- In XBMC one movie was labelled wrong. I corrected it now, and in the folder there are two nfo files with correct information. One is named movie.nfo, the other is labelled "moviename".nfo. Both now have the correct movie title. In XBMC library mode I still see the wrong title displayed, so I deleted the library and did a new "set content" - but the wrong title stays. Is it really necessary to also manually delete these two files? Then what is the purpose of deleting library in XBMC?
delete MyVideos34.db
located: xbmc/userdata/Database/MyVideos34.db
And clear thumbs also.
located: xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/Video
- Trying to figure out all the movie info and fanart stuff I really messed up my folders. I know have folder.jpg, fanart.jpg, movie.jpg and movie.tbn present in each folder. There will also be a "moviename"-fanart.jpg "moviename".nfo and "moviename".tbn file. This makes manual editing harder as I often don't understand which files are used by XBMC first. is it the moviename or movie? And which tool created which?
- When Mediainfo has everything shown correctly. What are the settings needed under "set content" - as I don't want XBMC to change titles at that point which I have just all selected so carefully from behind my pc, but I do want that info to be added to library?
you should be able to remove it from the library and update
MyVideos34.db - names, information
xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/Video - images (posters, fanart, etc)
movie.nfo - used for any movie in a folder
"moviename".nfo - used for file level movies, can also be used for folder level movies as well
(mip makes both for max compatibility with xbmc versions)
you shouldn't have to manually edit, when using mip, you can change and save data for the movie from the user interface.
"use foldername for lookups"
"scan recursively"
those are the settings for folder level movies
