Daym!! I finally figured it out!!
I'm going to edit your original instructions and add what worked for me:
What really messed me up and wasted so many hours of my time was that the info in this link is partially incorrect:

In this section:
2. "Folder contains a single Video / TV Show" in scraper options means that the selected source only contains ONE Video / TV Show
For some whack reason, if this option is selected, it messes up XBMC so that it doesn't want to scan in any Ember formatted content. Even though you may have only 1 movie per folder (as Ember likes to format it AND as the setting itself dictates), it still messes up XBMC. However, since there is only 1 movie per folder, it doesn't hurt to not have it checked at all. I thought it HAD TO BE SELECTED since I had only 1 movie per folder.
Geeze, what a waste of time, but thanks for your contribution, it made me go back and try different settings, which helped me figure out exactly why it wasn't working!
I'm using version: xbmc-9.11.exe
It could the the version, or maybe some weird config thing w/my system (but I doubt that cuz keep my XP SP3 HTPC super clean, only have zoomPlayer, iTunes, KaraFun, FF, Chrome, Skype, RocketDock & uTorrent on it--ie, pretty close to stock). Anyway, in case anyone else runs into this problem...
Cheers!
I'm going to edit your original instructions and add what worked for me:
Quote:To add a source that has been built by ember do these following steps. As I use ember to organize my movie and television library. 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.
Step 9.) Make sure that the radio button for:
"Folder contains a single Video / TV Show"
is NOT SELECTED!!
Then click on OK to exit the dialog and it should start scanning for your Ember formatted content.
