Great work, and yes it is time consuming but worth it at the end.

I also go to http://getvideoartwork.com/ and then upload the good looking posters to http://www.themoviedb.org/

Some of the ones on tmdb are either bad quality or not in English or with no movie name or the promotional posters before the movie was out, etc...

I did a massive update to all the Pirates of he Caribbean and Batman posters.
As well as all the James Bond movies, I uploaded all the older James Bond poster designs that were on getvideoartwork

Thanks for doing your part in the overall scheme.

I took all 22 movies and added "James Bond" as a genre to all 22 nfos. In XBMC I'm then able to navigate to genre>james bond and list the 22 movies. I then sort by year so it shows them in order.

ah..

not quite the answer i was hoping for but thanks anyway mate

[MrTourettes]

What I do to order my james bond is edit the names ( can do this on hd or in xbmc ) as like so...

James Bond 01 - Dr No
James Bond 02 - ....

How the hell do you fit all those videos in your system? I got 3TB's but your HD collection baffles me..

[krypt2nite]

I have 6 1TB Western Digital green drives. I have 2000 movies but actually only 200 are in either 720-1080p. The average size of one of my HD movies is 4.2-13Gbs. Vast majority are 720p and about 4.2-6 GBs

Do you have these in your HTPC or another dedicated machine or what?

I'm planning on building a dedicated server running UnRaid, but for the time being the hard drives are all in my main machine. Dual 22 inch monitors, quad, 4 gig, etc. I do all my work, testing, development on this machine. I like the ease of organizing my media on my main workbench but I don't think it will be harder to do it over Gigabit.

My main computer streams the data to my HTPC over Gigabit.

As my hard drives fill up I add additional Terabyte drives. I get the drive for 90$ from Newegg. They are always having promotions.

I add a 007 to the beginning and then the number of the movie.

So it will be
007-01 Dr.No
007-02 From Russia With Love

Etc.

Thats one sweet set-up man. I have 3 1tb Western Digital external drives (I think they're called mybook) and they've been working out well for me. I'm thinking about adding some internal drives (I'm only running 2 320gb segate drives).

I take it you like the Western Digital green drives? Are they by any chance very loud? (I like a quiet machine)

[hikaricore]

Still waiting for the price of the 2Tb drives to come down myself, they're only down 20$ from the original 300$ price months later.

No sir the drives are whisper quiet. They carry the green label for a reason. They are actually rated at 5400-7200rpm. For a pure data drive it is perfect. Can't go wrong with these drives.

I've just moved to using unRAID. Currently only using 3x1TB drives (2 data,1 parity) and it's streaming fine to my Mac Mini in the lounge. Good thing about unRAID is I can add new drives whenever I want with no fuss, and know that I've got some protection from drive failure.

[Arkon11]

sweet. I'll have to pick some up when I'm in need.

I actually just grabbed 2, 1tb Western Digital Mybook's over at Staples

They only have usb 2.0 connections, but that's perfectly fine for my needs. It's when I know I'm going to be out of the house for a while. (my girlfriend has a media center pc, so I can just grab the hardrive, and run over there)
