
/Movies/
/The.Matrix.1999.1080p.HDDVD.x264-GROUP/
/fanart.jpg
/movie.nfo
/The.Matrix.1999.1080p.HDDVD.x264-GROUP.nfo
/the.matrix.1999.1080p.hddvd.x264-GROUP.part01.rar -> part86.rar
/The.Matrix.1999.1080p.HDDVD.x264-hV-fanart.jpg (same as fanart.jpg)
This movie does NOT have Studio, resolution or sound-tag. It does, however, have Format-tag (HDDVD). It also doesn't have a cover or fanart. And there's no way of choosing one.
Since MIP have overwritten all my scene-nfo's WITHOUT me ticking that box when running "Auto Pilot", there's no going back to before either.
Any ideas?
EDIT: And yes, all my movies do have BluRay or HDDVD in their foldername, except some with BD9 instead (these, I know won't have any Format-tag).

MIP will not overwrite an invalid .nfo file, it will however rename it after it grabs the imdbid from within that file. If you where using a test version, that may have happened.. the release build is actually really annoying in that it will always make a copy. What version of mip are you using?
rar files are not supported, and I have no intention of adding media info scanning for those, there's too many variants, the possiblity of corruption in the archive, other crap in there that's not the video.. just not something I am going to mess with.
Of course if you wanna make a patch that adds that support, i'm all for it
so for your media information from mip is not really going to work.. mip can still handle all the other files.
i see in another post there's other questions about where content is and about fanart and other items not working.
please pick a movie where your fanart is not showing, and provide me a list of all the files and folder name that you'r using.. also need to know what version of xbmc your running.
