Once you have scraped all of the information in ember and you are ready to go (and dependent upon which skin you are using, I will be referring to Confluence here.)
Step 1.) Go to your XBMC home screen.
Step 2.) Go to Videos > Files.
Step 3.) From there choose Add Source.
Step 4.) Navigate to the Drive/Folder that contains the media that you wish to
add.
Step 5.) Choose OK, then click on < Set Content >
Step 6.) Select Movies (or television show, dependent upon what it is that
you are trying to add.
Step 7.) Choose any movie or television scraper (as XBMC will not even have
to scrape online if the information in the NFO files is accurate.)
Step 8.) Now you will see a radio button that says Run automated scan.
Click that button and then click on OK to exit the dialog.
Once the dialog exits XBMC will automatically start adding the found sources to the library for you. Ember makes it simpler to carry your media around as far as portability is concerned (at least that is my opinion.) If an NFO is found in any given directory XBMC will load that file before sending information off to an online scraper. I have had nothing but good luck out of ember media manager.
I hope that this answers your question. If it does not, I am sorry. Perhaps you could re-state your question as I was not quite sure what you were asking.
Additional information regarding your task may be found by using the following website as well. In a lot of cases forum responses are not as speedy or lively as we may like them to be. For more information on your question: Click Here.
Thank you.
Thanks for the awesome write up! But, XBMC really has a stubborn time creating or adding Ember formatted sources to the library and this method doesn't work EVEN THO common sense says that it totally should work!
I've searched Google up and down, that's how I found the Library reference in the Wiki, but it's no use at all
Wish there was a simple manual way to "force" XBMC to add the contents of a source disk to the library.
