Right - with the disk ID you can do lots more, assuming you have a database backend to query.
Does DVDProfiler offer some sort of an http interface that you can query or something? If so, a scraper could be written. If not, it can't for now. Another option might be to write an addon to DVDProfiler to output XBMC's nfo format. Not sure if it allows that.
The plan eventually is to have XLST support (an xml file that describes how to translate one xml format into another) in the scrapers so that this sort of thing is doable. That gets all the logic for scraping various XML file formats out of XBMC and into addons. eg currently we support mymovie.xml or whatever it is internally, where ideally this stuff would be external so that when layouts change you don't need a new version of XBMC, you can just update the addon.
As for naming episodes, the format is:
<folder containing tvshows>/name of show (year)/folders/here/ignored/filename.s01e01.iso
I suggest not doing .ifo/vob - a single file is cleaner.
Cheers,
Jonathan
