Several of my movies have the following structure:
Movie.Name\CD1\moviename-cd1.rar ...
Movie.Name\CD2\moviename-cd2.rar ...
Movie.Name\Sample\sample-.avi
Movie.Name\Subs\subs-moviename-cd1.rar, subs-moviename-cd2.rar
I'm sure you are all familiar with this, as this is what pretty much every multiple CD scene release out there is packed.
I'm having great troubles scanning this properly into Ember. Does anyone have any pointers on proper settings for this situation? Unless I scan recursively, multiple CD movies will not be detected, if I scan recursively, I will get one movie for each cd1/cd2 directory, I will get plenty of movies just called "CD1", "CD2", "Subs" and so on.
Any pointers on how to resolve this will be appreciated (unraring everything and not using CD1/CD2 subfolders is not an option, and XBMC supports this construct for stacking).
I guess what I am looking for is for Ember to just use the folder names, and don't bother with whats inside the folders, just accept that if there is a folder, there is a movie in there.
Tusse.
Well, 1. I'm not sure I agree with your claim that this is the standard packing method for the scene is true. Scene rules determine whether or not it is one CD or multiple CD, and rar sizes and etc, but they do not specifically say exactly how contents should be organised. I can't recall when the last time a Nuke or Repack occurred due to multiple-cd movies being put into the wrong folder structure...
And no 2. If you really wish to take advantage of all the other cool stuff like extrathumbs, then I suggest you re-organise to fit how XBMC does things. Here is my suggestion
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd1.avi
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd1.sub
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd2.avi
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd2.sub
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd3.avi
Movie Name \ Movie Name.cd3.sub
Movie Name \ Movie Name.txt <- scene nfo renamed
Movie Name \ Movie Name-trailer.avi <- scene sample renamed (if you like)
Movie Name \ folder.jpg
Movie Name \ movie.tbn
Movie Name \ movie.nfo <- XBMC NFO
Movie Name \ fanart.jpg
Movie Name \ extrathumb \ ... <- thumbs
But it's just a suggestion... Anyway, I had to/have to re-organise(d) all my movie names and structures when I started using XBMC too, so my advice is, just bite the bullet..
