Hi
Im having serious trouble bringing my media center library to XBMC.
my library is setup as follows
Appalosa.avi
folder.jpg
backdrop.jpg
mymovies.xml
the local data is ignored for my TVshows folder and works when using XBMC built in scrapers. My Movies folder however does not work at all, i tried renaming all my folder.jpg to fanart and that sort of works, however im guessing the mymovies.xml buggers up everything, as it will not show movie info.
Anyway, could someone tell me the best way to convert this over. I got 2TB of movies and tv, if i have to go in and delete all *jpg and *xml files its gonna take for ever. My goal is to use a standalone program to scrape and save all metadata locally.
I was using meta-browser for Windows Media Center and it was pretty straight forward, I would appreciate any suggestions for a XBMC compatible program. Ive tried M.I.P and it just crashed on my PC.
Thanks

First step of troubleshooting: Do a debug log while scanning one movie (just C on the folder -> movie information).
Post it to pastebin (the whole log) and link from here.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks for the help X
I deleted all the mymovies.xml files and renamed the "backdrop.jpg" to "fanart.jpg"
Interestingly if i just go to videos/files/movies it shows my movies with a backdrop and a poster, all looks good. However is if go to videos/library everything is still messed up. Im gonna try and figure out how to get a debug log. Im running XBMC on Win 7.

Patience, patience, once Jonathan gets a look at the files you graciously posted (for once a user that listens), he will be able to determine the next step.

Posted mymovies.xml works for me, but it seems as if it's an older version as there are no cast/person types in the file.

Strangely enough when I add my "movies" folder I cannot seem to get into library mode?
Must be some new update thing, or only xbmc scraped folders?
Once again any help would be appreciated
vdrfan...... am i possibly missing something along the way that tells XBMC to read or search my media folders for the .xml files?

Scratch this post, I figured it out. Thanks for the help, Sorry for the brainfart
