Hey Guys,
i just discussed a feature request with Nuno Novais on the emm board regarding a 'bulk offline feature'... maybe someone can comment on that if this makes sense at all or if i missed something.
I gues im not alone with the situation i got. Besides my NAS server where most my media is stored, i still have some external HDDs laying around with movies.
Would it make sense to make these offline availible to XBMC through EMM in the following way:
You define a source in EMM as 'offline' (the external HDD where your media is located) plus a second folder where all the offline mediainformation is stored (this one will be accessible and online for xbmc all the time).
EMM handles all media on the offline marked HDD in the following way , the metainformation like fanart poster and stuff is copied to a placeholderfolder where emm also creates the placeholder video, then you can scrape this folder into xbmc and get your offline media into the xbmc library without having xbmc removed them again with a librarycleanup....
makes sense? more info here :
