zag2me Wrote:We discussed this in some depth on the meedios forums and have made some of our importers compatible with the XBMC .nfo files. The only disagreement is simply the naming of the exported file.

The XML structure is great but why use the .nfo extension? This clashes with scene nfo files and makes it really confusing.

http://www.meedios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4637

If this could be changed to something like .xml or more generic, then all the apps could have an easy way of importing and exporting between each other. Something that would be a first step to cross app compatibility and a unified media manager.

This sounds realistic. There is a (small) conflict in file naming. Maybe something like...

Code:
mediaName.avi

mediaName.info.xml

mediaName.fanart.1.jpg

mediaName.fanart.2.jpg

mediaName.folder.1.jpg

mediaName.folder.2.jpg

mediaName.subtitle.eng.srt

mediaName.subtitle.nl.sub

mediaName.subtitle.nl.idx

mediaName.cover.front.tbn

mediaName.cover.inlay.tbn

...could be a more consistent and less conflicting method? The only issue with this would be the naming of the subtitle files. I think the default for a lot of applications is. "mediaName.eng.(srt|sub|idx)". I'm not sure what this would mean for XBMC regarding changes in the code.
